Egoist English translation
von JEREMIAS

It hurts to go now
But it would be worse to stay
I can't lose you all now
for I will write about you

I like the new streets and the smell
and the foreign voices and the foreign air
And I even like being invisible
The people just simply walk past me

Everybody wants to be someone, I'd rather be nothing
If it's about freedom then I'm an egoist
On the one side I'm a ghost, on the other I'm a child
I think my role model has always been only the wind


Everything stays the way it is
That is fine but nothing for me
Every habit kills me
and every rule makes me go silent

I don't know yet when we'll meet again
That's good but it also hurts a bit
I know the time runs out and doesn't stop anymore
I have understoof and I finally let it go

Everybody wants to be someone, I'd rather be nothing
If it's about freedom then I'm an egoist
On the one side I'm a ghost, on the other I'm a child
I think my role model has always been only the wind

Yes, Everybody wants to be someone, I'd rather be nothing
If it's about freedom then I'm an egoist
On the one side I'm a ghost, on the other I'm a child
I think my role model has always been only the wind
