Tagebuch English translation
von MoTrip

I'm writing it down, this is like my diary
Years ago, I was already looking for a good plan
Something like a friend who says: "This way, I know the way"
I need to move forward, I've been going around in circles for far too long.

I swore that we could make it if we wanted to
I see the rats chasing me in the shadows of the buildings
But I won't be fooled, no
When night falls and the clouds cry
You better trust no one, apart from friends

Make a deal with the devil and you will see
That devilish deeds are not worth it, because the devil torments you
He gives you Euros and also gold, but holds the dagger to your throat
Because for the gold, the devil demands your soul.

Blinded by success, many people are too proud to change.
We obey and follow orders.
One should not waste this life.
And think anew every day about what one wanted and why.


I've seen what it's like up there
I've seen what it's like when you're at the bottom
And maybe the next step needs to be a step back
Because I can't be happy like this (not without you)

I've seen what it's like up there
I've seen what it's like when you're lost
I'm sorry, but I'll walk the last bit alone
Even though I know I won't be happy

Not without you, not without you, not without you
Not without you, not without you, not without you

I'm writing it down, this is like my diary
Years ago, I was already looking for a good plan
God be my witness, my dreams, I'm burying them now
Every day, just a movie in my head, stop this flood of data

I taste the smog in my block with every breath I take
Many here are losing more than just their hope, what do you expect?
The devil comes and always tempts you
When you're looking for color somewhere in this black and white life.

And because even the most beautiful rose eventually withers
I live my life isolated from the outside world
In the shadow of buildings, where you freeze when your house falls apart
You're worth nothing, but you die for a pile of money


Going down is fast, I don't need this money
I see the wonders of this world (not without you)
And what I'm saying might seem crazy
But without you, I can't be happy (not without you)

I've seen what it's like up there
I've seen what it's like when you're at the bottom
And maybe the next step needs to be a step back
Because I can't be happy like this (not without you)

I've seen what it's like up there
I've seen what it's like when you're lost
I'm sorry, but I'll walk the last bit alone
Even though I know I won't be happy

Not without you, not without you, not without you
Not without you, not without you, not without you

Not without you, not without you, not without you
Not without you, not without you, not without you

Because even if you can't understand it with your heart
I have scars that you can't see at first glance
Scars that are still open, I have questions that are still open
Even though I've been hoping for years

Because even if you can't understand it with your heart
I have scars that you can't see at first glance
Scars that life makes and I ask myself every night
How I've been able to live like this for years

I've seen what it's like up there
I've seen what it's like when you're at the bottom
And maybe the next step needs to be a step back
Because I can't be happy like this (not without you)

I've seen what it's like up there
I've seen what it's like when you're lost
I'm sorry, but I'll walk the last bit alone
Even though I know I won't be happy

Not without you, not without you, not without you
Not without you, not without you, not without you
Not without you, not without you, not without you
Not without you, not without you, not without you
