Bis es weh tut [feat. Max Mutzke] English translation
von Luxuslärm

A bare wall right in front of me
Just a few hooks still hanging here
Where our life used to be
Lights out, world out, it changes nothing
In an empty room, I lie down
Where once there was so much love
And I gasp for air
My head is shattered
I’m half-dead, feel so empty, at least I feel something

Why do we only feel that we’re alive, that we’re alive, when it hurts, when it hurts
Why do we only know what we had, what we had, when it hurts, when it hurts
Why do we only feel that we’re alive, that we’re alive, when it hurts, when it hurts
Why do we risk everything we have, everything we have until it hurts, until it hurts
Until it hurts


I wander around like I’m remote-controlled
Just to do something
Ash rains into the sonar
Cold silence in the air, it's the loneliness that calls
Hmm, will it stay like this forever
And my heart burns
Do you know what that’s like
I’m half-dead, feel so empty, at least I feel something

Why do we only feel that we’re alive, that we’re alive, when it hurts, when it hurts
Why do we risk everything we have, everything we have until it hurts, until it hurts

Dreams come slowly and often go too quickly
You see happiness from behind in the rearview mirror
Save your tears, you’ll need them still

Why do we only feel that we’re alive, that we’re alive, when it hurts, when it hurts
Why do we risk everything we have, everything we have until it hurts, until it hurts
Why do we risk everything we have, everything we have until it hurts, until it hurts
