Mein Mikrofon [English translation]

No clock, just the ticking in my ear

that loses the beat

I believe the time isn't clear* (2x)

You say: record music, your time is up

When it speaks, it crumbles your opinion around

You say I should set my teeth

don't fall apart, but make myself complete

I should calm down, back down

This night, go to bed alone

before throwing, weigh ever single stone

You say I shouldn't moan

I say: no one takes away my microphone

I'll go up paint the sky white

You say: let it be, tell me, must this be?

oho

I'll go up and shine a shimmering light

You say: let it be, tell me, must this be?

Oho

I stay only true to my dreams at night

You say: let it be, tell me, must this be?

You say the tone makes the music and I don't set the tone

But: no one takes away my microphone

You say: you don't climb into high trees

The air is thin and cold

And you could lose your hold

You say: you don't climb into high trees

But, then my dreams will freeze

Spit or swallow it

is like

fight back or crack*

You're sitting there like three monkeys

not at all

speaking

hearing

looking

You write the same syllable

over and over again, so I see

it says: yes yes yes

but NO, not with me

to pray and calm down rather means to decay

I don't want to entrench

I want to dance on the walls

You say, I should keep my voice at the tone

I say: no one takes away my microphone

Chorus

No clock, just the ticking in my ear

that loses the beat

I believe the time isn't clear (2x)

One day, one hit

and everything will be different

I'll go up paint the sky white

I'll go up and shine a shimmering light

Chorus
