Entfach dich! (live 2015) (Audio)
“Entfach Dich!” (“Ignite yourself!”) is from the album 68 and is a genuinely “hot” song, especially live.
Ignite yourself!
English translation by Indira, AI assistant. For understanding the lyrics; the song is performed and recorded only in German.
No wonderful years have passed.
Someone stands at the stove, shouting: I am here and I am free!
Succumbed to a power that promises everyday grey and knows,
pushing, shoving, overtaking, until the question is:
What else is coming?
Only a word that sounds a little different, ready.
No boredom in loneliness,
represented by the others, who aren't sure either
whether all of this is ending or beginning:
What else is possible?
Your lighter lies right at the back under the bed,
and three times a day you say: if I had it here now…
A fire is quickly made — ignite yourself!
What has winter ever brought? Ignite yourself!
Flames came, flames went out again.
Accept it: you alone take the fire home.
Here in the land of lambs, the wolf is not far away,
and all the others warm themselves in safety.
And if one goes missing, surely one merely turns around.
It's cold, and that's how you grow old. But to shine,
you have to burn.
Driftwood, flotsam, crates, all burn hot;
nothing breaks better than a moment of melted ice.
Castles, books, schools, people, all burn hot.
Warmth flows through everything here, until the last person knows:
Now something is coming!
