I'm sorry I cannot understand the lyrics but it's really nice
thanks for sharing!
The text is actually a parent's rant to the son. The nifty part is how the video interacts with the text.
This is more or less the translation :
Son,
why didn’t you learn anything?
Take a look at Dieter, he even has a car.
Why don’t you go to Uncle Werner in the garage? He'll hire you, if you ask him to.
Son ...
(Chorus) And now what do you look like, holes in the pants and always that noise (What will the neighbours say?) And then your hair, words fail me! Do you have to stain them? (What will the neighbours say?)
How you come home, we don't know what to do anymore.
Son,
Don’t break your mother’s heart. It is not too late, to go to university.
You used to be interested in animals, wouldn’t that be something for you? Your own practice?
Son...
(Chorus) And now what do you look like, holes in your nose and always this noise (What will the neighbours say?) Electric guitars and always these lyrics. Noone wants to hear those. (What will the neighbours say?) The way you come home, so much bad company We will disinherit you (What will the tax office say?) Where wiil it all end? we're so worried...
(And you were such a sweet child) X3
(You were so sweet)
(Chorus) And always those friends. You all do drugs. And always this noise (What will the neighbours say?) Think of your future. Think of your parents.
Do you want us dead?
