In Balance [English translation]

I'll admit that I like extremes

When you go too far, when I don't have time

I'm running on little sleep at the moment

Brew me a coffee so I can perk up

And then the handstand, turned over, headfirst

In front of me, a tightrope with no net, but I'm standing above it

With a somersault forward, tilting, I catch myself again

And I stay in balance

Sometimes, I'm much too awake, sometimes, much to tired

Now and again, I dive down, sometimes, I go flying

At times, a bit under, at times, a bit over

But always in balance

My feelings are a balancing act

They swing back and forth

But between tiredness and euphoria

I don't want to stand still, I'd rather go too fast

And then the handstand, turned over, headfirst

In front of me, a tightrope with no net, but I'm standing above it

With a somersault forward, tilting, I catch myself again

And I stay in balance

Sometimes, I'm much too awake, sometimes, much to tired

Now and again, I dive down, sometimes, I go flying

At times, a bit under, at times, a bit over

But always in balance

Then the handstand, turned over, headfirst

And I stay in balance

Sometimes, I'm much too awake, sometimes, much to tired

Now and again, I dive down, sometimes, I go flying

At times, a bit under, at times, a bit over

But always in balance

Sometimes, I'm much too awake, sometimes, much to tired

Now and again, I dive down, sometimes, I go flying

At times, a bit under, at times, a bit over

But always in balance
