My Shadow Always Follows Me (Wie Wird Man Seinen Schatten Los?) | Mozart 

*has me sick to death *burning like a spark *serve some dark and invisible ghost *how I try to flee *it's my fate I can't break free *what good is immortality *the stale smell *the sound no tune comes ever near *once, while I bring joy (?) I heard shores too, don't know what that means *I know I'm better *patronized and lied at *taking away the air to breathe

Its interesting that the translation here is "my shadow always follows me" as oposed to the literwl one of "how to get rid of your shadow"

German musicals do not translate well to English. The original song is one of my favorites but something is lost in translation here, and English is my first language. Best to listen to it in German XD

Danke für das Video!! (Deutsch ist nicht meine erste Sprache lol) here's my best shot at the lyrics: I do not care for princely grace Or honeyed words from powdered faces That perfumed scent of wealth and pride Has me sick to death! My heart is light, my dreams are wild I want to live life to the fullest Free as a bird, and burning like a spark Instead I serve some dark and invisible ghost My shadow always follows me No matter how I try to flee I cannot crawl out of my skin I can't escape my destiny It wasn't my choice To be what I was born to be But it's my fate, I can't break free My shadow always follows me What good is immortality To someone who has hardly known life? The stale smell of laurel wreath Reminds me of death What is a perfect symphony Compared to making love all night long? No sound, no tune, comes ever near the bliss Of some forbidden kiss There's so much I miss! My shadow always follows me No matter how I try to flee I cannot crawl out of skin I can't escape my destiny It wasn't my choice To be what I was born to be But it's my fate I can't break free My shadow always follows me Wants spoil every joy I feel, Chores burden my shoulders Doubts ask if I'm good enough Although I know I'm better than the rest As you watch inspired, patronized, and blighted Sometimes I want to be just like everybody else and start to live! But my shadow always follows me Not matter how I try to flee (I cannot crawl out of my skin) (I can't escape my destiny) It wasn't my choice To be what I was born to be But it's my fate I can't break free My shadow always follows me (My shadow always follows me) I feel a shadow Taking away the air to breathe (It wasn't my choice) I cannot breathe I cannot feel No never! My shadow always follows me!

*has me sick to death *my heart is light, my dreams are wide *free as a bird and burning like a spark *but it's my fate, my shadow always follows me *??? (The sound not should is the best I can make of it too) *taking away the air to breathe

Uh, wow. He's a good singer but I think I prefer the German version of this song.

This is cool but my brain isn't used to listening to this song in a language I understand and it doesn't know how to react

I think it's "No matter how I try to flee" rather than "try to free"

Wäre auch mal interessant dieses Lied auf Niederländisch zu hörn da der gute Oedo aus den Niederladen stammt :) (Y)

Ich mag die englische Version voll 😍

Hallo :) Wow, cooles Video, danke dafür! Mir sind allerdings ein paar Fehler aufgefallen. Gleich am Anfang könnte es "perfume scent" heißen, das erste Fragezeichen müsste "has me sick to death" heißen, beim zweiten verstehe ich auch "wild", beim dritten "burning like a spark", nicht "birding". Ich glaube, er singt "dark anD invisible ghost", aber da bin ich mir nicht sicher. "no matter how I try to fLee" "but it's my faTe, I can't break free" "What good is iMMortality" "stale smell" (ohne "of") "no sound, no chord" "I'm better than the rest" "as you watch inspired" (?) "taking away the AIR to breath" "I can not fLee"

It has an English translation... good to know. Where were you before I got used to the German one...? But... something is off. Thanks for lyrics though.

Can someone tell me what the chorus sings when in German they're supposed to sing "Hinter dir steht ein Dämon..."? I can't make it out and I love those background lyrics. Any help?

Ohh, this is an interesting version of the song, but I prefer the German and the Hungarian versions.

Ist das ein Preview Album? Gibt's von der Cast noch mehr englische Versionen?

hardly as good as the german version imo, but...still quite an earworm.

One Korean loves this song!

has me sick to death

Die originale deutsche Version ist zwar besser, aber die Version ist auch ziemlich cool.
