Karussell English translation
von Montez

My main problem is getting up every morning
Going out there, but look: that's a thousand tears
In my face and they think I've given up
Why do I run out into life every morning, hey?
And they ask me things, but I have
Panic attacks that drive me crazy
And yet they constantly ask themselves: "Why doesn't he rap party songs?"
Shut up! - I'm eating pills to cope
I don't drink alcohol anymore because it destroys me too
Do you think the explosions in my head have stopped
I haven't heard from my wife in a long time
And the edges under my eyes have turned blue
Maybe you noticed that too
Summer leaves me cold, but I thaw out in autumn
It feels like you missed everything
This dream becomes the dream of never having had this dream


Brother, do you see the Fireflies over the city?
That night
Because no one shows me how to do it
I'll stay awake
Do you hear the butterflies flying to the beat?
And no one moves, but everything here rotates

Brother, do you see the Fireflies over the city?
That night
Because no one shows me how to do it
I'll stay awake
Do you hear the butterflies flying to the beat?
And no one moves, but everything here rotates (spins)


I sought help from people I thought could understand me
I stood in front of the psychiatrist's door and said I had to go
Let me persuade you, said okay, I'll go into it
After two minutes it was said: "Shut up, I won't tell myself anything
No pig understands me." and they think I've gone too far
Because they don't read me - and I've been able to write them for a long time (Tze)
A perfect head fuck with messages
Lose every tug of war and still can't let go
I'm not writing this because it's easy for me
This isn't an illusory world, it's just a shitty world
I've seen so many tears in my life
That I can't stand it
So many broken people that don't unfold
"Why don't you ever talk about problems when I ask?" Well
As soon as I talk about problems, they are true, what
Do I want to be on these streets?
I've been driving too far for a long time
My main problem is falling asleep every night

Brother, do you see the Fireflies over the city?
That night
Because no one shows me how to do it
I'll stay awake
Do you hear the butterflies flying to the beat?
And no one moves, but everything here rotates

Like a carousel, carousel
Like a carousel, carousel
I need a light that illuminates the night
But no one moves and everything here rotates (spins)

Like a carousel, carousel
Like a carousel, carousel
At some point everything will be bright here (everything will be bright)
And everyone moves, but nothing here rotates anymore

Brother, do you see the Fireflies over the city?
That night
Because no one shows me how to do it
I'll stay awake
Do you hear the butterflies flying to the beat?
And no one moves, but everything here rotates
