Atme den Regen English translation
von Kontra K

The ceiling sinks, my walls are closing in
Time to change something again
No results for far too long
But the days are getting longer

And haven't done anything to be proud of for a long time
Never arrived, but always starting over again
The phone rings, but screw it, let the voicemail pick up
Hood deep in my face, no mood for eye contact

And the wind is cool, eyes are watering
Everything is dragging rather than moving forward
Pressure on my shoulders
The past is a heavy burden

Pushes me deep into the mire, why does everything piss me off?
And none of my steps move me forward, because without will, there is no strength
With my back to the wall, my head bursts, the blood wants to boil with rage
The sky is gray, the street is wet, but the rain cools me down


The sky in gray, dark clouds gather
I breathe the rain, endure the life
The sky in gray, washes the dirt off my skin
Only on days like these do my roots break through the concrete again

Why does it hurt even more today than usual?
It was clear to me from which direction the dagger in my back comes
Running is difficult, my legs are stuck in the concrete
Every single word in my head sounds like sad songs

The wall grows, the armor closes because too much is simply too much
My feelings are dark gray, like the sky on days like these
The collar is too tight and every breath is hard
The stabbing in my chest gets worse and worse

I just want to get away, forget the rest, why half full, because the glass is empty
All dreams are just wandering dead in this no man's land
So what do I want here, where everything spoils what you still have
I could explode with rage, but the rain cools me down

The sky in gray, dark clouds gather
I breathe the rain, endure the life
The sky in gray, washes the dirt off my skin
Only on days like these do my roots break through the concrete again


The sky in gray
I breathe the rain, endure the life
The sky in gray, washes the dirt off my skin
Only on days like these do my roots break through the concrete again

Too many crises
You see yourself lying on the ground
No love on days like these
The clouds break open
Like plants breaking out of the ground
So don't give up, even on days like these

The sky in gray, dark clouds gather
I breathe the rain, endure the life
The sky in gray, washes the dirt off my skin
Only on days like these do my roots break through the concrete again

The sky in gray
I breathe the rain, endure the life
The sky in gray, washes the dirt off my skin
Only on days like these do my roots break through the concrete again
