Keiner, der sie weckt [English translation]

Humour suits her well, its all rehearsed, not one word too much1

So often copied, that she doesn't feel anymore

A lonely game

The facade is well built

But falls in on itself like a house of cards

As soon as she's alone2

And the world seems in order but nothing's perfect

She's hidden the skeletons in the closet simply too well

And she just wants to vomit, but she's keeps a low profile

She's afraid to fall asleep, because there's no-one to wake her

She is well-known here, but there's not one who knows her well

No-one can see her

The old photos are burnt, the last ashes blow in the wind3

She puts up no resistance, she asks herself, she asks herself

Is the facade well built, or does she break down

Like a house of cards as soon as she's alone?

And when she looks in the mirror and doesn't trust her outside anymore

Life rushes past her4

There she shows her true self and finds it hideous5

A soft scream for help

1. literally "no word too much2. literally "if she's alone for a time"3. literally "blow in the country/side"4. literally "life pulls quickly by/past". To me this phrase conjures up the image of standing on a platform as a train rushes by without you. "She just missed her life".5. "wahres Ich" literally "true I"
