Tausend Tattoos

For you
For you
For you

I wear a thousand tattoos on my skin
An astronaut and a saw blade
(For you) all full and you also like it
So I don't forget who I'm doing it for
(For you) ten thousand tattoos that I have
A skull mask and a saw blade
(For you) all full and you also have a place
So I don't forget who I'm doing it for (for you)
How old am I? Dude, don't ask

I've been doing this slowly for as long as my beard is
I've been in the tropics, the Andes, and the Arctic
Ready everywhere, as if there was something free
Occasionally I was stupid, not particularly nice
But let's be honest, none of this was dramatic
I mean, you know me, if something bothers me, I'll say it
But I tell you too rarely, 'Nice that you're here!'
That's why I write it down, sometimes in black, sometimes in color
Where there's a heart now, there used to be a scar
And there's your name, I wear it with pride and that's
My way of telling you, it's nice that you're here
I wear a thousand tattoos on my skin
An astronaut and a saw blade

(For you) all full and you also like it
So I don't forget who I'm doing it for
(For you) ten thousand tattoos that I have
A skull mask and a saw blade
(For you) all full and you also have a place

So I don't forget who I'm doing it for (for you)
I have a cassette on my arm
Which means I haven't lost my old values
And because my grandpa always said, 'Remember that behind your ears!'
Today I have these stars behind my ear
Everything I like, I have tattooed
The rest unfortunately escapes my interest
And yes, I admit, sometimes I smoke too much
Which means I forget a lot
That's why I write it down, sometimes in black, sometimes in color
Where there's a heart now, there used to be a scar
And there's your name, I wear it with pride and that's
My way of telling you, it's nice that you're here
I wear a thousand tattoos on my skin
An astronaut and a saw blade

(For you) all full and you also like it
So I don't forget who I'm doing it for
(For you) ten thousand tattoos that I have

A skull mask and a saw blade
(For you) all full and you also have a place
So I don't forget who I'm doing it for (for you)

I've been at the bottom and at the top
I've drowned and flown
I have a souvenir from everywhere
Even if the leaf turns again
And everything ends once
I say, 'The main thing is, you're here!' (for you)
I've been at the bottom and at the top
I've drowned and flown
I have a souvenir from everywhere
Even if the leaf turns again
And everything ends once
I say, 'The main thing is, you're here!'

I do all this (for you)
I wear a thousand tattoos on my skin
An astronaut and a saw blade

(For you) all full and you also like it
So I don't forget who I'm doing it for
(For you) ten thousand tattoos that I have
A skull mask and a saw blade

(For you) all full and you also have a place
So I don't forget who I'm doing it for (for you)
For you, for you, for you
I do all this (for you)
For you, for you, for you
I do all this (for you)

For you
For you
