Leichtes Gepäck
Silbermond
Light Luggage
One day you realize
That you don’t need 99%
You take all that baggage
And throw it away
'Cause it’s easier to travel
With light luggage
You look around your apartment, see
A cabinet full of useless stuff, see
The result of buying and buying things
That you think you’ll need someday, see
So many clothes that you
Never wore and that you
Will never wear and
Yet they stay with you
Too many cobwebs and too much junk
Too much old crap in Tupperware
And one day you realize
That you don’t need 99% of it
You take all that baggage
And throw it away
'Cause it’s easier to travel
With light luggage, with light luggage
Not just your little
Plastic storage shed, but
The army of junk and neuroses
Growing on your soul
More and more, it’s always sucking blood from your throat
How great it would be to get rid of it all
Throw it all in a pile with lighter fluid and kindling
And it blazes and burns so beautifully
A fire visible for miles
And one day you realize
That you don’t need 99% of it
You take all that baggage
And throw it away
'Cause it’s easier to travel
With light luggage, with light luggage
From today on, only the important things
From today on, only the important things
From today on, only the important things
From today on, only light luggage
'Cause one day, you realize
It’s little that you really need
So you take the baggage
And throw it away
'Cause it’s better to live
So much better
With light luggage
All the crap from yesterday
All the scars
All the bills that were overdue for way too long
Let them go, just throw them away
'Cause it’s easier to travel
With light luggage
