J'oublie [English translation]

I’m derailed like a train

In the tunnel of dark thoughts

Jump with both feet again

To my memory's black spots

All restrained I go back

To my thinking’s darkest zone

In a gondola that’s wrecked

Crossing Venice on my own

I forget, I don’t respond at all

I forget, fuzzy flashes are weak

And little flakes on cheeks

I’m not conscious anymore

And this is really my goal,

A vaccine for each sore

And all losses in my soul

I‘m called to order – stress,

Blue, rosy words what do they mean?

Desires are a mess,

Memories are very thin

I forget, I don’t respond at all

I forget, fuzzy flashes are weak

And little flakes on cheeks

I forget, I don’t respond at all

I forget, fuzzy flashes are weak

And little flakes on cheeks

Off my feet swept by a gale

Like falling off an airplane

I am lost, I’m derailed

Like a train… like a train

I forget, I don’t respond at all

Not at all

I forget.
