Solastalgia Songtext
von The Old Dead Tree

Does the fall of our world have now got ineluctable for real?
Like a slope, a tide you cannot swim upstream

(I don′t know, my god, I don't know what to do now)
The vivid colors and the smiles (I don′t know, my god, I don't know what to do now)
Hide the storm that's to come (I don′t know, my god, I don′t know what to do now)
We prefer false hopes and denial (I don't know, my god, I don′t know what to do now)

But we can't get away
(I don′t know, my god, I don't know what to do now)
No, we can′t get away
(I don't know, my god, I don't know what to do now)
No, we can′t get away
(I don′t know, my god, I don't know what to do now)
(I don′t know, my god, I don't know what to do now)

To hell with it, I just don′t have the strength to find
The right path through this maze of contradictions
A sword of Damocles hangs over my mind
And I can't think of any solution


The road is long, there is no time
And some fools claim everything′s fine
I wish they're right, to my dismay 'cause we can′t get away
(I don′t know, my god, I don't know what to do now)
No, we can′t get away
(I don't know, my god, I don′t know what to do now)

Just feel the misery
Sure, let's close our eyes and take a nap
As mankind is wiped off the map
I won′t forget to turn off the tap
It's your most valuable contribution

I'll only live once, that′s a fact
Does what I do have an impact
On our chances to survive, ′cause we can't get away

(I don′t know, my god, I don't know what to do now)
(I don′t know, my god, I don't know what to do now)
(I don′t know, my god, I don't know what to do now)
(I don't know, my god, I don′t know what to do now)
(I don′t know, my god, I don't know what to do now)
(I don′t know, I don't, I don′t know what to do now)
(I don't know, I don′t, I don't know what to do now)
(I don't know, I don′t, I don′t know what to do now)


No, we can't get away
(I don′t know, my god, I don't know what to do now)
No, we can′t get away
(I don't know, my god, I don′t know what to do now)
No, we can't get away
