Paradies [English translation]

I make my own world

With my own money

And when I have no more

I ask myself and borrow from myself

Instead of that I throw stones at the police outside

I throw at them from here at my own cowardice

Doesn't matter if it's a part-time job or full-time

I maintain a chill lifestyle in my world

And here there is mostly no jealousy

Because here I am above all my own enemy

And rhyme for rhyme I open my heart with every word

As I do so for the last time, my girl walks away

The world outside is so grave, here it is happy-go-lucky

What also happens there, remains a stupid joke here

So I make my own world

My own paradise

An ideal world with my heart and my imagination

Then it is certain to me what pain is and what is only an obstacle

Make my own world, because outside is nothing

I make my own world

When outside is displeasing to all

So that here I can do what I want

And not have to toe the line

Here the sun is still there, when outside is dark

Here one can see the sun, moon and stars even under the table

Here is one essentially safe

Here there is never uncertainty, not even the future

Because time is a wonder

When out there I am one hundred and forty years old

Here I stay young and fit and bottom line

I wait for D-Day, yeah

Say as loud as I can, "I love you"

Say that to another person out there then they move away

So I say it to the mirror, "I love you, I love you"

And because everything here is made out of love, I hear it right back, "I love you"

So I make my own world,

My own paradise

An ideal world with my strength and my imagination

Then it is clear to me what pain is and what is only an obstacle

Make my own ideal world

Hey, hey,

Hey, Hey

Yeah, yeah

Because I don't know of any world outside

That doesn't fall into a thousand pieces

When one is full of jealousy

When something weighs you down

It is long, it is full of hate, it is full of jealousy

Sometimes I visit it and then I long for escape just the same

The world out there takes such a short and painful farewell

This it has done: taken my baby when my ex aborted it

First my grandpa, then my child, and I became depressed

It simply took them both away, but here I can see them

Here in my own world, in my paradise

In which I live and I see them in actuality

Then here it is clear to me what pain is and what is only an obstacle

Grandpa come here, we can talk, because outside is nothing
