1000 Fragen Lyrics in English Silbermond

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song 1000 Fragen by Silbermond from German to English.
Am I strong
Am I weak
Am I brave
Am I free
You give me nothing I can believe in
Am I yours, are you mine
Do you feel it too
Our time is slowly running out
Tell me where we stand
Was it all just show
Let me into our world that would otherwise fall apart
Whatever I do
You close your eyes
A thousand questions spin only around you
What should I do, my angel, when will you see me
I look at you, ’cause no matter what I do
You close your eyes
You close your eyes
Can't you see
This sea above us
I'm scared
And we're drifting with no land in sight
I've tried
To understand your gaze
If only I could see through your eyes
Tell me how we go on
Where should we go
All land is betrayed and burned
No matter what I do
You close your eyes
A thousand questions spin only around you
What should I do, my angel, when will you see me
I look at you, ’cause no matter what I do
You close your eyes, you close your eyes
A thousand questions spin only around you
Stranded a thousand times without you
A thousand roads with no goal
Yet you never arrive
Because whatever I do
You close your eyes
A thousand questions spin only around you
What should I do, my angel, when will you see me
I beg you, ’cause no matter what I do
You close your eyes, you close your eyes

SONG MEANING

Ever stared at someone you love and felt like they were looking right through you?1000 Fragen” turns that aching moment into a haunting pop-rock confession. The narrator fires off question after question — Bin ich stark? Bin ich schwach? — trying to pin down who she is and where the relationship stands, yet her partner “macht die Augen zu,” keeps their eyes shut. It is a snapshot of emotional limbo, where courage and fear, freedom and dependence, all blur together.

As the song drifts between pounding verses and soaring choruses, images of drifting at sea, burnt-out landscapes, and endless roads capture the feeling of searching for solid ground that never appears. The repeated plea Wann siehst du mich? reveals both desperation and determination: the singer refuses to give up, even while admitting that time is running out. “1000 Fragen” is ultimately a powerful reminder that unanswered questions can be louder than any spoken words — and that sometimes the real struggle is getting someone simply to open their eyes.
