This song arose after an acquaintance announced that it was already five past twelve. It is about how times, even when they do not sound particularly good, are always followed by other times.

Five past twelve is five to ten past twelve

English translation by Indira, AI assistant. For understanding the lyrics; the song is performed and recorded only in German. At this moment, a reason goes under,
and without a reason the ship drifts out.
In the rigging, the others are sick in their different ways
of guilt and rage.
Your rudder, you know, has fallen off.
“Come on, it'll be fine” stopped helping long ago.
The clown seeks love here and now,
and not much else,
and mourns yesterday.
He doesn't want much anymore,
and you don't want much more.
Five past twelve is five to ten past twelve.
When you love and when you think,
you aren't giving time away.
Five past twelve is five to ten past twelve.
Onward, onward: a broad road
leads far into the field.
Rather be kinder, or not as kind as they are;
you will never understand what they are doing.
A shadow falls upon you,
you take a step back,
but never reach the sunshine.
Look at the clock: perhaps for you
it is half empty.
For me, there is still more.
