Slapeloze nachten [English translation]

[Chorus]

I lie awake in bed

With my mind full of thoughts

The clock is ticking time away slowly

Sleepless nights

And the sun is slowly rising

My eyes already closed

Thinking about how I'll be

Away from my dreams when I'm asleep

But I'm having sleepless nights

[Verse 1]

Staring into the darkness

With an endless dream

No reason to close my eyes anymore

For I can find my future in my phantasies

And daydreams and I can see them

Boundless and full of possibilities it seems

Like living a life in anarchy

I've seen them, everything can change into gold, so I'd rather do it soon

My philosophy is to roll up my sleeves

But I don't see myself as one

To do something and I have to go outside clenching my jaw

So I'm awake, dreaming all night

A healthy thrill about what's coming

Tomorrow we'll rise happily again

I see the sun rising

[Chorus]

I lie awake in bed

With my mind full of thoughts

The clock is ticking time away slowly

Sleepless nights

And the sun is slowly rising

My eyes already closed

Thinking about how I'll be

Away from my dreams when I'm asleep

But I'm having sleepless nights

[Verse 2]

Yeah and I want [to go] back to the future

The floor burned the place in front of me

I'm driving at night and the city's snoring already

Stern faces in a city full of villains

I'm on my own and my vision is clear

Sweating in bed and I'd rather go outside

My mind has created a masterplan

And I'm dancing with the devil, shows how deep I'm into it

Eyes are following me as if I'm in a movie

Fingers itchy as soon as I take a break

Ready for action and those adrenaline kicks

Addictive, like I'm on heroin

The clock is ticking time away slowly

Time to sleep

And yet I keep going, 'cause the sun is rising

Chased by my future

Craving for tomorrow and that's why

[Chorus]

I lie awake in bed

With my mind full of thoughts

The clock is ticking time away slowly

Sleepless nights

And the sun is slowly rising

My eyes already closed

Thinking about how I'll be

Away from my dreams when I'm asleep

But I'm having sleepless nights

[Bridge]

Sleepless nights

Lie alone in bed

Only thinking about tomorrow

My thoughts are driving me crazy

My brain is living in the future

My body in the present

Staring at the skies

So that dreams stay close

The sun is rising

The stars in the sky are our stage set

Planning ahead for tomorrow, still pretending

About what I can become, what I can become

The sun is rising

The stars in the sky are our stage set

Planning ahead for tomorrow, still pretending

About what I can become, what I can become

[Chorus]

I lie awake in bed

With my mind full of thoughts

The clock is ticking time away slowly

Sleepless nights

And the sun is slowly rising

My eyes already closed

Thinking about how I'll be

Away from my dreams when I'm asleep

But I'm having sleepless nights
