No matter how I twist my mind
No matter how much time passes here
No matter what I try to fill
No matter what I try to fill
I feel so terribly numb
I don't know what's yours
I even stole a piece
I even stole a piece
It's you
All the tears between us
It's you
All the wishes between us
It's you
I hate you, you dog
I send you back into space
Because I suffocate on your nothingness
I turn the radio up now
But everything I want
It's you
All the tears between us
It's you
I hate you, you dog
It's you
All the tears between us
It's you
All the wishes between us
It's you
I hate you, you dog
It's you
It's you

In the song, the line "Weil ich an deinem Nichts erstick'" (Because I suffocate on your nothingness) uses this powerful word to express a feeling of being overwhelmed and consumed by the emptiness or absence of the other person. It's a vivid metaphor for emotional despair, making it a memorable and impactful word choice.
