I am a captive of myself, my spirit is desperate to leave
But my body is bound to this system (*)
This here is not my life
This is not my planet
I see you run, scream and flee from yourselves.
But I won't wait until tomorrow
The flood has stopped to come a long time ago
And so I draw the consequences
For there is nothing that will make me stay
I am not of this world
I want to return to my planet
For up there the new world is so close
I am not of this world
I want to return to my planet
And we could long be there if we wanted to
Come and fly away with me!
I am standing on the threshold to a new world
And look back one more time
You say you love only me?
But I've never seen you!
I wash my hands in innocence
I didn't do it (**)
Whatever you think or do
I'm close to vomiting (***)
Now I'm standing above all things
I start anew
And so I look back and see
How you are destroying yourselves now
Something is not right here any more!
I am not of this world
I want to return to my planet
For up there the new world is so close
I am not of this world
I want to return to my planet
And we could long be there if we wanted to
I am not of this world
I want to return to my planet
For up there the new world is so close
I am not of this world
I want to return to my planet
And we could long be there if we wanted to
But when will we finally be able to take off?
I am not of this world
I want to return to my planet
For up there the new world is so close
I am not of this world
I want to return to my planet
And we could long be there if we wanted to
