Ans Meer [English translation]

I don’t know where my head is

I can’t cope anymore ¹

My eyes have been open too long;

not enough sleep, too much coffee.

I’m not finding myself anymore ²

in my little chaos

‘ Run like a machine ³

putting fires out everywhere ⁴

If everything gets too much,

take me there

Turn my weary sails into the wind

Fill my breath, soften my heart, ⁵

calm me down, take me to the sea

I cannot sleep again

I cannot stop thinking ⁶

my thoughts are in overdrive,

there’s no way out for them ⁷

and today when I woke up,

had the sun in my face

and it drew and drew the chaos out

and released me from duty

If everything gets too much,

take me there

Turn my weary sails into the wind

Fill my breath, cushion my heart

calm me down, take me to the sea

With every step out of here,

a part comes back to me

and with every crystal of salt that falls,⁸

a heavy burden is lifted from me ⁹

If everything gets too much,

take me there

Turn my weary sails into the wind

Fill my breath, cushion my heart

calm me down,

take me to the sea.
