Grauenhaft Verzerrt [English translation]

Chorus:

You’re the answer to everything, my dear.

Without you, everything in my world is gray,

everything is horribly twisted! You’re - ¹

the answer to everything.

The day will come, on which we’ll both understand.

You’re the answer to everything, my dear.

Without you, everything in my world is gray,

everything is horribly twisted! You’re –

the answer to everything.

The day will come, on which we’ll both understand,

you’ll see!

Part 1:

Every time I look in the mirror,

I see my twisted self.

Everything around me is gray,

I don’t recognize myself.

I see an unfamiliar face.

Without you, everything I do is worthless,

all the stress isn’t worth it.

You’re so far away; it’s all coming at me too fast

I only know my love survives in you.

I thank God, ‘cause he sent me an angel.

I close my eyes and then I see your

angel face.

I know you think about me,

I can feel your heartbeat.

I dream about how we walk hand in hand through autumn of our lives; ²

how the leaves fall, everything is bathed in gold.

You look at me and your smile rips the clouds

apart.

I put my arm around you, perhaps it sounds strange,

it seems to me as if someone is stopping the world now.

Why I can’t get you out of my head,

I don’t know.

You bring me back into balance every day.

Chorus:

You’re the answer to everything, my dear.

Without you, everything in my world is gray,

everything is horribly twisted! You’re -

the answer to everything.

The day will come, on which we’ll both understand.

You’re the answer to everything, my dear.

Without you, everything in my world is gray,

everything is horribly twisted! You’re –

the answer to everything.

The day will come, on which we’ll both understand,

you’ll see!

Part 2:

Without you, there’s nothing more

that keeps me here, my dear.

I can’t see the colors anymore,

the whole world is fading.

Every tear that I cry strengthens me,

It’s worth it to live for every tear that I cry!

You’re the answer to everything; everything’s okay.

I promised you that I’ll watch over you when you sleep.

If everything ceases to exist, everything rips to pieces,

I can be sure you’ll watch my back. ³

There’s no one who’ll catch me, except you,

so please, reach your arm out to me and take hold. ⁴

You and me, no matter what happens,

no matter where I go, every road leads to you.

I’ve done everything and tried everything

in order to forget, but the answer remains you.

Why I always think of you, I’ll never understand,

up until the day when the two of us meet again.

Chorus:

You’re the answer to everything, my dear.

Without you, everything in my world is gray,

everything is horribly twisted! You’re -

the answer to everything.

The day will come, on which we’ll both understand.

You’re the answer to everything, my dear.

Without you, everything in my world is gray,

everything is horribly twisted! You’re –

the answer to everything.

The day will come, on which we’ll both understand,

you’ll see!
