There is the crowd all around, winding out of breath.
Stepping faster on the pavement, hurried steps on the side.
There is the city, vertical lines piling up in a capital.
I define my life in its wake, even taxis are out of time.
I had an appointment, but, I had an appointment, but,
I had an appointment - Tell me, what is it we are chasing?
I had an appointment, but, I had an appointment, but,
I had an appointment - Tell me, what is it we are chasing?
There are trains in the fog, no certainty in people's eyes
Just trajectories in the daily strife, would we come back if we got lost?
There is this ever faster race where all limits are wiped out.
Running pointlessly, but as it's done1, to think we're so alive.
I had an appointment, but, I had an appointment, but,
I had an appointment - Tell me, what is it we are chasing?
I had an appointment, but, I had an appointment, but,
I had an appointment - Tell me, what is it we are chasing?
There are days when we get bored, and nights when we don't care
There are billions of ants that would rather not be forsaken.
There are days when we get bored, and nights when we don't care
