[English]
LED go!
Bitcoins are the future, but I’m not in it (LED go)
Too much aspirin, that’s over now (LED go)
Today I’ll drink water, but this time with feeling
Hare-Hare-Krishna, Krishna-Krishna-Hare
(LED go) You’ve got a big future, but I’m not in it (LED go)
Way too much spirit, I think I’ll stay at home (LED go)
I don’t need any information, maybe just some lotion
I’d rather lie down in ‘In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida’
(La la la la) Oh, I’m so free
(La la la) But being free also means being alone
(La la la la) Love is the place to be
(La la la) I’m ready for this galaxy
Five thousand likes
But never as cool as Mike, whoa
...
I love being in you, baby
You love being with me, babe
I love being with you, boo
You love being on me, boo
I love being in you, baby
You love being with me, babe
I love being with you, baby
Oh yeah, woo
(La la la la) Oh, I’m so free
(La la la) But being free also means being alone
(La la la la) Love is the place to be
(La la la) I’m ready for this galaxy
...
You’re already thinking about tomorrow in your tragic life (LED go)
Come on, let’s play frisbee and form a circle (LED go)
There’s only one culture and it knows no nation (LED go)
This cold world needs more approximation
...
(La la la la) Oh, I’m so free
(La la la) But being free also means being alone
(La la la la) Love is the place to be
(La la la) I’m ready for this galaxy
(La la la la) Oh, I’m so free
...
(La la la) But being free also means being alone
(La la la la) Love is the place to be
(La la la) I’m ready for this galaxy

Key Grammar Structures

  • Bitcoins sind die Zukunft, ich bin nicht dabei

    ➔ Sentence structure with subject, verb, and complement.

    ➔ The sentence states "Bitcoins are the future, I'm not in". "dabei sein" (to be in) is a separable verb, "dabei" is separated because it is the end of the phrase.

  • Heute trink' ich Wasser, nur mehr mit Emotion

    ➔ Use of 'mehr' as 'more' in the meaning of 'only'.

    "Nur mehr" indicates "only more", it can also mean 'just' or 'only'.

  • Du hast große Zukunft, ich bin nicht dabei

    ➔ Use of adjective before noun for emphasis (große Zukunft).

    ➔ Placing "große" before "Zukunft" emphasizes the magnitude of the future.

  • Ich leg' mich lieber nieder in a gadda da vida

    ➔ Use of 'lieber' to express preference (I'd rather).

    "lieber" modifies the verb "legen" to show that the speaker prefers to lie down.

  • Doch frei heißt auch alleine sein

    ➔ The word “heißt” used to mean “means”.

    ➔ This sentence translates to “But free also means to be alone”.

  • Ich bin bereit für diese Galaxie

    ➔ Use of 'bereit für' + accusative case to express readiness for something.

    "Ich bin bereit für diese Galaxie" means "I am ready for this galaxy". "diese Galaxie" is in the accusative case because it is the direct object of "bereit für".

  • Du denkst schon an Morgen in deinem Tragic-Life

    ➔ Use of 'denken an' + accusative case to express thinking about something.

    "Du denkst schon an Morgen" means "You are already thinking about tomorrow". "Morgen" is in the accusative case because it is the object of the prepositional phrase "an Morgen".

  • Es gibt nur eine Culture und die kennt keine Nation

    ➔ Relative pronoun 'die' referring back to 'Culture'.

    ➔ The sentence uses the relative pronoun "die" to connect the two clauses and refer back to "Culture".
