Astronaut Lyrics in English Sido , Andreas Bourani
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Astronaut by Sido from German to English.
I take off
Nothing holds me down
Everything pale and gray
Haven't flown for too long
Like an astronaut
We walk around with our mouths full
Our heads are empty
Sitting in the dirt up to our necks
Have holes in our hearts
Drown worries and problems
In a cup full of wine
With a smile of stone
We can't think of anything better
We've already forgotten tomorrow
Who we were yesterday
We've all overeaten and forgotten to pay
Leaving everything behind
For more ashes and dust
We all want things to fit
But we're not paying attention
The voice of reason has long been silenced
We don't hear it anymore
Because sometimes we feel
We don't belong here
There's no going back
Only down and up
One in a hundred million
A small dot above the ground
I take off!
I take off
Nothing holds me down
Everything pale and gray
Haven't flown for too long
Like an astronaut
I see the world from above
The rest fades in the blue
I've lost time and space up here
Like an astronaut
In the darkness of the night
Everything is so peaceful up here
But down there, it's chaotic
We all contribute to it
But buckle under the weight
We hope for God
But missed the miracle
We keep building higher
Until it reaches infinity
Almost 8 billion people
But humanity is missing
From up here, suddenly
Nothing matters anymore
From here, you see no boundaries
And no skin color
All this noise and nothing quiets down
I can't hear you anymore
Slowly, I feel like I belong here
There's no going back
Only down and up
One in a hundred million
A small dot above the ground
I take off
Nothing holds me down
Everything pale and gray
Haven't flown for too long
Like an astronaut
I see the world from above
The rest fades in the blue
I've lost time and space up here
Like an astronaut
Like an astronaut
And at the sight of this beauty
Everything comes back to me
Aren't we actually alive
To love, to exist?
I'd like to stay here forever
But I'm just a blink of an eye
That after 5 billion years
Can't be much more
I take off
Nothing holds me down
Hey
Everything pale and gray
Haven't flown for too long
Like an astronaut
I see the world from above
The rest fades in the blue
I've lost time and space up here
Like an astronaut
Like an astronaut
Like an astronaut
