Von jetzt an English translation

My reflection looks at my sadly
And asks me: When is it finally my turn?
Too loud, too fast, too far
I've never got the time
I want to go straight ahead but walk in a circle
Want colors but only see in black and white
A glance, a word, an opportunity
Would be enough already

I've often asked myself
Is it my fault
That I wish I were somewhere else,
Just not here?
I've told myself a thousand times
There's so much more
There's so much more


Starting now
I'm only going to let light into my world
No one there who can keep me on the ground
Quantum leap for a new orbit
Starting now
I'm turning the clock hands how I want to
Throw away the old clothes
Write it on all the walls
Because I can
Starting now

Can someone explain where the fault is
When the ground is moving beneath me?
A little bit to the front
And back
I nearly can't follow

I've often asked myself
Is it my fault
That I wish I were someone else,
Someone like you?
But I've told myself a thousand times
There's so much more
There's so much more


Starting now
I'm only going to let light into my world
No one there who can keep me on the ground
Quantum leap for a new orbit
Starting now
I'm turning the clock hands how I want to
Throw away the old clothes
Scream it from all the rooftops
Because I can
Starting now

No more hiding away
I won't change myself
I'm not even thinking of doing so
Try again later
And not even then, no
I'm not even thinking of doing so
I'm screaming it as loud as I can

Starting now
I'm only going to let light into my world
No one there who can keep me on the ground
Quantum leap for a new orbit
Starting now
I'm turning the clock hands how I want to
Throw away the old clothes
Write it on all the walls
Because I can
Starting now
