Fallschirm [English translation]
Fallschirm [English translation]
A possible failure, that shudders and sweats
Threatens at school in the exam stress
Fear makes your trousers bottomless
Conscience and stage fright - God and war and this up and down
Your whole life is shot through with the fear of fear.
I'm so fed up, fed up of standing there like a coward
I trust myself, don't trust myself to turn back at the edge
I trust myself, don't trust myself
But do it anyway
I jump, I fly, what's the big deal
I fly, I fall, I don't want to be a coward
God, don't let me be a coward
Overcoming a fixed border, adrenalin cooks blood into courage
Nothing is certain, just the rush
It would be so damned foolhardy, yes almost sublime and considered
You stand far out from a little human existence.
Because it's so hard, so hard to stand by like a coward
I trust myself, don't trust myself to turn back at the edge
I trust myself, don't trust myself
Oh, but do it anyway
Yes I jump, I fly, what's the big deal
I fly, I fall, I don't want to be a coward
God, don't let me be a coward
But what will happen to me if the parachute doesn't open
Then my free fall is a hopeless, lifeless end
God, let me be a coward,
I'll stay in bed, go back to sleep.
I'm just dreaming, I'm flying, thoughts are safe and free
I'm just dreaming, I'm falling and my landing is soft
My landing is soft
I jump, I fall, a beautiful dream
I fly, I fall with a parachute, quite comfortable
Dreamily safe and comfortable
A beautiful dream
With a parachute, quite comfortable
Dreamy, safe, comfortable
