Verletzlich

[02:08.50] Wie weit les' ich diese Zeilen
[02:16.49] Bis ich verdräng'
[02:24.35] Wie klein und unbedeutend
[02:32.34] Diese Worte sind
[02:40.32] In den Sternen diese Weiten sehend
[02:48.23] Nicht zu verstehen
[02:56.56] Eine Feder gegen Urgewalten
[03:04.15] Will keiner seh'n
[03:44.66] Doch sind es diese weiten Leeren
[03:52.31] Die ich betrachten will
[04:00.56] So fühl' ich mich mir selbst am nächsten
[04:08.51] Bis ich verletzt im Bilde lieg'
[04:16.60] "Well, because, people nearly always believe
[04:21.06] That the distortions of them are
[04:25.38] An injury to them no matter
[04:27.48] How much they feel for
[04:30.33] Or how much they like you they
[04:33.22] Do nevertheless as most of
[04:35.47] Them are not people who are
[04:37.06] Concerned with art, feel
[04:39.14] The distortions are forms of injury"
[04:42.07] "Don't you think that instinct
[04:45.52] Is propably right?" "Possibly"
[04:48.26] Doch sind es diese weiten Leeren
[04:56.28] Die ich betrachten will
[05:04.26] So fühl' ich mich mir selbst am nächsten
[05:12.25] Bis ich verletzt im Bilde lieg'
[05:20.24] Now of course, man can only attempt
[05:23.94] To make something very very positive
[05:26.80] By trying to beguile himself for a time
[05:32.49] By the way he behaves by prolonging possibly his life
[05:37.54] By buying a kind of immortality
[05:42.40] Through the doctors
[05:44.03] All art has now become
[05:46.49] Completely a game
[05:48.52] By which man distracts himself
[05:52.56]
