Tausendmal das Gleiche
A thousand times the same thing
Fremdes macht mir Angst
Strange things scare me
Gott hat sich im Wunsch versteckt
God has hidden in the wish
Keine zeit zu reisen
No time to travel
Alles zu riskant
Everything's too risky
Glück ist eine gedeckter Check
Luck is a covered check
Merkst du dich?
Do you notice yourself?
Merkst du dich? Hast du heute schon gelacht?
Do you notice yourself? Have you laughed today?
Merkst du dich? Haben deine Hände was vollbracht?
Do you notice yourself? Have your hands accomplished anything?
Merkst du dich? Hörst du noch bei dem Krach?
Do you notice yourself? Can you still hear in the noise?
Merkst du dich? Merkst du was?
Do you notice yourself? Do you notice anything?
Die Natur schenkt uns die schönsten Melodien und ich hör' sie kaum
Nature gives us the most beautiful melodies and I barely hear them
Ich kann wohl nur noch über Politiker und Perverse staunen
I can probably only still be amazed by politicians and perverts
Hab' lang nicht mehr die Luft geschmeckt und aufs Gefühl vertraut
Haven't tasted the air in a long time and trusted my feelings
Luftschlösser zuletzt im siebten Himmel gebaut
Last built castles in the air in seventh heaven
Und all die Träume, sie sind in Rauch aufgegangen
And all the dreams, they've gone up in smoke
Heut' nehm' ich Zäune und Bauchschmerzen gefangen
Today I'm taking fences and stomachaches captive
Ich brauch' Streicheleinheiten, befreit den Geist in mir
I need affection, free the spirit in me
SMS, save my soul, geht es nicht leichter hier?
SMS, save my soul, isn't it easier here?
Merkst du dich? Hast du heute schon gelacht?
Do you notice yourself? Have you laughed today?
Merkst du dich? Haben deine Hände was vollbracht?
Do you notice yourself? Have your hands accomplished anything?
Merkst du dich? Hörst du noch bei dem Krach?
Do you notice yourself? Can you still hear in the noise?
Merkst du dich? Merkst du was?
Do you notice yourself? Do you notice anything?
Schließ' die Augen und erlaub' dir einen Augenblick
Close your eyes and allow yourself a moment
Mit dir allein, scheiß' auf den Rest der Welt, wie Taubendreck
With yourself alone, f*ck the rest of the world, like pigeon sh*t
Ich komm' aus der Deckung, will nicht leben wie Camouflage, cut
I'm coming out of cover, don't want to live like camouflage, cut
Merkst du was? Ich geb' wo ich kann
Do you notice anything? I give where I can
Es hat so viele, die's gebrauchen können, es kommt zurück
There are so many who can use it, it comes back
Und wenn nicht, dann macht es auch Sinn, es kommt zurück
And if not, then it also makes sense, it comes back
Und wenn nicht, dann wär' das auch nicht schlimm
And if not, then that wouldn't be bad either
Ich nehm' meinen Schatz in den Armen
I hold my darling in my arms
Schenk' meiner Mutter Blumen
I give my mother flowers
Ich mach' irgendwas, aber ich mach'
I'll do something, but I'll do it
Glück kommt nach Bemühungen, yeah-eh-eh
Luck comes after effort, yeah-eh-eh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Merkst du dich? Hast du heute schon gelacht?
Do you notice yourself? Have you laughed today?
Merkst du dich? Haben deine Hände was vollbracht?
Do you notice yourself? Have your hands accomplished anything?
Merkst du dich? Hörst du noch bei dem Krach?
Do you notice yourself? Can you still hear in the noise?
Merkst du dich? Merkst du was?
Do you notice yourself? Do you notice anything?
Merkst du dich? Hast du heute schon gelacht?
Do you notice yourself? Have you laughed today?
Merkst du dich? Haben deine Hände was vollbracht?
Do you notice yourself? Have your hands accomplished anything?
Merkst du dich? Hörst du noch bei dem Krach?
Do you notice yourself? Can you still hear in the noise?
Merkst du dich? Merkst du was?
Do you notice yourself? Do you notice anything?

Luftschlösser — castles in the air / pipe dreams
Luftschlösser literally translates to "air castles" but is commonly used to mean "castles in the air" or "pipe dreams." It refers to unrealistic plans or hopes.
In the song, Chima sings, "Luftschlösser zuletzt im siebten Himmel gebaut" (Castles in the air last built in seventh heaven). This phrase beautifully conveys a sense of lost innocence and the fading of grand, perhaps naive, dreams, making it a poignant and memorable word choice.
