Setting out (Can this really be all there is?)
English translation by Indira, AI assistant. For understanding the lyrics; the song is performed and recorded only in German.
Even in the morning it has to be so blatantly humiliating,
the whole universe between work and the toilet makes you small. No buts.
But when the whole world spends all day confronting you as if you liked it,
there is no rail to keep you on track. And with a cold expression you ask, unprompted:
Can this really be all there is?
Can this really be all there is?
No.
Fists strike tables and you no longer feel alone; what is yours is no longer yours.
You want to become big and beautiful and stop standing in the corner; meaning finally wants to mean something, meaningfully.
Your heart pumps, your money shrinks; yesterday you were still counting it, and today you don't give a shit.
Those who want to choose have a choice; those who want to torment have torment; now a thousand cries go round the roundabout.
Can this really be all there is?
Can this really be all there is?
No.
Can this really be all there is?
Can this really be all there is?
Nooooooooooooo!
Can this really be all there is?
Can this really be all there is?
No no no no no no no no no no.
Can this really be all there is?
Can this really be all there is? — No.
