Quadrat im Kreis English translation
von WIZO

Now and then I realize
That I can't laugh anymore
At things I used to find funny

Now and then I also notice
That I don’t need people anymore
And I’d rather be all alone

But the pain is bittersweet
And somehow so familiar
I’ve gotten used to it
So what’s missing for the final step
Is, once again, just a little courage
And the paradoxical anger about it
Gets drowned in dreams
By the damn ease of appearance

Now and then it becomes clear to me
That everything has changed
From what it seemed to be in the past


Now and then I feel
That I no longer like the sun
Because I can’t bear the bright light anymore

But the pain is bittersweet
And somehow so familiar
I’ve gotten used to it
So what’s missing for the final step
Is, once again, just a little courage
And the paradoxical anger about it
Gets drowned in dreams
By the damn ease of appearance

Like a square in a circle
I keep bumping into the edges
Even though I’ve long known
That I can never change
What can never be changed
Because the bad always stays
And yet the sun keeps shining
No matter what happens


Like a square in a circle
I keep bumping into the edges
Even though I’ve long known
That I can never change
What can never be changed
Because the bad always stays
And yet the sun keeps shining

Over and over I realize
That the "now and then" has become
More and more constant
