Nur In Meinem Kopf Lyrics in English Andreas Bourani

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Nur In Meinem Kopf by Andreas Bourani from German to English.
I can conquer the world in three seconds
Storm the sky and live inside me
Make peace in two seconds
Make love, poison the enemy
Build castles in a second
Move in for two days and smash everything
Burn all the world's money
And know the future today
And it's all just in my head
And it's all just in my head
I'd have loved to stay there longer
But thoughts come and fly away
All just in my head
And it's all just in my head
We're invisible for two seconds of eternity
I stop time
Can learn to fly in seconds
And know what it's like never to die
See the world through your eyes
Eyes closed and walk through walls
And it's all just in my head
And it's all just in my head
I'd have loved to stay there longer
But thoughts come and fly away
All just in my head
And it's all just in my head
You're like me, I'm like you
We're all made of fantasy
We're made of dust and fantasy
We're made of dust and fantasy
And it's all just in my head
And it's all just in my head
I'd have loved to stay there longer
But thoughts come and fly away
All just in my head
And it's all just in my head
All just in my head
In my head
I'd have loved to stay there longer
But thoughts come and fly away

SONG MEANING

Have you ever conquered the world while waiting for the bus? In "Nur In Meinem Kopf" Andreas Bourani catapults us into a whirlwind of imagination where the normal rules of time and gravity take a coffee break. Within seconds the singer storms heaven, makes peace, falls in love, builds castles, and then gleefully smashes them to pieces. Every line feels like pushing the turbo button on day-dream mode, proving that inside our heads we can be superheroes, architects, and daredevils all at once.

Yet the chorus keeps tugging us back to reality: "Alles nur in meinem Kopf" — everything is only in my head. Bourani celebrates the limitless canvas of fantasy while admitting how quickly those vibrant ideas flutter away. The song becomes a playful reminder that although our boldest adventures might never leave our minds, they can still fuel creativity, empathy, and a shared sense that "we are made of dust and fantasy." It is both a joyous anthem to dreaming big and a gentle nudge to treasure the spark before it vanishes.
