Keine Maschine English translation
von Tim Bendzko

Continuing like this is not an option
I need to break out of here
If you’re reading this, I’m already gone
I want to shape my own life
I have to at least try
I need control back
I can’t just keep functioning

I’m not a machine
I’m a human made of flesh and blood
And I want to live, until my last breath
I’m a human with all my flaws
My anger and my euphoria
I’m not a machine
I live on air and fantasy


There’s still so much extraordinary to experience
The whole world is open to me
I stand like a rooted statue
I lie in chains of unspoken rules
I’m stuck in place, but need to move freely

I’m not a machine
I’m a human made of flesh and blood
And I want to live, until my last breath
I’m a human with all my flaws
My anger and my euphoria
I’m not a machine
I live on air and fantasy
On air and fantasy

Until I conquer gravity
I won’t capitulate, I won’t capitulate

I’m not a machine
I’m a human made of flesh and blood
And I want to live, until my last breath
I’m a human with all my flaws
My anger and my euphoria
I’m not a machine
I live on air and fantasy


I’m not a machine
I live on air and fantasy
