Einstürzende Neubauten - Kein Bestandteil Sein (1987) from Elias Aquino on Vimeo.

keine Schönheit ohne Gefahr

Once again
at the edge
so close to the edge
ready
from one or the other
side to fall
damned fall
damned fall
don't grab on
listen!
no beauty without danger
without danger
no beauty without danger
without danger
danger
at the edge
damned fall
fall
fallen
fallen without danger
no beauty without danger
no beauty without danger
and no love
also no love
without danger
without danger
without danger

6!

youme knows what meyou wants, 

meyou knows what youme wants, 

and it's granted

they defend each other against the past

if the future isn't bright at least it's colourful

so burn the ship come spring

ein anderer Wind, ein neues Lied

How Did I Die? from neubauten.org on Vimeo.

tagelang weiß

herzschwanger. in erwartung.

Boreas

thaw. unfreezing.

Will the dwindling ice bear our weight much longer?

calm. windless.

When comes the wind that billows our words' sails?

heart pregnant. in expectation.

Will it be a south wind that drives us to the north?

small ice age. foundlings.

Or will only Boreas get us on

the desired course?

in no time.

What nameless others does the storm which seizes us now already carry?

only glacier comrades

Is it certain that the land in sight is not part of the Arctic?

it's already taken so long...

[original:

tauwetter. schmelzfvorgänge.

Schwindet unter uns nicht allmählich das tragende Eis?
flaute. windstill.
Wann kommt der Wind der unsrer Worte Segel bläht ?
herzschwanger. in erwartung.
Wird es ein Südwind sein der uns nach Norden treibt?
kleine eiszeit. findlinge.
Oder bringt uns nur Boreas auf den Kurs den Wünschenswerten?
im nu.
Welche namelosen Anderen schon trägt der Sturm der uns jetzt fasst?
nur gletschergenossen
Ist es sicher, dass das Land in Sicht nicht noch Teil der Arktis ist?

es dauert doch so lange schon...]

manchmal...

Sehnsucht ist die einzige energie

Question(s) to self

- What is left of the ideas and things you were trying to do?
- Look at every scar that I have... I am the result of all the things you have been doing (...) so the silence is sexy is not the opposite of the unbelievable noise - is the result of all the stuff that we were doing.

Blixa Bargeld*
(as a result...)

unless...

You will find me waiting through spring and summer
You will find me waiting waiting for the fall
You will find me waiting for the apples to ripen
You will find me waiting for them to fall
You will find me by the banks of all four rivers
You will find me at the spring of conciousness
You will find me if you want me in the garden
unless it's pouring down with rain

In der Enklave meines Herzens

in der Enklave meines Herzens
in der ich mich verlier
(...)
Zwei grosse schwarze Raben
fressen die Pflaumen aus dem Baum
Ob die andre Stadt mich lieb hat ...?
(...)
Komm mich mal besuchen
ich hab’ unendlich Zeit
und der Blick der ist vom Feinsten
über Wolken und die Stadt

Blixa Bargeld
[live oder nicht]


(in the enclave of my heart
where I lose myself
(...)
Two large black ravens
devouring the plums in the tree
I wonder if the other city cares for me...
(...)
Come and pay me a visit 
I have unlimited time
and the view is most lovely
over the clouds and the town)

S.s fragil herz

dein schnelles herz wenn ich dich halte
ich hab’ dich unglücklich erwischt

festhalten

Mature mild-mannered catastrophes

"But they don't use the word
once dropped it might break

They do not say that they have loved
for who can say
We were killed yesterday"

"Isto, aparentemente, não significa nada e, no entanto, faz-nos vibrar como cordas."*

 

*António Lobo Antunes

It really proves nothing

"Just listen to me breathe
but that proves nothing

In the middle of my circles
but their centre I am not

motionless
waiting
waiting"

ich hab’ dich unglücklich erwischt

B.

bleib
bleib
bleib
bleib
es fehlen stäbe, stäbe fehlen
die zwischenräume sind gross genug
dein schnelles herz wenn ich dich halte
ich hab’ dich unglücklich erwischt
bleib
bleib
bleib
bleib
ich kann dich nicht
am fliegen hindern
aber selbst zwei kontinente weiter
noch singen hören
bleib
bleib
bleib

[stay
stay
stay
stay
bars are missing, missing bars
the gaps between are big enough
your rapid heart when I hold you
I caught you in a bad way
stay
stay
stay
I cannot
stop you flying
but even two continents away
can still hear you singing
stay
stay

A labyrinth without walls

There is a labyrinth 

but it has no walls

there are no exit signs

no arrows, no red lines

and there is you and me

goes without saying

Where would you go without me?

We have to make decisions

before it gets too dark

the sunset is behind us

we're facing terra incognita

it's still hard to make decisions

in a labyrinth without walls

But where would you go without me?

Make up your mind

by chance or intuition

you can't just turn around 

stand motionless and wait

I could follow you 

or you could follow me

In this labyrinth 

without it's walls

where no ways are clearly marked

we find untrodden paths

we as you and me

goes without saying

And where would you go without me?

Melancholia, mon cher

"Alles nur künftige Ruinen
Material für die nächste Schicht

Mela, Mela, Mela, Mela, Melancholia
Melancholia, mon cher
Mela, Mela, Mela, Mela, Melancholia
schwebt über der neuen Stadt
und über dem Land"

"Ich bin das letzte Biest am Himmel
Ich bin das letzte Biest am Himmel
Halt mich fest, ich trockne aus
Es zerfällt mein Licht
Halt mich fest im Zenit"
