Someday (Goals)
English translation by Indira, AI assistant. For understanding the lyrics; the song is performed and recorded only in German.
Someday this world may have had enough of all
the greed and envy and suffering and all the hopelessness.
Someday everything is cold and old, and nobody knows forests or support;
all they say is forward, pleasure and frustration and everything else you must do.
Someday back means front, and one more shot means one more horn,
flashed by all the glitter, while the future sits behind the stove,
crouching there, stubborn, no longer tempted out.
Someday so worn, so gloomy, so slow: would dignity die if dignity became
what the world angrily wants?
Someday everything gets too much.
Where is the goal, where is the goal?
One step too far,
long since past eternity,
past, past, past...
Flown past the days when speaking found ears,
when the world had not yet lost the hope that goals offered.
And possessions long since gambled away, aimed away, run through many hands;
all just a sack of rice, yet the price offered was accepted at once.
Missed the moment when you could almost finally grasp the sun;
falling on, quickly realised that time passed while you basked in it.
Eternity at the other end, where you would stand if, in the end,
you found your way out of this today, where more and more want more and more.
Too much, too much, too much...
Where is the goal, where is the goal?
One step too far,
long since past eternity,
past, past, past...
