Kurz vor der Sonne [English translation]

You see the days, see the hours

Passing you by.

And eventually you close your eyes

It seems like it can't affect you anymore

Everything that meant so much to you

Is now ruined, it's destroyed

Now all you want is just get out of here

There's nothing left to hold you back.

And you get started - through atmosphere, space and time

Stumbling over stars and planets,

And happiness is no longer far (from you)

But right before the sun

Doubts reach you

You stop for a moment and look behind you,

But your world is tiny little.

Right before the sun,

Darkness returns

And you realise that one would be pretty lonely out here.

You can almost reach for it,

And out of your orbit

It's pulling you towards the earth,

Which can only be changed there.

Everything that meant so much to you

Well, it's never been what you actually care about

Don't transfer everything we've been searching for

Into our pain, understand.

And you get started -

Through atmosphere, space and time

Stumbling over stars and planets,

And happiness is no longer far (from you)

But right before the sun

Doubts reach you

You stop for a moment

And look behind you,

But your world is tiny little.

Right before the sun,

Darkness returns

And you realise that one would be

Pretty lonely out here.
