Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Astronaut by Sido from German to English.

Can't be much more

I'm taking off

Nothing holds me down

Everything pale and gray

Like an astronaut

We're walking around fed up, our heads are empty

Sitting in the dirt up to our necks, with holes in our hearts

Drowning our worries and problems in a cup of wine

With a smile of stone, we can't think of anything better

We'll have forgotten who we were yesterday by tomorrow

We've all stuffed ourselves and forgotten to pay

Leaving everything behind for more ashes and dust

We all want it to work out, but we're not paying attention

The voice of reason has long since fallen silent, we don't hear it anymore

Because sometimes we feel like we don't belong here

There's no going forward and no going back anymore, only up and down

One in a hundred million, a tiny dot above the ground, I'm taking off

Can't be much more

I'm taking off

Nothing holds me down

Everything pale and gray

Like an astronaut

I see the world from above

The rest fades into gray

Like an astronaut

In the darkness of the night

Up here everything is so peaceful, but down there things are crazy

We all contribute to it, but break under the weight

We hope in God, but have missed the miracle

We keep building higher, until it goes to infinity

Almost eight billion people, but humanity is missing

From up here, none of it suddenly matters anymore

From here you can't see borders or the color of skin

All this noise about nothing falls silent, I can't hear you anymore

Slowly I get the feeling I belong here

There's no going forward and no going back anymore, only up and down

One in a hundred million, a tiny dot above the ground

Can't be much more

I'm taking off

Nothing holds me down

Everything pale and gray

Like an astronaut

I see the world from above

The rest fades into gray

Like an astronaut

And at the sight of this beauty

It all comes flooding back

Aren't we really alive

To love, to be?

I'd love to stay here forever

I'd like to stay here forever

But I'm just a blink of an eye

That after five billion years

Can't be much more

I'm taking off

Nothing holds me down

Everything pale and gray

Like an astronaut

I see the world from above

The rest fades into gray

Like an astronaut
