Fassade - 1. Satz

Lacrimosa Lacrimosa

Facade - Part 1

Don't look at me!
I'm not an animal!
Just a human child - to you a strange being - maybe
With eyes and ears
A heart and a lot of feeling
And still with a clear and free mind!
Maybe I'm just a shadow
That wants to darken your plan
Maybe I'm a storm
Whose rain quietly quenches some seeds' thirst for growth

Shut down - the people - machines - and see -
In step - they march - without - a thought and -
They believe - together - to be different - and -
Completely unique - completely free and - self-determined - to be

Don't look at me!
Deep inside you, cast your gaze!
It's not the others who are the culprits - poisoning this world
No - everyone fights and struggles and shapes this life
And when you speak
Whose spirit is the content of your many words?
Have you ever been at the edge between heart and mind?
Can you say: I am learning myself?
Your terrible foolishness
To believe what they tell you:
Naturalness and self-determination
But only within the framework of this society's system

Shut down - the people - machines - and see -
In step - they march - without - a thought and -
They believe - together - to be different - and -
Completely unique - completely free and - self-determined - to be

Why facade?
Isn't there enough selfishness in the world?
Isn't there enough self-interest that masks self-hatred?
Isn't it enough that everyone is next to each other and doesn't
understand?
That the walls of loneliness are those of selfishness?

Don't look at me!
I'm not an animal!
Just a human child - to you a strange being - maybe
With eyes and ears
A heart and a lot of feeling
And still with a clear and free mind?
