Irgendwas [English translation]

Something that stays, something that lasts,

something showing that we are on the right track

Untill we find something, that feels good,

that is worth sharing,I would like to feel something like that.

(We)* search everywhere, apparently (we) find nothing

that keeps us grounded, that promises us those things.

What we really want, what we really look for,

(We) never get enough, because we always want more,

(We) are able to explain, why the earth is turning,

(We) explore space, one planet isn`t enough for us,

(We) raise monuments, would like to be young for ever,

(We) collect photos, but we can`t remember

(We) are making money by taking ourselves for fools,

Every year we invent something new the world doesn`t need, because there is always room for a little bit more,

even if nobody explains the meaning anymore.

(We) are in search of something

(We) are in search of something more

(We) are in search of something

though nobody can explain what it is.

The only important thing: a little bit more.

Somebody, who stays, somebody who shows,

that he apparently knows, who we really are,

When we find him finally, we can`t stay,

(We) don`t want to commit ourselves to something because

then we could miss out something that happens somewhere

something we miss otherwise, because it isn`t ours,

(We) leave foot steps like on fresh tarmac

the next generation isn`t able to keep up,

still higher, we still have to go onwards

We still get faster,

because slowly time is running out.

We need more, more, we don`t know, who

we actualy are, (we) are losing the veneration

for so many things, we unlearned

how to share something, although we all arose from that trait. There`s always room for a little bit more,

even if nobody explains the meaning anymore.

(We) are in search of something

(We) are in search of something more

(We) are in search of something

though nobody can explain what it is.

main thing is, a little bit more.
