Der Freie Fall - Apeiron, Pt. 1 [English translation]

No one experiences your suffering like you do

No one carries your burden like you do

No one balances it out like you do

No one sees through your eyes into your heart

Like you do

To speak is a daily struggle

Against fear

To go out is more difficult than they believe

It is against fear

But we speak and like magnets we await the reply

Oh, the next shot

Is desired, so forced, dreaded

Where does my hope remain?

Where does my strength remain?

Is that what you want?

Do you still want to watch yourself as you fall?

Oh, tears, hate, and self-pity

All that won't save you anymore

The others, you believe, are steadfast

And are also still healthy

Oh, they only look that way!

They only look that way - they only look that way!

Whoever always lives in the past

Misses the present

Whoever then doesn't also use the present

Misses the future!

To use temporality - to face it:

That is against fear

Time is a gift - to grasp it:

That is against fear

With it and not against it - that is also

Against fear

With your heart, not your head - look at yourself

That is against fear

To spread your wings - to beat them:

That stops the free fall!

To spread your wings - to beat them:

That stops the free fall!
