lyrics

TRANSLATION
(The translations of my lyrics should the opportunity to understand what it might be about. A lot of my lyrics play with ambiguity of words. I cannot translate that, rhythm and rhyme might not be accurate as well. I hope it still helps you getting an idea of the lyrics. Reading the original might also help.)

I never fell down anywhere
but my knees still shake
a part of me wants to fall
i can see it in my inner eye

i strike another match
and wait till i burn myself
i can see that you are still here
even though they told you better run

nothing remains
whatever happens
if ones rub against each other
everybody/thing loses

now i fell down
that what i wanted

there is no more match left
my fingertips are burnt already
i can see you're not here anymore
cause they told you better run



ORIGINAL(austrian slang):

i bin nu nie wo owegfoin
und trotzdem ziddan meine knia
a teu vo mia wüad owefoin
i siach des büd voa mia

i zünd nu a streichholz aun
und woat bis i mi vabrenn
i siach du bist nu imma do
obwoi s olle gsogd haum renn

es gibt nix des übrig bleibt
egal wos a passiat
waun si ans am aundan reibt
is jeda dea di valiat

i zünd nu a streichholz aun
und woat bis i mi vabrenn
i siach du bist nu imma do
obwoi s olle gsogd haum renn

jezt bin i owegfoin
i hob a owewoin
jezt bin i owegfoin
i hob a owewoin

i hob ka streichhoiz mea
meine finga san e scho vabrennt
i siach du bist jezt nimma do
weu olle gsogt haum renn
