Anfassen English translation
von Johannes Oerding

We know everything everywhere
But way too less about us
And this bit will be divided then
What was real one time, is cold now
Today artificial, in the past art
Who doesn't notice limits, goes often too far

We have thousands of friends
But have never seen them
Because way too garish the glares the light
We have thousands of dreams
But lose the real life
It decays to dust of zeros and ones


I need something to touch
Then I can let it go again
I don't want to adapt anymore
I want to have my life in my own grip
Because we drown more and more
In this cold sea of lights
When everywhere stands about everything
The moment isn't worth anything

Wrong direction step by step
Until the next wave breaks
No time to draw breath again
We remove ourselves click by click
Of the things, which are actually real
Ey, do we swim with or against the crowd?

We have thousands of dreams
But lose the real life
Yes, we get lost in smog and fog

I need something to touch
Then I can let it go again
I don't want to adapt anymore
I want to have my life in my own grip
Because we drown more and more
In this cold sea of lights
When everywhere stands about everything
The moment isn't worth anything


And how often did we think?
How often did we miss each other
Because our world blinks too loud?
You can hear and see much purer
Feel and understand much better
Come on, let's talk again
And take the heads up again

I need something to touch
Then I can let it go again
I don't want to adapt anymore
I want to have my life in my own grip
Because we drown more and more
In this cold sea of lights
When everywhere stands about everything
The moment isn't worth anything
