Draußen ist so schönes Wetter
Mutti und Vati gehen spazieren
alle anderen sind im Freibad
ich sitze zu Hause am Computer
Habe ein tolles neues Game
verriegele die Tür, ziehe die Vorhänge zu
verbinde mich via USB-zu-Nasenloch-Kabel
und tauche ein in die digitale Welt
Ich schaue an mir herab, sehe Körperzellen zu Pixeln werden
in meiner Hand eine magische Waffe, wo vorher noch die Maus war
8bit-Melodien klingen nicht schön aber episch
und motivieren mich für mein Abenteuer
Meine Eltern kommen nach Hause, merken das etwas nicht stimmt
sie stürmen in mein Zimmer, aber finden nur einen leeren Stuhl und einen leuchtenden Bildschirm
ich habe dieses Leben hinter mir gelassen
denn ich werde gebraucht in einer anderen Welt

THE QUEST
outside the weather is so nice
mommy and daddy are going for a walk
all the others are at the swimming pool
i am sitting at home at the computer
got a great new game
lock the door, shut the curtains
get linked via usb to nostril cable
and dive into the digital world
i am looking down at me, see body cells transform into pixels
in my hand a magical weapon, where the mouse used to be
8bit melodies dont sound nice but epic
and they motivate me for my quest
my parents come home and realize that something is wrong
they run to my room, but they only find an empty chair and glowing screen
i left this life behind
because i am needed in another world
