It reminds me of a song whose lyrics have sometimes been very haunting to me. It's the same theme of being your own worst enemy.

I am not sure if you like, but I am sharing just in case. The guitars, the soundscape and the tense emotion of this song sends shivers down my spine.

Mein größter Feind by Die Toten Hosen


Wenn ich in einen Spiegel seh,
bin ich mir immer wieder fremd.
Ist das wirklich mein Gesicht,
meine Stimme, die da spricht?

Wenn ich mit mir alleine bin,
gibt es keine Chance zu fliehn.
Nichts ist mehr da von all dem Schein,
von dem, was ich versuche zu sein.

Das ist der Moment,
in dem ich weiß:
ich selber bin
mein größter Feind.

Ich merke, wenn ich einsam bin,
ich kann mich selbst nicht mehr ausstehn.
Ich guck wieder auf mein Spiegelbild,
es macht mir alles nach
und verschwindet nicht.

Das ist der Moment,
in dem ich weiß:
ich selber bin
mein größter Feind.

omg @_@ the tune is beautiful...would you happen to know the english translation of the lyrics? I love the melody and the feel of the song overall, love music like that

Oh, I am glad you like it also! :)

I tried my best to make a coherent English translation of the lyrics, and it goes something like this:


My greatest enemy

Whenever I look into a mirror,
I always see a stranger there.
Is this really my face,
is this my voice, when I speak?

When I am alone, and by myself,
there is no way for me to escape.
There is nothing there, except the lies,
of who I am trying to seem like.

That is the moment
When I know:
I myself am
my greatest enemy.

I notice, when I am all alone,
I can not stand myself anymore.
I look back at my reflection,
it fills me with all these feelings again,
and it won't disappear.

That is the moment
When I know:
I myself am
my greatest enemy.

My greatest enemy.

Oh wow...I love it even more now, beautiful...I can really relate to those lyrics too. Thank you so much for sharing and translating!

You are more than welcome! *bows deeply*
