ie ist habe das paranoia von Eine teenager- 

mädchen ihren teddybären verlieren in der 

große weite welt und wann sie erkennt, dass es  

für immer verschwunden sie kann  

nicht anders als zu zittern, aber es hilft nie, es so zu tun.    

 

und diese knabenden stimmen in ihrem Kopf  

manchmal weiß sie nicht was sie sagten in einer  

minute zerschmettert sie ihre träume. oder also  

es scheint. 

 

English translation 

 

She’s got the paranoia of a teenage girl losing  

her teddy bear in the big wide world and when 

she realises that it’s gone forever, she cannot 

help but shiver. But it never helps to do it that 

way, not today.   

 

And those niggling voices inside her head. 

Sometimes she don’t know what they said in 

one minute there shattering her dreams. Or so 

it seems, or so it seems, or so it seems.
