Sometimes I keep quiet.
Sometimes the fear of rejection
one stroke
by invoice
and I am in denial.
.
Sometimes I want to wear blindfolds,
blindly chasing after empty promises of state:
"We only let in professionals and those seeking protection."
I want to be as ignorant as the crowds,
instead of taking the step out of the system.
It's inconvenient to tell the truth.
.
"Truth" is only subjective anyway.
We prefer to follow the narrative.
Why use your head?
They say we're just dividing society.
Instead, we submit to the collective.
Obedience is attractive.
.
More and more often I don't talk.
More and more, I'm afraid of rejection...
one stroke
by invoice
and I am in denial.
.
The left hand looks to the right for us.
They want to defend antifascism.
They want to protect the constitution.
you put those to the test,
who are providing us with annoying facts
alternative ways of thinking.
.
To resist would be recklessness.
The sword of the great state protects us from gaining power
of the alleged right-wing fascists.
No one can outsmart centralized state power.
Loss of sovereignty is something I can accept.
Trade freedom for a pretended order and madness.
.
Most of the time, I keep quiet.
Most of the time, the fear of rejection...
one stroke
by invoice
and I am in denial.
.
Equality makes us all richer.
As long as I'm still the same!
It's "The world is at your feet!"
The patriarchy should pay for me.
My body is not a child's memory.
It's easier to be a token doll.
.
Educate me, grand government!
Adaptation is a safeguard against degradation.
In the stream, we float with the dead fish.
In the shoal, no critic can escape us.
What should I think? Form my opinion!
The opportunist in me will appear well-behaved.
.
Stop.
Do I really want this?
Since when am I a hypocrite?
Was I not once brave?
.
The protester becomes an instrument of his government.
Totalitarianism disguises itself as globalisation.
Diversity is blurred to a shade of grey.
.
Sometimes I remain silent.
Sometimes the fear of rejection
one stroke
by invoice
and I am in denial.
.
But if I don't get out of the silence spiral,
then no one does.
.
Out of sheer cowardice...
...we shall retire to immaturity.
It is enough when one
freed his courage and confidence
and speaks.
