Insomnia (Uprising)
English translation by Indira, AI assistant. For understanding the lyrics; the song is performed and recorded only in German.
Still so tired, and tomorrow still a whole night away,
what there is has gone stale, nothing left to learn.
Do not dream far ahead, so today can stay another hour.
You have time. Forget that little bit of tiredness.
Always awake. Following the others who are still up.
Make more noise. Surely a sharp wind is blowing now.
Buckets of substitutes for caffeine tablets,
and you forget sleep.
Only action, only action.
They wanted action and they got action.
They want more and more, and now they get what they deserve.
UPRISING — now off to bed!
UPRISING — nothing more gets done here today!
UPRISING — awake for a hundred years already,
now it is over: you must, he must... she must... like hell.
Nothing whose time has come, and what drives you is utterly lost;
what remains is sometimes beautiful, but you are too wasted.
The alarm screams, opening your eyes takes miles,
not ready; it hammers endlessly: time, time, time.
Awake again, the regions around your eyes grow darker;
what stung you was the tick-tock that broke through the night.
The tactic is set: just do not hit the pavement head first;
how to do it came to you in a daydream.
Only fun, only fun.
They wanted fun and they got fun.
They want more and more, and now they get what they deserve.
UPRISING — you are going to bed!
UPRISING — you are doing nothing else today!
UPRISING — you have been awake for a hundred years,
now it is over: you must, he must... she must... like hell.
