All die schönen Worte Lyrics (English Translation) – Kraftklub, Faber

[Verse 1: Felix]
Maybe I’ll fall in the mountains
Or sink in quicksand
Maybe I’ll go swimming in the sea
And then a shark will attack me
I never thought
That I’d have to die today
Sometimes the plane crashes
For others, a peanut is enough

[Pre-Chorus: Felix]
I thought I had all the time in the world

I still have my whole life
For a clarifying conversation, just the two of us
There’ll be time later
The paramedics want to save me
Treating me in the ambulance
I’m still trying to speak
But I can’t breathe anymore

[Chorus: Faber]
All those words never spoken
Now I’m gone, taking them to the grave
All those words gather dust
I really thought I’d speak them someday

[Verse 2: Felix]
Maybe I’ll go out into nature
Then something will kill me there Tree
Or I’m standing backstage
And dying of stage fright
Maybe I was too fast
And too vain for a helmet
One or two bumps in the road
And I’m no longer in this world

[Pre-Chorus: Felix]

I thought I had all the time in the world
I still have my whole life
For a clarifying conversation, just the two of us
There’ll be time later
The paramedics want to save me
Treating me in the ambulance
I’m still trying to speak
But I can’t breathe anymore

[Chorus: Faber]
All the words never spoken
Now I’m gone, taking them to the grave
All the words gather dust
I really thought I’d speak them someday
All the words never spoken
Now I’m gone and taking them to the grave
All the beautiful words grow old and gather dust
I really thought I’d speak them someday

[Post-Chorus: Faber]
All The beautiful words

[Outro: Faber]
Now I’m lying on the asphalt, the very last scene
Just a siren echoing through the streets
And I feel so light, 21 grams
And my life is over, even before it began
