about

Featuring sookee

lyrics

Es geht selten um english esperanto und deutsch
It’s rarely about english esperanto or german
Es geht oft darum zu verdrängen und darum zu versäumen
It’s more often about repressing and neglecting
Die barriere im kopf eine karriere verbockt
The barrier in the mind, a career gambled away
Keine euros und dollars auch kein leben für für gott
No euros no dollars neither a life for god
Aber ein klares verständnis wie kann ich dir begegnen
But a clear understanding of how i can i encounter you
Meine konzepte und wünshe inzwishen nicht mehr vernebelt
My concepts and wishes aren’t foggy anymore
Denn ich trau mir vertrauen zu in gesichtern verewigt
Cause i dare to have trust manifested in faces
In teilen im meim eigenen und dazwishen beweglich
Partly in parts and also in my own, still flexible in between
Da sind liebesbegriffe die uns zu tiefe verpflichen
There are terms of love that obligate us to depth
Worte sind sauerstoffflashen wenn uns krisen vergiften
Words are oxygen bottles when we are poisoned by crises
Wir kommunizieren komplexer realitäten entsprechend
We communicate more complex according to realities
Was meinst du mit was meinst du kann mich nicht ewig verstecken
What do you mean by what do you mean, can’t hide forever
Sprache ergänzt durch blicke hände und lächeln
Language complemented by gazes hands and smiles
Wir sind so im moment dass wir das ende vergessen
We are so kept in the moment that we forget about the end
Und den anfang, den standard wenn du magst kannst dus weitersagen
And about the beginning and the standards, you can spread the word if you want to
Parole brückenbau und grenzen zerplatzen wie seifenblasen
Watch word building bridges, barriers burst like soap bubbles

For those who deal with the ridged curiosity's hidden
and the aim is mistaken coded in smokescreens of language
Take the tongue from the tiger feel ashamed when they bite it
but we aim for the opposite, igniting the silence
If we don't name our injustice a generations indicted
if we do speak about it, we’d be far from nearsighted
I wrote this fearing the mirror the one you clearly invited
held up facing the angels plus the demons inside us
I'm only versed in 3 pidgins ebonic country and christian
plus the jargon of forefathers who don't seek forgiveness
Now we burning them bridges amidst the broken and brilliant
watch the barriers burst like bubbles scaling a building
but nothing’s ever that simple 'cept my word and my pencil
in 24 hour diners breaking from making a living yeah
so when I finish the sentence
since we mend distance with sentence
let's never finish this sentence
