Green lace and the flood.

Yep new layout … I love the graphic. You like too? Speaking of which, as I was browsing Getty Images yesterday, I came across the following picture:

Same shirt

The girl has the exact same shirt that I do. I was like, hey, that looks familiar. Yay for Gap.

My new favorite song … “Die Flut” by Witt and Heppner:

Wenn ich in mir keine ruhe fuehl
Bitterkeit mein dunkles herz umspuelt
Ich nur warte auf den naechsten tag
Der mir erwacht

Wenn finsternis den klaren blick verhullt
Kein sinn mehr eine sehnsucht stillt
Ruf ich mir herbei den einen traum
Der sich niemals erfullt

Und du rufst in die nacht
Und du flehst um wundermacht
Um ne bessere welt zum leben
Doch es wird keine andere geben

Wann kommt die flut ueber mich
Wann kommt die flut, die mich berueht
Wann kommt die flut, die mich nit fortnimmt in ein anderes grosses leben
Irgendwo

All die zeit so schnell voruberzieht
Jede spur von mir wie staub zerfliegt
Endlos weit getrieben
Von unsichtbarer hand

Gibt es dort am kalten firmament
Nicht auch den stern, der nur fur mich verbrennt
Ein dumpfes leuchten, wie ein feuer in der nacht
Das nie vergeht

Und du siehst zum himmel auf
Fluchst auf den sturen zeitenlauf
Machst dir ne welt aus trug und schein
Doch es wird keine andere sein

Und du rufst in die welt
Das sie dir nicht mehr gefallt
Du willst ne schonere erleben
Doch es wird keine andere geben

And the translation (courtesy Brian):

If I feel no peace
Bitterness washed over my dark heart
I only wait for the next day
Which awakes me

If darkness veils the clear view
No more satisfies the longing
I call the dream to me
That never fulfills itself

And you call into the night
And you beg for wonderful power
To live in a better world
But no better one comes

When does the flood come over me
When comes the flood that calms me
When comes the flood that takes me away to a better life
Somewhere

All the time is quickly pulled by
Every trace of me flies like dust
Endlessly far floated
By an invisible hand

There no star on the cold earth
Which burns only for me
Dull shining, as a fire at night
Which never passes

And you look up to the sky
Swear at the stubborn passing of time
Make for yourself a world out of deceit and light
But it will be no different

And you call out to the world
That she does not please you any longer
You want a more beautiful one
But you will have no better

:grin: Hello, I’m a Korean girl who likes Rammstein a lot!
I came across the song “Die Flut”, sung by Achim Reichel and Till Lindemann of Rammstein. I didn’t know that Till had sung the song. But it’s good. At first, I couldn’t imagine Till singing this song… But Till has his another charisma in this song.
