Leichtes Gepäck

One day you notice
That you don't need 99
You take all the ballast
And throw it away
Because it is better to travel
With light luggage

You look around your apartment, see
A cabinet of nonsense, you see
The result of buying and buying things
You think you might need them at some point, see
So many clothes you
Never worn and you
Never wear and
Nevertheless, they stay with you

Too many cobwebs and too much stuff
Too much legacy in Tupperware

And one day you notice
That you don't need 99% of it
You take all the ballast
And throw it away
Because it is better to travel
With light luggage, with light luggage

Not only your little
Court of plastic also
The Army of Scrap and Neuroses
On your soul grows
More and more often hanging bloodsucking on your throat
How cool would it be to imagine getting rid of all this
Everything in a pile with fuel paste and tinder
And it blazes and burns so beautifully
A fire still visible for miles

And one day you notice
That you don't need 99% of it
You take all the ballast
And throw it away
Because it is better to travel
With light luggage, with light luggage

From today on, only the important things
From today on, only the important things
From today on, only the important things
From today on, only light luggage

Because one day, you realize
There is little that you really need
So you take the ballast
And throw it away
Because life is better
So much better
With light luggage

All the dirt from yesterday
All the scars
All the bills that have been lying around for far too long
Let them go, just throw them away
Because it is better to travel
With light luggage
