Alexander Veljanov - Nie Mehr

If you like Deine Lakaien, you'll like this song. This is the vocalist from the band's solo project, and even though he's not German, he sings in German sometimes on his solo CDs - even though he doesn't for Deine Lakaien's CDs despite the fact that the other guy in that band is German... oh well. But this counts as German music because he's singing in German and is also in a German band and I think he recorded this in Germany and... yeah. Well, I love this song musically, and I love the lyrics (I can definitely connect to them). And I like how emotional the acting in the video is, even though the video's very simple... Yeah, I should stop obsessing. :)




Lyrics Translation:

Will you return
waiting was all vain
I was down
almost out of my mind, breathless
eyelids heavy
dull the gloss of tired eyes
repeatedly
secondhand pictures

Already let myself down
There I layed on the ground
mockery in return
laughed at
in your name

I lay awake
night after night
counted the hours
passing by without sense
no feeling
I loved pale lies
from the land of mediocrity
I wanted you

And you aren't here
don't want to yearn anymore
just throw it all away

Don't return
Stay where the sun
shines for you forever
All gold in the world
Felicity
this is what I wish you
what I wish you
But please stay away from me
Heaven only knows
only knows
what's hidden in you
But please stay away from me
please stay away from me
and cross it out
my name
cross it out forever
cross it out, please
please cross it out

And you aren't here
won't yearn anymore
Throw it all away
Over and done
Won't beg anymore
Go with God, but go!

Eternity
Mediocrity
spoiled brilliance
over and done

Don't return
please don't return
over and done
Night after night
Over and done
Night after night
Won't beg anymore
Throw it all away
And you aren't here
Won't yearn anymore
Go with God, but go!

Won't beg anymore
Throw it all away
Over and done
Won't beg anymore
Go with God, but go!
