Manchmal
Fish Lyrics

The turtle and the scorpion, the riverbank the deal,
Two unlikely allies, a cautious agreement to cross the river.

To cross the open water they mutually agreed,
In common interest, both parties consented to proceed.

Out there in the distance, the other side in sight,
With a destination in mind, the journey begins in earnest.

Banking on forever, holding on for life,
Hoping for success, clinging to the chance for survival.

I can see the other side,
The ultimate goal is within reach and visible.

I want to see the other side,
The desire to achieve the objective is strong.

Somewhere in the middle the truth is hard to find,
The closer one gets, the more elusive the answers become.

I'm running round in circles; I find I'm running blind,
The search is getting more desperate and less likely to succeed.

Praying for the distance, praying for more time,
Hoping for a solution, but running out of resources and chances.

Running round in circles, running out of time,
The time for indecision has passed, and difficult choices must be made.

Manchmal, I often think of you,
Sometimes I reminisce about you with fondness.

Manchmal, I want to see it through,
Sometimes I am hopeful we can make our plans a reality.

Manchmal, I should feel something more inside,
Sometimes I wonder if I am missing a vital element to success.

Manchmal, I want to reach the other side.
Sometimes I long to achieve my goal, no matter the cost.

I'm swimming, I'm swimming!
I am making an intense effort to achieve my goal.

The point of grave decision, no turning back this time,
A critical juncture has been reached, and there is no possibility of retreat.

No sense of reluctance, no doubt in my mind,
The decision has been made with full confidence and certainty.

Except that nagging feeling, the thought that it might fail,
Despite confidence, there is still a lingering doubt of possible failure.

The bullet's in the chamber, the sting is in the tail,
All preparations have been made, and the outcome is imminent.

Manchmal, I only think of you,
Sometimes you consume my thoughts entirely.

Manchmal, could we see it through?
Sometimes I wonder if we could indeed succeed together.

Manchmal, there is something left inside?
Sometimes I question if there is any more hope and willpower left.

Manchmal, my nature cannot hide!
Sometimes my mind and heart reveal my true intentions.

I can see where we're going; I can see how you feel,
The path and emotions of the other person are evident.

I can sense you're going to leave me, I know you'll break the deal,
It is clear that the partnership will not last and that the agreement may be broken.

I'll drown in my sorrows and I'll drink at your shrine, manchmal,
Sometimes, when things fall apart, I may turn to sadness or even reminisce about the fond memories.

Is that the way that you see it, tell me how it should be,
I am questioning the opinion and perspective of the other party and seeking a resolution.

It's time to choose between the devil and the deep blue see,
A decision must be made between two difficult options.

Manchmal, Manchmal.
Sometimes life can be unpredictable and full of surprises.

Manchmal, there's something stirring deep inside,
Sometimes, a deep desire for change and determination emerges.

Manchmal, a chance to come alive,
Sometimes an opportunity arises that brings hope and new life.

It's time to choose between the open water and your dreams,
A crucial moment has arrived where one's dreams are on the line.

Time you faced reality, time you faced your fears,
It is necessary to confront the uncomfortable truths and doubts that hinder progress.

Manchmal, it's different this time,
Sometimes there is a feeling that things can change.

Manchmal, manchmal, it'll be different this time,
Sometimes there is hope that the outcome can be favorable.

Jedesmal.
Every time one is faced with adversity, the journey requires a new level of resilience and determination.
