I met a sun god
I press pause, time doesn't pass
I won't let myself be dragged down today
Surf through the streets and move
All the stress from yesterday doesn't count
Always want a lot, but little today
Only the music in my head
And I feel endorphins
Everything's light as never before
And the voice in my ear says
Don't give a f-
No one can do anything to me today
And only the music in my head
Keep pressing repeat over and over
Don't give a f-
No one can do anything to me today
The whole world is newly in love
Only this song in my head
Only the music, only the music
Reach for the stars and I float
As if nothing were impossible today
I look into unimagined distances
In my head (only the music)
Every note fills the emptiness
And if it gets cold, the warmth remains
A symphony against the heaviness
So dreamily beautiful, full of fantasy
And I feel endorphins
Everything's light as never before
And the voice in my ear says
Don't give a f-
No one can do anything to me today
And only the music in my head
Keep pressing repeat over and over
Don't give a f-
No one can do anything to me today
The whole world is newly in love
Only this song in my head
Only the music, only the music
It's much too early, short night (hey)
Those who can party in the evening aren't awake in the morning
It's much too early, short night
Those who can party in the evening are tired in the morning (oh yeah)
It's much too early, short night (hey)
Those who can party in the evening aren't awake in the morning
It's much too early, short night (hey)
I turn around and this voice says
(Don't give a fuck)
Don't give f-
No one can do anything to me today
And only the music in my head
Keep pressing repeat over and over
Don't give a fuck
No one can do anything to me today
The whole world is newly in love
Only this song in my head
Only the music, only the music
Only the music
Only the music
Only the music
