Erinnerungen [English translation]

(Part 1)

Shadows of the night, I’m terribly tired

Memories make sure that I feel ugly

I go crazy and I can’t sleep

I remember back when you were by my side

All the desire, already dead for too long

I have talks with the man in the moon at night

And ask him: will you grant my wish

But for some reason he doesn’t hear me

I sit around here now, alone in my room

And the only thing that stays is the memory

Of a time that never returns

Look in the mirror, oh to hell with this guy

I hate you, it’s time for you to let go

Haven’t you noticed that death grows in your heart?

You’ve got to undergo the transitory state

Your memories threaten to bury you alive

(Hook 2x)

I want out, out of here

And never again say another word about us

Give me wings, I’ll fly away

So long until the memory comes back again

(Part 2)

Shadows of the night, I’m terribly tired

Memories make sure that I feel ugly

Sit there and merely stare into the night

Once again, I’m awake with my memories

The anger inside rises up until my chest

Never would have thought that you have to cry because of me

To tell me I’m sorry isn’t enough

With my memories, I drift further out

You said: every night, when you go to sleep

Do you hear how the wind bears our name

But there’s nothing left of it for us

But the memories are written on your face

You can hate me, call me a name

Maybe we can tolerate our suffering

‘Cause forgiveness is so hard

Nothing would stand between us, if it wasn’t for the world

(Hook 2x)

I want out, out of here

And never again say another word about us

Give me wings, I’ll fly away

So long until the memory comes back again

(Bridge)

I remember back, when you were by my side

Sit there and merely stare into the night

I’m sorry isn’t enough

It’s time for you to let go

Haven’t you noticed death grows in your heart?

(Hook 1x)

I want out, out of here

And never again say another word about us

Give me wings, I’ll fly away

So long until the memory comes back again
