Anfassen [English translation]

We know everything, everywhere

But way too less about us

And this bit will be divided then

What was real one time, is cold now

Today artificial, in the past art

Who doesn't notice limits, goes often too far

We have thousands of friends

But have never seen them

Because way too garish the glares the light

We have thousands of dreams

But lose the real life

It decays to dust of zeros and ones

I need something to touch

Then I can let it go again

I don't want to adapt anymore

I want to have my life in my own grip

Because we drown more and more

In this cold sea of lights

When everywhere stands about everything

The moment isn't worth anything

Wrong direction step by step

Until the next wave breaks

No time to draw breath again

We remove ourselves click by click

Of the things, which are actually real

Ey, do we swim with or against the crowd?

We have thousands of dreams

But lose the real life

Yes, we get lost in smog and fog

I need something to touch

Then I can let it go again

I don't want to adapt anymore

I want to have my life in my own grip

Because we drown more and more

In this cold sea of lights

When everywhere stands about everything

The moment isn't worth anything

And how often did we think?

How often did we miss each other

Because our world blinks too loud?

You can hear and see much purer

Feel and understand much better

Come on, let's talk again

And take the heads up again

I need something to touch

Then I can let it go again

I don't want to adapt anymore

I want to have my life in my own grip

Because we drown more and more

In this cold sea of lights

When everywhere stands about everything

The moment isn't worth anything
