Gegen kann jeder/en
Gegen kann jeder (2008) (Audio)
This song is dedicated to a feeling against merely being against things: opposition cannot be the end of the matter. It is an important part of the album 68.
Counter-move
English translation by Indira, AI assistant. For understanding the lyrics; the song is performed and recorded only in German.
If you have trust, let yourself fall,
accept that they fell you.
They disappear just as they came out of nowhere.
The house, the world, before which you triumph
or lie dead below,
because everyone sees the winner of the long-distance heart throw.
Are you ready to endure the eternity
that approaches you during the time
when you don't want to win?
Do you hate the suffering already approaching
because someone leaves? The new deed
is against everything opposed to it, visible and felt in the wind too.
Anyone can be against things; the opposing train is always full.
Anyone can be against things — what is the point, again and again?
Anyone can be against things; oncoming traffic backs up.
Anyone can be against things; meanwhile, being for something is crazy.
In the second case lies all the war,
and without war there is no victory,
and without a victor there is no victim anymore either.
Do you remember when the rain fell
and nobody was there who would have ended
the game because nobody liked it?
It is so easy simply to cancel,
to bring charges against something,
to hit it and watch what happens.
There is a word for being for it.
The animal sits in the trench,
dug in for battle and for holding out against.
