Das sind wir English translation
von Joris

We wear our shadows like a second skin
Full of bullet holes, scars
Well concealed in the grey
Pinned-on medals shimmer, worn
But winning and losing
Both part of us

Because in every crack that remains
There's a little bit of eternity
Because we are future and memory
And somewhere in between
We sing for nights on end to the rhythm of the music
With tears in our eyes
But a laughing face


Oh, that's us
Winners and losers
United within us at the same time
It tears us apart again and again
A mosaic of a thousand pieces
All the stones become one
Kaleidoscope with a thousand colors
So often hard to understand
But that's us
Oh, oh, that's us

We cast dark shadows
Miles ahead
But in our dreams
We paint them gold
Celebrate the triumphs
Blacken memories
But our yesterday, our tomorrow
Both part of us

And the euphoria fades away
But a little bit of happiness remains
Because we are the future and memory
And somewhere in between
We sing for nights on end to the rhythm of the music
With tears in our eyes
But a laughing face


Oh, that's us
Winners and losers
United within ourselves at the same time
It tears us apart again and again
A mosaic of a thousand pieces
All the stones become one
Kaleidoscope with a thousand colors
So often hard to understand
But that's us

Often only know right or wrong
That's who we are
Aren't we all everything at the same time?
That's us
And things spin almost endlessly
It takes so long to understand

That's us
Oh, that's us
Oh, that's us
A mosaic of a thousand pieces
Oh, that's us
A kaleidoscope with a thousand colors
Oh, that's us
A mosaic of a thousand pieces
Oh, that's us
A kaleidoscope with a thousand colors
Oh, that's
