Rückspiegel English translation
von Maxim

It's always
So easy to remember
Down here by the river
When the water
Has blunted the shards
And nothing cuts anymore
In your chest
Yes, you forget the mosquito bites
When you think of summer
And dream the wrinkles from your forehead
But you immediately feel sick
When you try to imagine What you will become one day
And happiness is standing in front of you on the street
And sticking out its thumb
But everything happens so quickly
That you only notice it
When you look in the rearview mirror
And then it's long too late
To stop
Then you have to keep going straight
Until happiness rushes past you again
Because you keep looking in the rearview mirror
Yeah...


And how often do you have to
Turn everything upside down
Until you finally see
And that the key
That you're looking for so desperately
Is lying in front of your nose the whole time
You crawl with a blindfold
And a spoon through the world
And you're always lukewarm
And tomorrow morning this sad comedy starts all over again
And happiness is standing in front of you on the street
And sticking out its thumb
But everything happens so quickly
That you only notice it
When you look in the rearview mirror
And then it's long too late
To stop
Then you have to keep going straight
Until happiness rushes past you again
Because you're constantly looking in the rearview mirror
Yeah...

But maybe it will click at some point
And then suddenly everything is there
And for a brief moment you see
Everything very clearly and distinctly
And happiness is standing in front of you on the street
And sticking out its thumb
And you stop and it gets in
And everything is okay
When you look in the rearview mirror
