Quarantine
Bonaparte (CH) Lyrics

I've made one mistake in my life
I regret that I did not burn down Berlin.

And now the drugs are slowly wearing off
As the effects of drugs wear away, the reality is setting in.

And your smile looks more like a frown
Your facial expression appears unhappy.

I give you freedom - you are alone
I have granted you freedom, but you are isolated and alone now.

Memento mori, infinitum nihil
Remember you will die and that there is infinite nothingness.

I'd tear your heart out if you had one
I wish to cause harm to you, but you lack the necessary emotions to feel it.

You took Manhattan and now you take
You have already taken much, but you continue to take more.

This ship is in quarantine
The ship is under quarantine due to infectious disease.

Under quarantine
The ship is being quarantined to prevent the spread of disease.

Don't wake me unless you come
Please do not wake me unless you are leaving for good.

To say you're leaving for good
Please tell me that you are leaving for good so I can rest easy.

The last fruit just fell off that tree
There is nothing left for us to gain from this situation.

And now you're trying to sell me the wood
You are attempting to profit from the remains of our situation.

I'm watching my own execution
I am observing my own downfall and demise.

Hear me laughing at the dead
I am finding humor in the unfortunate outcome of others.

While I'm waiting for a smallprint
I am waiting for a loophole or technicality to gain an advantage.

A little ? in the head
I have a small question in my mind regarding the situation.

It's the sequel of the sequel of the sequel
This repeated situation is a continuation of a previous circumstance.

Impress people you don't like
We spend money to gain favor from individuals we do not like or respect.

Spending money you don't have
We are using money we do not possess to create a façade of wealth.

Pretty flames in a rear-view mirror
We are leaving behind a beautiful but ultimately destructive situation.

As I shake the ashes off my shoe
We are displacing the consequences of our actions onto others.

You appear much closer than you really are
You give the impression of being close, but in reality, you are far away.

But now I'm ? up in something new
But now I am entangled in a new, problematic situation.

This ship is in quarantine
The ship is being quarantined to prevent the spread of disease.
