Paroles et traduction Wolfgang Niedecken - Jedanke em Treibsand

Jedanke em Treibsand

Jedanke em Treibsand, all Nerve liej'n blank
Ne Sumpf uss Jeföhle, dä du su noch nit kannts
Du weiß, dat du selvs schuld bess, sie kann nix dofür
Nä, du wills ihr nit leid dunn, bloß kein Träne vüür ihr
Su hilflos wie nur jet, total ussjebrannt
Du klammers dich manisch ahn jede Strühhalm

Jedanke em Treibsand, sie's alles für dich
Du häss se verschlesse, ohne sie bess du nix

Kenns dich selvs nit mieh widder, wills me'm Kopp durch de Wand
Du schwemms öm dieh Lääve doch sühs nirjendwo Land
Du wünschs, du künnts schloofe, denx dich öm dä Verstand
Leets dieh Glöck durch de Finger
Rinne, als wöhr't nit mieh wert als Sand
Wünschs, du künnts dich verstelle, wöhrs nit dä, dä du bess
Künnts jeduldisch un cool sinn, wie dä, bei dämm sie jetz ess

Jedanke em Treibsand, sie's alles für dich
Du häss se verschlesse, ohne sie bess du nix

Du häss se zo off behandelt - weed dir noh un noh klar
Als ob sie dir länx ejal wöhr, als wöhr se'e Stöck Inventar
Dobei hatts du dinge Kosmos ens öm sie römmjebaut
Jetz litt alles en Trömmer, du häss alles versaut
Du künnts dich ändere, schwörste. Wööts du doch endlich wach
Wöhr doch alles 'ne Albdraum, bloß en fiebrije Naach

Jedanke em Treibsand, sie's alles für dich
Du häss se verschlesse, ohne sie bess du nix
Du häss se verschlesse, ohne sie bess du nix
Du häss se verschlesse, ohne sie bess du nix

Thoughts in Quicksand

Thoughts in quicksand, all nerves lie bare
A swamp of emotions, you've never known despair
You know it's your own fault, she's not to blame
No, you don't want to hurt her, just no tears for her
So helpless as anything, totally burned out
You cling manically to every straw

Thoughts in quicksand, she's everything to you
You've locked her out, without her you're nothing

Don't know yourself anymore, want to bang my head against the wall
You're swimming around life, but you can't see land anywhere
You wish you could sleep, think yourself stupid
Happiness slipping through your fingers
Running away as if it were worthless like sand
Wish you could act, not be who you are
Could be patient and cool, like the one she's with now

Thoughts in quicksand, she's everything to you
You've locked her out, without her you're nothing

You treated her so badly - it's becoming clearer and clearer
As if she had long been indifferent to you, as if she were a piece of furniture
But you built your cosmos around her
Now everything lies in ruins, you've messed everything up
You can change, you swear. Do you want to wake up finally?
If only it were all a nightmare, just a feverish night

Thoughts in quicksand, she's everything to you
You've locked her out, without her you're nothing
You've locked her out, without her you're nothing
You've locked her out, without her you're nothing
