Schatten [English translation]

In the street in front of my house there are still traces of the donuts

in your favourite coat you felt like Humphrey Bogart

you screwed up, you dived, you were a submarine for a month

we once listened to Group Home in the Loop dead in Verona

we made plans that were huge

we lived in the night, we were clinically dead during the day

we repeated that, it was too much for me at some point

you are still at the party, you never left

you are still drinking for three without paying a cent

your phone number is dead, probably your cell phone is broken again

new doors appeared, just because you saw them

and you already had the keys for them

or you knew the bouncer, and brought uns in

you saw the may and finally the yes behind the no

we came as a nobody, we were never on the list

we went as VIPS and left history

When I'm standing in our street, I feel you

Even your end was just a new door for you

i thank you for the hours we had

you burned at night, during the day you were a shadow

When I'm standing in our street, I feel you

Even your end was just a new door for you

i thank you for the hours we had

you burned at night, during the day you were a shadow

I still live in this city with all of our places

your name is everywhere, how could I forget you?

i'm in the open-late store on an evening for booze

I see you running around the corner - just missed you

i'm running after you, but your ten steps ahead of me

and i give up under an indifferent moon

your life was a firework with flowers made of light

passing too quickly, but incredibly bright

everyone who knew you, still has a piece of you

sometimes we meet, otherwise we would become insane

everyone brings their puzzle piece and we put them togteher

then it's like you're just next door for a moment

you are not the first of friends who left

i look into the red light, that shine in the wind

and I pray that the pulse of us is still beating

when a new light comes over us tomorrow

When I'm standing in our street, I feel you

Even your end was just a new door for you

i thank you for the hours we had

you burned at night, during the day you were a shadow

When I'm standing in our street, I feel you

Even your end was just a new door for you

i thank you for the hours we had

you burned at night, during the day you were a shadow

There are about a thousand people at the cemetry

and you meant something to each of them

everybody here would say that you were different from others

always 200 per cent, as long as you were known

i keep the last one of your cigaretts

our old chat history is still on my phone

we'll talk the next time, i have to tell you so muss

I can't wait to see you again, soon.
