[Intro]
Sometimes I lay crying for entire nights in my bed
I scratch my shoulders open, open, and that's about it
If my insides want out, my skin prevents it
And my skin prevents it, and my skin prevents it
[Chorus]
Do you feel that tick, -tick -tick -tick, -ticking in the atmosphere?
The end is still pretty far away, one thing, but yeah, when
Exactly it comes, how long it lasts, one forgets time and time again
But it doesn't matter because we know well that it's not coming now
[Refrain]
Not now, not now, not now
Not now, not now, not now
Not now, not now, not now
Not now, not now, not now
[Verse 1]
The columns full of suffering that we read while sunbathing
Are we soon forgottеn?
Otherwise we wouldn't darе live
The pedigree for violence which is anchored in our DNA
Did not count for us
However the rest was anchored long ago
A walk, a walk
Just go for a walk
And think sweetly to yourself:
"That only happens to others
"That violence only happens to others
"Never us, never us."
[Refrain]
Not now, not now, not now
Not now, not now, not now
Not now, not now, not now
Not now, not now, not now
[Verse 2]
Red hockey stick on my rug
Bike with a girlfriend back home
Dad sends: "Call me back then"
I think: "But we still have time?"
I think: "But I'm almost home"
Dad calls, stands on the dike
I say: "What?", dad sighs
"Mom's sickness is back"
It never comes here, not now
Never if it wasn't planned
On Wednesday, I already have something planned
That was known now for months
I have discussed the planning
Nothing fits there, leave me alone
There is still time, I am still young
So this stays here, it will never come
[Refrain]
Not now, not now, not now
Not now, not now, not now
Not now, not now, not now
Not now, not now, not now
[Chorus]
Do you feel that tick, -tick -tick -tick, -ticking in the atmosphere?
The end is still pretty far away, one things, but yeah, when
Exactly it comes, how long it lasts, one forgets time and time again
But it doesn't matter because we know well that it's not coming now
Do you feel that tick, -tick -tick -tick, -ticking in the atmosphere?
Misery still isn't there, but it still comes closer
So shrug your shoulders and brace yourself, prepare yourself for pain
Only when you are dead and buried are you completely free
