Anestetická 02:49
(English translation below) Podívám se na zoubek řekněte mi: ááá věř mi, vím co dělám já na to studoval Jsem tvoje injekce anestetická koukni se do očí jistota Koukni se do očí jistota -- Let me take a closer look at that tooth say: "aaaaah" trust me, i know what I'm doing I am well trained I am your shot of anesthetic look me in the eye I am confident Look me in the eye I am confident

Fields folding in an army of beetles shelter from thin grass stalks wind blowing tickles Hands on grass, eyes on sky half-open, see through a flock of birds passing by sun making freckles Sandcastles washing off weird sculptures shatter all kids them have gone home hair full of summer

Show Her 01:37
Show her all your plans smile and stroke her hair kiss her on her face show her you will stay She's all worth it, go! let her fly again never shout her name show her you will stay Show her you will stay

(English version below) Ich balanciere deine Kugel, mit meiner linken Hand Ich kann dich spüren wie Du zitterst und Mit meiner rechten Hand Die Blase dich durchläuft Ich kreuze deine Halsschlagader Dein Blut hat Vorfahrt Deren Ende ich am Horizont erahnen kann Am anderen Ufer bin ich nackt, doch ich friere nicht Ich halte dich Mit meiner linken Hand Mit meiner rechten Hand Ich balanciere deine Kugel, mit meiner linken Hand Wir kommen jetzt ans Zentrum der Partei Ich bin hier lange nicht gewesen, und ich bringe dich Mit meiner rechten Hand Ich halte dich Ich zeige dich Ich halt' dich Noch nicht Wir applizieren neue Werte Der Himmel ist jetzt jeden Abend frei Die lange Reise wird vergessen Wir sterben nicht und fühlen nichts dabei Die neue Welt kennt keine Wände Den Blick richten wir nur geradeaus Wir sterben nicht und fühlen nichts dabei -- I balance your sphere, in my left hand I can feel how you shiver, and with my right hand how the bubble runs through you I cross your carotid artery your blood has the right of way whose end I can intuit at the horizon On the other shore I am naked, but I don’t freeze I’m holding you with my left hand with my right hand I balance your sphere, in my left hand We are getting closer to the center of the party I haven't been here in a long time, and I bring you with my right hand I’m holding you I’m showing you I hold you not yet We apply new values The sky is clear now, every night The long journey is being forgotten We don’t die, and we don’t feel anything The new world knows no walls We gaze only straight ahead We don’t die, and we don’t feel anything

Lost 03:01
(English version below) Rum froze long ago we got stuck in snow Je to nepřehledný Beze strachu pustit žilou duše temná duše moje Po obloze potemnělý plujou jenom slepý noty benzínky jsou v nedohlednu Je to nepřehledný Rum je dávno zamrzlej Zapadli jsme sněhem bez něhy a téměř na dno duše temná duše tvoje Beze strachu pustit žilou duše temná duše moje -- Rum froze long ago we got stuck in snow It is unclear With no fear, bleed it out dark soul, soul of mine The darkened sky the blind notes flow gas stations not in sight It is unclear Rum froze long ago We got stuck in snow without tenderness and near the bottom dark soul, soul of yours With no fear, bleed it out dark soul, soul of mine

It's like people in a hurry in the city it's like waiting waiting for the delayed train it's like stopping after every twenty minutes then things don't seem to sit, no not, so straight It's like monkeys going up and down the tree branch it's like zebras running before heavy rain it's like trying to get rid of every thought of you don't seem to sit, no not, so straight Show me you can slow down sit here, for a change look out of the window reconvalescence makes sense Show me you can slow down sit here, for a change look out of the window Such a tiny black hole c'mon, pull, it's not so grave you just brushed against reconvalescence
