Scherbenmeer English translation
von Christina Stürmer

You are gravity
You pull me down
You are the rain and I am land under
In case you’re interested, the attempt to hate you
Suddenly worked

I tried
To capture our good times forever
To stick them and hold on to them
To place them by my bed and frame them
But happiness left us
Because you just can’t help it

I throw your picture against the wall
I want it to shatter
It slips from my hand
Now I only see you and me
In my sea of shards


Tell me what it brings you
When my world sinks
I want to see it break
In my sea of shards

You are the salt
In my wound
You are the thousandth of every second
In case you’re interested, the attempt to hate you
Worked perfectly

I tried not to lose happiness
To keep it forever behind glass
To lock it up and freeze it
To seal it airtight
But you still broke out
I counted on you
But the equation doesn’t add up

I throw your picture against the wall
I want it to shatter
It slips from my hand
Now I only see you and me
In my sea of shards


Tell me what it brings you
When my world sinks
I want to see it break
In my sea of shards
In my sea of shards

And I walk barefoot through the room
Through the shards of our dream
I want to feel how the glass touches my skin
And I walk barefoot through the room
It doesn’t matter, I barely feel it
Because your picture will never hurt me again

I throw your picture against the wall
I want it to shatter
It slips from my hand
Now I only see you and me

I throw your picture against the wall
I want it to shatter
It slips from my hand
Now I only see you and me
In my sea of shards

Tell me what it brings you
When my world sinks
I want to see it break
In my sea of shards

In case you’re interested, the attempt to hate you
Suddenly worked
