Der Horizont [English translation]

I'm driving on alleys that don't bring me any farther than their end

At the edge of the street I see people wringing their hands

But I need no friend, no passenger

About thoughts that startle and fly shyly

In the branches of trees crossing themselves

Names way too young are forming guards of honour

I have tried to project my future far away

To envision an end

But I couldn't do it, I couldn't do it

Chorus:

Because the horizon is just a line in the landscape

No end, no aim

No silver line, no fingering around

Only a line in the lanscape

Not much more

No shimmering of hope, no glittering of hope

Only a new day

Breaking through the clouds

A new day

That doesn't hold what it doesn't promise

Behind us are shadows we threw unerringly

The past we sharpen our views upon

My view is sharp and defenseless like no other

Out there I see the lines blurring in the middle of the street

They're following each other in order to be alike

I don't know how much longer and even less how to go on

I have tried to project a vanishing point far away

To improvise a flight to get there

But I couldn't do it, I couldn't do it

Chorus:

Because the horizon is just a line in the landscape

No end, no aim

No silver line, no fingering around

Only a line in the lanscape

Not much more

No shimmering of hope, no glittering of hope

A last take of breath running through my hands without coming to an end

Under tears the sharpened view blurrs to make us blind of tears

And our eternity is just a flinching of the lid, we don't have eternal time

We have tried to fold the clockface

To split the hair on the ray of time

And we couldn't do it

We couldn't, we couldn't do it

Chorus:

Because the horizon is just a line in the landscape

No end, no aim

No silver line, no fingering around

Only a line in the lanscape

Not much more

No shimmering of hope, no glittering of hope

Only a new day

Breaking through the clouds

A new day

That doesn't hold what it didn't promise

A new day, a new day

Frightened of itself
