These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Ich hab' oft Angst, nicht zu funktionieren
I'm often afraid of not functioning
Der Erwartung an mich nicht gerecht zu werden
Not living up to the expectations of me
Menschen zu enttäuschen, die mir wichtig sind
To disappoint people who are important to me
Den Kampf gegen die Monster zu verlieren
To lose the fight against the monsters
Die mir sagen: „Du schaffst das nicht'
Who tell me: "You can't do that."
Überall ganz nah bei dir
Everywhere very close to you
Monster sind überall, egal, wo du auch bist
Monsters are everywhere, no matter where you are
Überall ganz nah und lächeln dir ins Gesicht
Everywhere very close and smile in your face
Ich kann euch hören, all ihr Monster
I can hear you, all you monsters
Ihr sagt mir nicht, was richtig für mich ist
You don't tell me what's right for me
Ich kann euch sehen, all ihr Monster
I can see you, all you monsters
Auch wenn ihr lächelt, ich glaub' euch nicht
Even if you smile, I don't believe you
Monster zweifeln und machen dich klein
Monsters doubt and belittle you
Bewerten und beurteilen dich zu jeder Zeit
They rate and judge you at all times
Monster glauben, nur sie haben recht
Monsters believe only they are right
Alles, was sie nicht kennen, reden sie dir schlecht
Everything they don't know, they talk down to you
Nur kluge Sprüche, gespielte Weisheit
Only clever sayings, feigned wisdom
Ewiger Zweifel oder Angst vor der Freiheit
Eternal doubt or fear of freedom
Monster sind überall, egal, wo du auch bist
Monsters are everywhere, no matter where you are
Überall ganz nah und lächeln dir ins Gesicht
Everywhere very close and smile in your face
Ich kann euch hören, all ihr Monster
I can hear you, all you monsters
Ich kann euch sehen, all ihr Monster
I can see you, all you monsters
Ich kann euch hören, all ihr Monster
I can hear you, all you monsters
Ihr sagt mir nicht, was richtig für mich ist
You don't tell me what's right for me
Ich kann euch sehen, all ihr Monster
I can see you, all you monsters
Auch wenn ihr lächelt, ich glaub' euch nicht
Even if you smile, I don't believe you
All ihr Monster
All you monsters
Ich glaub' euch nicht
I don't believe you
All ihr Monster
All you monsters
Ich glaub' euch nicht
I don't believe you
