On 29 March 2021, Sutorius announced on his Facebook page that he would onwards perform, produce and release music under his own name "Jeffrey Sutorius". The announcement came after he had lost a legal dispute with the former members of the group who has since 17 March 2021 been the legal owners of the Dash Berlin trademark.
Fool For Life
Dash Berlin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying hard not to miss anything life might give
Or do I keep on running round?
Chasing my tail, never exhale
How come I never settle down?
Will I ever rest my head?
At ease, at peace
I ask of you
If only fools are satisfied
Take my sanity away
If only fools, fools are satisfied
Take my sanity away
If only fools are satisfied
Take my sanity away
When will I ever lose this drive?
I try but I never seem to win this fight
I'm like a house without a soul
The emptiness keeps me going
Maybe you can make me whole
And sooth my head
At ease, at peace
And in need of nothing else
I ask of you
If only fools are satisfied
Take my sanity away
If only fools, fools are satisfied
Take my sanity away
If only fools are satisfied
Take my sanity away
