Behind the Glass Songtext
von Herbert Grönemeyer

Innermost circles
Worlds within worlds
Standing beneath
A starlit curl
Selfmade dreams
The deepest trust
The universe
The universe is us

No pain
No scars to show
Two hand in one hand
One track in the snow
One track in the snow


The air stands still
Behind the glass
Splintered sunlight from the past
It feels so real
And so secure
The surface shatters
And we stay pure

Scars are golden
Partners in crime
Two souls reflected
As shadows climb
Simple love
Of open hearts
We blindly follow
The chosen path
Held together
By our truth
Radiating
Disappearing into
Disappearing into


The air stands still
Behind the glass
Splintered sunlight from the past
It feels so real
And so secure
The surface shatters
And we stay pure

No sign, sign
That we are out of time
To need to try hard
No need to find
Another kind
Of life or paradise
This place
Will keep us
Keep us one

No pain
No scars to show
Two hands in one hand
A track in the snow
One track in the snow

The air stands still
Behind the glass
Splintered sunlight from the past
It feels so real
And so secure
The surface shatters
And we stay pure
