Insekten im Eis (feat. Jupiter Jones)

We lay unsuspecting in the grass, whatever grows
when time stands still and silent
Raindrops defy, twilight, gaze high on clouds,
but the air turned cold and late
We let our wishes rise
like kites, just without a string
If we wanted to reach for them later,
we only reached into emptiness

A chilly wind already blew around your smile
I looked one time too many and went blind

And then winter came and everything was white
We were trapped like insects in the ice
With salt in our eyelashes, with roaring ears
and all our colors we have lost
Because then winter came and everything was white
We were trapped like insects in the ice
Insects in the ice
Insects in the ice

We warmed our hands with conversations
and got cold feet from wanting too much
We stayed seated and the plans remained sketches,
remained gaps in the records
And the conversations became fragile like withered leaves
With the last sentence you spoke, I went deaf

And then winter came and everything was white
We were trapped like insects in the ice
With salt in our eyelashes, with roaring ears
and all our colors we have lost
Because then winter came and everything was white
We were trapped like insects in the ice
Insects in the ice

I didn't recognize myself when I stood in blossoms
I didn't recognize myself
I felt quite queasy when I stood in blossoms
I didn't recognize myself
And only at the end did I realize:
The blossoms were timeless and poisonous

And then winter came and everything was white
We were trapped like insects in the ice
With salt in our eyelashes, with roaring ears
and all our colors we have lost
Then winter came and everything was white
We were trapped like insects in the ice
With salt in our eyelashes, with roaring ears
and all our colors we have lost

We were trapped like insects in the ice
We were trapped and scared and abandoned
Then winter came and everything was white
We were trapped like insects in the ice
