Vermessung des Glücks [English translation]

How heavy is happiness? How wide is a dream?

How much is satisfaction?

Postpone your life into the future

One day you're gonna be ready

So far removed from your dreams

You'll have missed your life

And no if's and when's

Will save you from stories you've never been part of

Tell me how to measure happiness1

Where your time has gone

Tell me what you've been missing

Tell stories you've never been part of

You're stoked about other people's dreams

As long as somebody else is living them

Forgetting that every beginning is moving towards its end

And when you face death

Your last dream faded

You think about the things you've missed

Stories you've never been part of

Tell me how to measure happiness

Where your time has gone

Tell me what you've been missing

Tell stories you've never been part of

Tackling things head on in rabid haste

Stories you've never been part of

Tackling things head on in rabid haste

Stories you've never been part of

Never been part of

Never been part of

1. Can also be understood as a pun with "Tell me how to miss out on happiness".
