Schiffbruch
Zugezogen Maskulin Lyrics

Schiffbruch in Kreuzberg am Meer
Being stranded in a place with no hope, like a shipwreck in Kreuzberg, a neighborhood in Berlin, by the sea

Les deine Rauchzeichen und springe hinterher
Reading other people's signals and following their lead to try and survive the situation

Tauche durch Spritzen, die Haut aufgerissen
Going through difficult and painful experiences, like diving through needles, and getting hurt in the process

Für dich fress ich Scherben – für dich würd ich sterben!
Being willing to do anything for someone you care about, even if it means eating broken glass or dying for them

Wenn man Leben umdreht heisst es Nebel
When life gets turned upside down, everything becomes hazy and unclear

Er füllt das Prince Charles, ich durchtrenn ihn mit dem Säbel
Trying to cut through the fog of confusion and chaos, like using a sword to cut through fog in a nightclub called Prince Charles

Kämpf mich durch goldene Masken
Struggling to get through the facade that people put up, like fighting through golden masks to reveal their true selves

Ich mach alles platt was im Weg steht, seh dich und erblasse
Destroying anything that stands in the way of what you want, but feeling shaken when you see someone you care about

Deine Schönheit machte mich fertig
Being overwhelmed and exhausted by someone's beauty

Jetzt sind deine Augen schwarze Löcher, Syd Barret
Seeing the person you care about change and become unrecognizable, like the eyes of the musician Syd Barrett, who suffered from mental illness and changed dramatically over time

Sie erkennen mich nicht, wollen mich nicht erkennen
Feeling rejected and invisible to the person you care about, who doesn't recognize or acknowledge you

Etwas Dunkles hat dich weggenommen, die Stadt beginnt zu brennen
Realizing that something dark has taken hold of the person you care about, and feeling like the city around you is falling apart

Scheisse, ich bring dich raus!
Feeling the urgency to save the person you care about from their struggles and pain

Greife deine Hand, du schüttelst nur den Kopf, zerfällst zu Staub
Trying to reach out and help the person you care about, but realizing that they are beyond your reach and seem to be falling apart

Alles, was ich weiss und glaub' ist am zerbrechen
Feeling like everything you know and believe in is falling apart and breaking down

In meinen Augen schwarze Flecken
Feeling like there are dark spots or blemishes clouding your vision and understanding of the world

Wir alle sind verrückt, nur manche können's besser verstecken
Realizing that everyone is a little bit crazy, but some people are better at hiding it than others

Bitte sag mir was ein Kreuzberg am Meer bringt, wenn man darin ertrinkt?
Questioning the point of being in a place that seems like it should be perfect, like Kreuzberg by the sea, but actually feels suffocating and overwhelming

Auskühlen und treten, verzweifeln und beten
Trying to cope with difficult situations, like cooling off and trying to move forward, but also feeling despair and praying for a way out

Wasser in die Lunge saugen, Augen verdrehen
Feeling like you are drowning in the situation, like water filling your lungs and causing you to gasp and panic

Ein Hund ist ein Hund, weil er sich hinlegt und stirbt
Comparing the simplicity of a dog's life, where they simply rest and die, to the complexity of human life and the struggle to survive and thrive

Doch ein Mensch ist ein Mensch, weil er träumt und fantasiert
Recognizing the unique qualities of humanity, like dreaming and imagining beyond what is immediately in front of us

Er ist oversexed und underfucked
Feeling a sense of imbalance or dissatisfaction in life, like being overstimulated but still feeling unsatisfied

Denn das Gras ist immer grüner auf der anderen Seite eines Tumblrblogs
Feeling like everyone else's life is better and more interesting than your own, like seeing the greener grass on the other side of a Tumblr blog

Und das in einer Stadt in der ein Denkmal von Sven Marquardt als Leuchtturm dient und dich beschützt vor'm Saufen auf dem Marktplatz
Observing the strange and quirky aspects of living in a city like Berlin, where a monument of Sven Marquardt, a famous bouncer, serves as a lighthouse to guide you away from drinking on the town square

Das in einer Stadt, in der scheinbar alles geht
Noticing the sense of limitless possibility in a city where it seems like anything is possible

Exzess und extrem – du bist stark, du bist schön!
Feeling powerful and beautiful in the face of excess and extremes in life

Und am 23. kehren wir zu unseren Eltern zurück und erzählen ihnen Lügen aus der Welt des Großstadtglücks
Going back to visit parents and family, but hiding the truth of the struggles and challenges faced when living in the big city

Verschweigen ihnen den Zweifel, greifen zu bei den Kartoffeln
Hiding doubts and uncertainties from family, and focusing on simple, comforting things like eating potatoes

Nacht zum 2. Weihnachtstag – Dorfdisko besoffen
Taking solace in the familiarity of certain traditions, like getting drunk at the local club on the night after Christmas

Und dann hoffen, dass es klappt, mit der Liebe, den Projekten
Hoping for success and love in life, despite the challenges and obstacles that may lie ahead

Angst vorm Mittelmaß, unbefriedigt, unperfekt
Feeling afraid of being average or mediocre, and dissatisfied with the imperfections and flaws in life

Porno-gifs, Konfetti-Regen und bedingungslose Liebe
Referencing the excess and extremes in modern life, from pornographic images to confetti raining down, and the hope for unconditional love throughout it all

Alles verschwindet zwischen miesen Perspektiven und steigender Miete
Feeling like everything is being lost or overshadowed by the struggles of everyday life, from bad perspectives to rising rent prices
