Angst - Herbert Gronemeyer

Afraid of the past afraid you might fall

Retreating inside yourself in cold funk at it all

Afraid of any freedom of looking a fool

You skate on the surface afraid of the depth of the pool

Fear that you'll become nothing

And that time's running out

So afraid of getting used to things

Only fear remains beyond doubt

Fear that you'll become nothing

And the thought makes you numb

Angst makes you tiny

Angst strikes you dumb

Fear needs an armoury afraid of your foes

Oh but angst won't remind you most enemies are ghosts

So scared to be beaten so scared to compete

Scared of stupidity so smart on the streets

Fear gets employed as a system intimidation as control

Fear shuts up you eats the soul

Fear of each other too scared to connect

We won't meet each other's eyes all "i"s we suspect

Afraid of emotion scared of tenderness

Afraid that experience only leads to distress

Fear that you'll become nothing

And that time's running out

So afraid of getting used to things

Only fear remains beyond doubt

Fear that you'll become nothing

And the thought makes you numb

Angst makes you tiny

Angst strikes you dumb

Fear of manipulation of being left in the cold

Scared you don't do right by everyone fear eats the soul

Scared to defend ourselves scared and lonely we weep

So scared of being scared so scared we're asleep

So scared of being scared we go to sleep
