Umarme mich
Ich + Ich Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh...
Meine Gedanken sind weich
Meine Augen tun weh
Ich hab heut genug gehört
Und genug gesehen
Das war ein echt harter Tag
Es waren tausend Prozent
Und von allem zuviel
Ich hab 'nen knochenharten Job
Mein Geist ist total leer
Meine Kraft ist am Ende
Ich kann nicht mehr
Vom Ehrgeiz getrieben
Hätt ich nie gedacht
Es weht ein eiskalter Wind
In den Häusern der Macht
Umarme mich
Leg meinen Kopf in deinen Schoß
Beruhige mich
Und lass mich nicht mehr los
Gib mir von deiner Energie
Ich steh als Bettler hier vor dir
Schau mich an
Ich hab es weit gebracht
Ich bin umgeben von Symbolen
Symbolen der Macht
Ich wollte immer nach oben
Solang ich denken kann
Ich gebe immer mein Bestes
Ich streng mich an
Aber Glück wird bestimmt
Von fremden Gnaden
Ich weiß, es hängt alles
Am seidenen Faden
Umarme mich
Leg meinen Kopf in deinen Schoß
Beruhige mich
Und lass mich nicht mehr los
Gib mir von deiner Energie
Ich steh als Bettler hier vor dir
Umarme mich
(Umarme mich)
Hol mich in eine andere Welt
Beruhige mich
(Beruhige mich)
Sag, dass du zu mir hältst
Gib mir von deiner Energie
Ich steh als Bettler hier vor dir
(Ich steh als Bettler hier vor dir)
Oh...
Mmm...
Oh...
Umarme mich
Beruhige mich
Gib mir von deiner Energie
Umarme mich
(Umarme mich)
Leg meinen Kopf in deinen Schoß
Beruhige mich
(Beruhige mich)
Und lass mich nicht mehr los
Gib mir von deiner Energie
Ich steh als Bettler hier vor dir
Umarme mich
(Umarme mich)
Hol mich in eine andere Welt
Beruhige mich
(Beruhige mich)
Sag, dass du zu mir hältst
Gib mir von deiner Energie
Ich steh als Bettler hier vor dir
