Schrei - English

this song is kinda funny when it's translated =)

But I think tokio hotel is cool, because they have some funny things to say sometimes ( in interviews) And they rokcs a lot more than some of those brat-american dolls hwo run around with there heads way up in there a*****

The RIGHT lyric is this one:

You get up And somebody tells you where to go to When you get ther evereybody's telling you what to do Thank you it's been another bloody monday And no one is asking what you wanted anyway No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no (2x)

Scream! Till you feel it Scream! Till you believe it Scream! And when it hurts you Scream it out loud! ........ Scream..

Watch out! Stay awake, they're lurkin' Obsess you, they're always working Promising, Everything you never asked for And one day it'll be too late and you'll beg for more

No no ... etc.

Chorus

Back to zero, Your time's about to come Let them know, You're not just anyone

Scream..

Your time's about to come

Chorus

Shut up! (silence)

No! Cos you feel it No! Cos you believe it No! And when it hurts you Scream it out loud! No. no. no. no. no. no Scream it out loud.... Scream!!

I took this letterly from the album ^^ There is a little book in it with lyrics ;) Soo.. no complaining that this lyric is wrong! xD

Chow..

xxImkexx, just because that is the english version of the song, doesn't mean it's a direct translation of the german one, which is what these lyrics are posted as.

The german version, as usual, makes more sense than the english one, it seems! Makes me wish I'd not dropped german!

Yeah. Uh. These lyrics are wrong D;

BUUUUT This song is amazing. As well as most Tokio hotel songs..

The lyrics aren't wrong. These are just translations of the German song, Schrei. The lyrics that xxImkexx posted are the lyrics to Scream, which is a whole 'nother story.

Ohk well now that everyone has established that there is indeed a direct translation, which I think is interesting, and then the actual english song, we should decide on a meaning.

I believe this song is about everyone always telling you what to do in life because they know whats best and finally you say f***k you, because you really are the only one that knows whats best for you.

Well that's what I think it may be or is close to :) any improvements to my suggestion ?

I hate the english version. Mostly because I hate the fact that Americans HAVE to be right. I found Tokio Hotel a looooong time ago, before they had a CD in english. And I learned this song, because I was in German class.

Aside that...I detest American fans who don't bother to check out the German CDs. It sounds better anyways.

Regardless, I just wanted to be mean. I don't want to be redundant.

I agree. The German is a thousand times better. Even when directly translated ! But it's nice to hear some of it in English too. Honestly I can live with both aspects of their music happily. It's also true that, yes, I only became a fan of them after they released Ubers Ende Der Welt into the English version Ready, Set, Go. But after I heard that song I downloaded ALL their songs including the German ones.

PS; German isn't offered as a second language in Canada so I had no way to find them unless I heard it in English first or knew someone who was German or had some form of way to know about everything universal. Which is impossible.

Excuse me, I really don't get the part where they said "Promising everything you never asked for" Does that mean that they get the things they don't want to? Or the people making them do what they never wanted to do? Or people promising bad things?

i'm not sure if you all noticed but this internet site is called ''song meanings'' these lyrics are what the song means it is the right lyrics because it's a direct translation the english version is not direct translation it is was fits in with the music so stop saying these lyrics are wrong because they're not
