look at yourself in the mirror - are you enjoying it?
do you use your head? or just its hull which assumes where to go?
(take) one look at the form of the society, (it's) often so lifeless, smells like chloroforme.
so many ways (are) notched/predefined, personalities (are) stamped (by it) - or (even) stamped (until they're) broken.
climbing up a little isn't that hard and (so) the view is not blocked by the plate's edge anymore.
(one/you) didn't get (that) it's the inside which defines yourself. it's (about) the question if you're taking all that shit or if you're reminding yourself of what you really miss.
climbing up a little isn't that hard and (so) the view is not blocked by the plate's edge anymore.
'to climb/look over the plate's edge' is a german metaphor for not to be restricted by one's thinking.
a english metaphor with a similar meaning could be 'to not see further than the end of one's nose'
this is my own translation - there might be an official one in the booklet of their discography, but i'm not sure. just keep in mind that i translated it and for that reason a couple of the expressions used here might kinda got losted in translation.
