A video I made about the German rockband Panik (formerly known as nevada tan), who were deceived by their producers/managers, and because of that had to change their bandname.
Song: Panik - wegweis
...
er
the first 20 seconds aren't subtitled, they are news reports about them changing their name.
translation of the song:
Its two at night
I'm awake
fresh back from a gig
again too much business
Too many flashlights
and its not here any more
The energy from the day
Used up
Again exhausted I fall into bed
All the aggression pent up
calm on the outside
I have been hiding behind the façade of my smile
and horrified, I realise I forget
how the air tastes to me at home
many times I have the feeling life passes me by
everywhere the same s***, just power, money, & envy
and at the moment there is nobody who I forgive
I'm sorry
'the business is hard'
every day another ass who tells me that
and i endure the stuck-up coke-sniffing noses
no more
so many gold-digging brides who love me
but who sees more in me
than just the rapper?
i want to get away from here
so listen
the air burns
scars into the neck
(i try to escape but lose)
this look doesn't leave me alone anymore
(its stuck to me like a shadow)
when i lie awake
i stare at the TV
and have to throw up
something isn't right
and i can't believe it
even at night you won't leave me alone
again i run to the toilet
again i feel dead
again i need salvation
but no salvation comes
to this need
come on!
we were discovered in 2006
opressed by our producers
and signed the crap
the tramps drank champagne
the situation seemed perfect
horrified we found out
how the air tastes here
We were a Rock act in the Pop world
it shocked us
between coke and cocktails
music becomes money,and quickly,
especially for you
that's what this was called,
playback instead of festival
instead of music we did politics
because someone said that without them
we would never become something
And how should we get out,
then we signed the contracts
Chorus
