Atlantis English translation
von Richter

I just want you to forgive
For you to understand that I was finished
I'm ready after all this time 'cause I'm finally getting the hang of it
My anger was always there for you
I tried to suppress it, my dear child
But I can't bear it
I lived nights in pure fear for you
And I learned to stand my ground as a little boy
I'm sorry you've been waiting for me for years
And you're about to die because I don't heal the scars
Yes, we both run away, because only flight kept us alive
But today I'm fine and I want to talk
Please tell me where you are, I need to find you and take you home
And then I'll show you the way I walked
It won't be easy, but after the trip I have to go
But if you don't, then no one will understand
Even though we were both inseparable, you have to understand
That just the fear and all the fighting were never your parents in the end


I was looking for whatever was inside of me
There's another child buried under my anger
I've been thinking far too long what the voice says
Man, I asked about the meaning at school
But no one knew the answer to that
So I search for Atlantis and dive
And if I can do it, then so can you
Open the map, pack your things and run!

I often thought I had the world in my hands
And then noticed′ I stare at prison walls
Tell me, do you really become a man when you get older?
Tears often flowed that I did not understand myself
Please believe me, I'm tired of playing hide and seek
And make my way to the forgotten city
Dear God, I don't care if an angel is guarding me
I'm looking for my child in the endless night
I lost you because of my parents' drama
I was there for my mum, I didn't realize what changed that
Today I know: your soul still has no peace
That's exactly why the kids love me so much
And that's exactly why I got sick
But even I don't take it seriously because it already sounds trite
But I'll run and fetch you home
Because unfortunately I realized it way too late
Damn, I'm living in fear after years, it's catching up to me (it's catching up to me!)

There's another child buried under my anger
I've been thinking far too long what the voice says
Man, I asked about the meaning at school
But no one knew the answer to that

And if I can do it, then so can you
Open the map, pack your things and run!

Even if it's below sea level
I know he exists
Sometimes I still talk to him
When I decided to move away from this area, he stayed
What he called home was draining my life energy
And while he's playing alone outside in the rainy weather
Do I have to regulate what needs to be regulated, also apart from the music
Damn, I'm dying for music!
Because every melody was therapy for the soul!
I'm sorry, I'll take you home!

I was looking for whatever was inside of me
There's another child buried under my anger
I've been muting far too long what the voice says
Man, I asked about the meaning at school
But no one knew the answer to that
So I search for Atlantis and dive
And if I can do it, then so can you
Open the map, pack your things and run!
