Astronaut by Anna Depenbusch
Original lyrics here
Speechless and quiet, you go on a journey
Weightless, you see circles through all the dark blue
You stare into the distance, you need only the stars
Astronauts like to be alone
And if all this explodes tonight
You never really risked
Losing something, losing somebody
because you don’t care about anything
Man is ordinary
And to these idiots, a small world is merely second best
Still, you torture yourself, you toss and turn in bed
You don’t sleep, you don’t eat anymore
You move, you’re so stuck but then you move through time and space
Because you cannot stop
And you don’t want to miss anything
What has worn out your heart so?
Between planets you play Blind Man’s Bluff
This view, this light is indescribable
You race towards rockets and colorful comets
The only thing you don’t see the life below
Because you stare into the distance, you need only the stars
Astronauts like to be entirely alone
You dream of adventures with monsters
Aliens, dragons, and all manner of things
Astronauts must be incredibly brave
Still when we, and everything here, explodes tonight
You have nothing to lose
Because you don’t care about anything
Man is ordinary
And because nothing is worth anything
You feel empty
And you feel so dark and cold, like the moon
