Eternity
[Hook]
Life is fun, yes, you're a celebrity, yeah
Eating golden apples, fucking beautiful women
6,000 mph and you're still flooring it
Never need to sleep again for you're living the dream
But what are girls, cash, pretty things, a pretty Benz in white good for?
All that fancy shit is over
You're standing in front of a 100,000 fans and you know:
Eventually the moment is gone
And all I really wanted was eternity1
[Part 1]
Fuck money, fuck bitches and a stressful career
I wasn't signed by Ape Records for my bedroom skills
Fuck platinum records, fuck this business, this is all temporary
Got not time, this is my ticket to eternity
If I'm lucky, I got 70 years left
To prevent my soul from drifting for miles
Weightlessly into nothingness, please, Lord, stand by me
So I'll have more than a trophy left when this life ends
Yeah, yeah, I know, time is short
But believe me, a couple megabytes are enough to make a difference
It's late, I know, sorry, I'm still looking for a rhyme
Go ahead and tell them there's gonna be a heap
Of new things that will make people remember who I was
Back then with the MPC, from my room to the charts
I'm convinced you can only win if you take risks
The world is not enough, I'm hitchhiking for Mars
[Hook]
Life is fun, yes, you're a celebrity, yeah
Eating golden apples, fucking beautiful women
6,000 mph and you're still flooring it
Never need to sleep again for you're living the dream
But what are girls, cash, pretty things, a pretty Benz in white good for?
All that fancy shit is over
You're standing in front of a 100,000 fans and you know:
Eventually the moment is gone
And all I really wanted was eternity
[Bridge]
And now I see much clearer
I'm not scared to die
'Cause I will live forever
I will be alive
In this moment
For eternity, for eternity
[Outro]
As quick as it came it will eventually be gone
That's why I'm living every day as if it were the last
Life isn't long, it's gonna be over someday
That's why I'm striving for eternity every day
- 1. "Unendlichkeit" actually means "infinity" (spatial) whereas "eternity" (timelike) would be "Ewigkeit". Since Cro is using "eternity" in the English bridge, I have translated it as such.
