Übers Ende der Welt Lyrics

Wir sind durch die Stadt gerannt,
Ham keinen Ort mehr erkannt,
an dem wir nicht schon einmal waren.

Wir Ham alles ausprobiert,
die Freiheit endet hier,
wir müssen jetzt durch diese Wand.

Verlagern dein Gewicht,
den Abgrund siehst du nicht.

Achtung, fertig, los und Lauf,
vor uns bricht der Himmel auf.
Wir schaffen es zusammen,
Übers Ende dieser Welt,
die hinter uns zerfällt.

Wir schauen noch mal zurück,
es ist der letzte Blick,
auf alles, was für immer war.

Komm, atme noch mal ein,
es kann der Anfang sein,
der Morgen ist zum Greifen nah.

Verlagern dein Gewicht,
den Abgrund siehst du nicht.

Achtung, fertig, los und Lauf,
vor uns bricht der Himmel auf.
Wir schaffen es zusammen,
Übers Ende dieser Welt,
die hinter uns zerfällt.

Lass es alles hinter dir,
Es gibt nichts mehr zu verlieren.
Alles hinter dir und mir,
höhlt uns nicht mehr auf.

Verlagern dein Gewicht,
Guck mir ins Gesicht.

Achtung, fertig, los und Lauf,
vor uns bricht der Himmel auf.
Wir schaffen es zusammen,
Übers Ende dieser Welt,
die hinter uns zerfällt.

w00t I like this song, somehow. As far as my knowledge goes, I'm not very good at German, I think it's about an end of a chapter in world history, and today's youth standing up against everything. It reminds me of something apocalyptic, but I doubt Tokio Hotel would make a song about that.

why not? I think Tokio Hotel would def make a song about that.

Hmmm. I wish people could type out a real translation. It's annoying having to depend on the English translations that are twisted out of shape.

Okay, this is a literal translation for those who asked. I, in no way, claim to be good at German since I am teaching myself. (Hey, but this helped me learn a bit more!) But going pretty much word-for-word, this is what the translation is:

We ran through the city In no place more recognizable There is no place we weren't once already

We tried everything But our freedom ends here We must now go through this wall

Shift your weight The abyss can't see you here (? not sure about this, but abgrund=abyss, right?)

Attention, ready, let's go Before us, the sky breaks apart We create it together Over the end of the world We leave it all behind us

We look back again This is the last glimpse Of all that was forever there

Come, keep breathing once again It can be the beginning We grasp the morning near us

Shift your weight The abyss can't see you here

Attention, ready, let's go Before us, the sky breaks apart We create it together Over the end of the world We leave it all behind us

Leave it all behind you There's nothing left to lose Everything is behind us We can't stop further up (also unsure of this part! It didn't make much sense to me...the up part)

Shift your weight, Look me in the face

Attention, ready, let's go Before us, the sky breaks apart We create it together Over the end of the world We leave it all behind us

So, there you have it. Sorry if it doesn't make sense to you, but I tried. Also, as with many languages, certain things could have a different meaning there.

Anyway, as Bill himself said, this song is about going through life with a good friend or lover and getting past all the obstacles life throws at you ;) Great song, and I love the video to this one, too.

I usually like their German lyrics better I think, I like the "Attention, ready, let's go" better than the "ready, set, go"
