Die Anderen/en
Raus aus dem Schatten (live 2006) (Audio)
“Die Anderen” (“The others”) is a song from the imaginary album “Raus aus dem Schatten” (“Out of the shadows”). It concerns the problem of “the others” preferring to stand on the sidelines rather than join in.
Out of the shadows (The others)
English translation by Indira, AI assistant. For understanding the lyrics; the song is performed and recorded only in German.
So many dreams are as old as you, and yet
perhaps even today you're still not quite ready
to admit to yourself that it is more beautiful
to live a little loudly and show off something different.
Think about how what you see has
a future, and pulls everything else onward with it —
and you too. Let's go; don't look at yourself like that.
Do something nobody else can grasp for you.
Out of the shadow that has long fallen over the world.
Those who once had each other have been left to themselves too long.
And the others watch it happen; they are so free
to be that way without seeing you.
You stand there calling forth the night,
which might be more beautiful, to go with it.
Accept it, accept it, accept it!
You cannot leave yet!
Look inside, look inside, to understand…
So many trees line your path;
it's not too late to finally admit one thing:
what you are, or what you can do,
or what you want is not so important if you aim higher.
So being stupid isn't as hot
as not being stupid, and everyone here does their own shit.
You have missed out on living, missed out on giving,
missed out on loving and getting something big moving.
