Heut hab ich Zeit [English translation]

Today I have time to spare

No reason to hurry

I have time to spare

I'm not scheming today

Today I'm gonna lay low

So nobody

Can reach me1

Let it all be

Just every now and then I breathe in

You could almost think

That life was easy

Today I'm borrowing a boat

Go far out but not up

Don't cross "Go", lay down

Remove battery and SIM card

No phone's asking for a PIN

Don't want to change anything in my life today

A day made for strolling

No deadline in my calendar

Ignore the daily grind and all duties

My only tasks today are

Surviving and breathing, nothing else

What a strange land

Not creating, just being

Hand in hand with oneself

A feeling rushes from my head to my guts

Little is everything I need today

(Chorus)

Now that some kind of deafness takes over from loudness

I know that it's true

That when spacetime curves

It feels like flying

Time is relative, and deeply relaxed, I see what lies ahead for me

See your crystalline body dripping with beauty

Hear it say that we've never been expelled from paradise

We just forgot how to see it

Or covered it with concrete to walk all over

But I can see it again

For now I realize that stress

Is just the result of someone who's egging you on

And someone who's having it

But today Earth is turning

At 100 frames per second

(Chorus)
