Geile Zeit [English translation]

Did you think, did you hope

things would get better?

Did you cry, did you beg

because they never did?

Where is the tide, where is the sea?

Something is missing here.

You turn to ask me is it gone,

has it disappeared?

The days and nights did come and go -

spinning and changing.

Did you miss the broken shards

that lined your path ahead?

Where is the light, where is your star?

Something is missing here.

You turn to ask me is it gone,

has it disappeared?

Never the same again!

Yes I know

we had the perfect life.

It didn't go too far

You're who's missing now

Yes I know

we had the perfect life

and it hurts to say

it's over now.

You want out, want to go back

and start over again.

You stop and close your eyes and breathe,

but not a thing has changed.

Where is that night, where's the way back,

how far ahead?

How far ahead is it

to get back to our past?

The light has burnt out -

hard to comprehend.

And you watch helplessly

as the clock still turns.

Then you see your star -

no one can touch it now.

Because at least for a while,

we had the perfect life.
