Kopfkino [English translation]

Every mistake brings us a new goal

Every moment is a part of you

Every mistake brings me to a new destination

And every moment is a part of me

And how everything began, no one knows any more

And foresight is easier than hindsight1

As though torn from myself I stand here alone

And nothing, absolutely nothing can get me back to you

I wish I were the perfect husband

I wish I'd have done everything and nothing for you

I wish I could see myself in your mind

In your mind, mind's eye

Every mistake brings us a new goal

Every moment is a part of you

Every mistake is a part of you

And every moment is a new goal

And how everything began, no one knows any more

And foresight is easier than hindsight1

As though torn from myself I stand here alone

And nothing, absolutely nothing can get me back to you

I wish I were the perfect husband

I wish I'd have done everything and nothing for you

I wish I could see myself in your mind

In your mind, mind's eye

The morning carried everything away

You pushed me out of your mind

Mind's eye, mind's eye

You say the morning carried everything away

You pushed me out of your mind

Mind's eye, mind's eye

The morning carried everything away

You pushed me out of your mind

Mind's eye, mind's eye

The morning carried everything away

You pushed me out of your mind

Mind's eye, mind's eye

Will it always be so or must it be so?

What is that?

And why is it like this and why doesn't that happen?

Is that really everything that's possible?

It is me?

Is it him?

Is it her?

You say the morning carried everything away

You pushed me out of your mind

Mind's eye, mind's eye

You say the morning carried everything away

You pushed me out of your mind

Mind's eye, mind's eye

The morning carried everything away

You pushed me out of your mind

Mind's eye, mind's eye

The morning carried everything away

You pushed me out of your mind

Mind's eye, mind's eye

1. a. b. This is literally "And at your cleverest you're still behind" or so; it's an inversion of the idiom "Hinterher ist man immer klüger", "Hindsight is easier than foresight".
