Translation of the song lyrics Leben - Heimataerde

Leben (original)

Wie viele Menschen wissen, das sie leben?
Wie viele Menschen wissen, das sie wirklich leben?
I feel like a hole.
My head is heavy
The world it creased me, it’s so great
´Cause I’m in me, a world for myself
Showing to no one no matter who
Everything is passing me like in a scene
And in my role, there is nothing
I don’t know where I belong to
And I am frightened of this
Leben, was ist das, ich weiß es nicht
Leben, Leben, Leben, Leben
Leben, was ist das, ich weiß es nicht
Leben geben
Leben nehmen
I lived my life to be free
That’s what I’ve been taught to be
And my whole body is a prison
Where I have no chance to escape from
Well I can see, hear and feel
But even though useless for life
And all my life I’m lost in the nightmare
Where I have no chance to awake from

Leben (translation)

How many people know they're alive?
How many people know they're really alive?
I feel like a hole.
My head is heavy
The world it creased me, it's so great
'Cause I'm in me, a world for myself
Showing to no one no matter who
Everything is passing me like in a scene
And in my role, there is nothing
I don't know where I belong to
And I am frightened of this
Life, what is it, I don't know
Live, live, live, live
Life, what is it, I don't know
give life
take life
I lived my life to be free
That's what I've been taught to be
And my whole body is a prison
Where I have no chance to escape from
Well I can see, hear and feel
But even though useless for life
And all my life I'm lost in the nightmare
Where I have no chance to wake up from
