Selbstbetrug [English translation]

You believe you understand life,

Know exactly what lies ahead,

Believe, you follow a straight path,

Nothing stands in your way

And you believe, you have control,

Know the rules and the game,

Know what your world revolves around,

Yes, you think you have a purpose.

But in the dark hours of the night

you see your triumphal procession

That is self-deception, all self-deception.

You are a god of spinning and distorting,

On and on, you never get enough,

Taste the bitter taste of your lies,

Because you've already guess, it is self-deception!

And then you'll feel that you cannot win,

Because life flies by,

You see your dreams melt away,

Finally you know: it is self-deception!

You believe the future awaits

and the fables end well,

Fortune is expected, love warms you

Eternally with flame and embers

And whatever happens to you,

a door always opens,

You think you will always be protected,

Things are always looking up.

But in the dark hours of the night

you see your triumphal procession

That is self-deception, self-deception, watch out!

You are a god of spinning and distorting,

On and on, you never get enough,

Taste the bitter taste of your lies,

Because you've already guess, it is self-deception!

And then you'll feel that you cannot win,

Because life flies by,

You see your dreams melt away,

Finally you know: it is self-deception!

But in the dark hours of the night

you see your triumphal procession

That is self-deception, self-deception, self-deception

(Watch out!)

(Watch out!)

(Watch out!)

(Watch out!)

You are a god of spinning and distorting,

On and on, you never get enough,

Taste the bitter taste of your lies,

Because you've already guess, it is self-deception!

And then you'll feel that you cannot win,

Because life flies by,

You see your dreams melt away,

Finally you know: it is self-deception!

You are a god of spinning and distorting,

On and on, you never get enough,

Taste the bitter taste of your lies,

Because you've already guess, it is self-deception!

And then you'll feel that you cannot win,

Because life flies by,

You see your dreams melt away,

Finally you know: it is self-deception!
