I've often hit the nail on the head And yet I was merely strangled I've often called the voice of my life And yet it was merely the past If I should see the future beaming with joy I will forgive myself Tell me the meaning of my life Tell me the meaning of forgiveness Tell me the meaning of my d**h And why I'm a murderer I've often dared, but defeat caught my eye So many years I believed in myself All these years without any success
All these years without, like a dilettante Tell me the meaning of my life Tell me the meaning of forgiveness Tell me the meaning of my d**h And why I'm a murderer A whole life full of mistakes A whole life in order to resist My tears are filling up an ocean A character in a play Always the same things in my hand Tell me the meaning of my life Tell me the meaning of forgiveness Tell me the meaning of my d**h And why I'm a murderer
