Hinter klugen Sätzen [English translation]

I hide behind witty phrases

draw conclusions

that don't exist

I stand up friends who love me

who think of me

even when no one can reach me.

And I'm no good at finishing things

and I want to waste time

but don't know on what yet

And I have this endless longing

longing for the unfamiliar

because I've become a stranger to myself

I hide behind witty phrases

conclusions that don't exist

I hide behind witty phrases

draw conclusions that don't exist

And I don't notice how I like to bet

and always wager everything

because I want to lose

And I know I should quiet down

if only I knew

how to learn to be silent

Sadly I visit the seaside so rarely

though I miss it dearly

because everything feels different at the beach

And I have this endless longing

longing for the unfamiliar

because I've become a stranger to myself

I hide behind witty phrases

conclusions that don't exist

I hide behind witty phrases

draw conclusions that don't exist

I deceive myself in my own way

preferably loud than quiet

so that something within me will change

I am afraid to love, constantly in doubt

failure at the back of my mind

because everything dies eventually

because everything dies eventually
