lyrics

(Please scroll down for the english translation...)

Morgenrot
in gelben Säcken
die Vögel singen Luft
als Wellen durch die Stadt
die Turmuhr schlägt
durch achtzig Ecken
doch im Dickicht
sinnentleerter Schilderwälder
bildet sie nichts ab

Hier
greift die Rotation
Jetzt
scheint die Welt zu scheinen
-
wird aus Leben Ton
-
und alles klingt davon

Abendgrün
auf violetten Harmonien
die Hügel spülen Duft
als Nebel durch die Stadt
der Mond erwägt
sich zu verstecken
in die Tiefen
semitransparenter Straßenlichter
stürzt er sich herab

Hier
greift die Rotation
Jetzt
scheint die Welt zu scheinen
-
die Vegetation
-
tanzt zwischen den Steinen

diese Luft
riecht nach Himmelblau
auch wenn sie niemand atmet
der Himmel atmet ein - atmet aus

Wenn du sie nicht mehr atmest
der Himmel atmet ein - atmet aus

- - -

RGB
(translation by Magnus Rook)

red dawn
in yellow trash bags
the birds are chanting air
like waves across the town
the tower's bell chimes
through eighty crossings
but in the obscure woods
of road signs devoid of meaning
it fails to cast an image

Here
rotation is taking hold
Now
the world stops pretending
-
life is tuning out
-
echoes away and away

green evening lights
over purplish harmonies
the hills' foggy scent
is flooding the town
the moon considers
to hide among the depths
of semitransparent street lights
and then lunges down

Here
rotation is taking hold
Now
the world stops pretending
-
the vegetation is dancing
-
between the rocks

this air
smells like the blue sky itself
though none breathe it
the sky keeps breathing in - breathing out

once you have ceased to breathe
the sky keeps breathing in - breathing out
