Verse 1: Rakon)
I have to sleep early today, I lie down
I have to empty out all the memories that have been lingering around til now
Trying to shake off those pieces, I get pricked
even more painfully by what is stuck in my hands

I let out a soundless scream
Those who hear it are only me and this cigarette smoke
although I know that, I cannot manage to stop
I just keep turning up the TV’s volume

I want it to be hidden by the sound of laughter
I want to laugh like the person on the screen
I want that light((of the TV screen)) to fill my room to the brink
but why is this small room still dark?

You know what? I just leave the TV on
Instead, please turn off my very noisy mind for a bit
I just leave the TV on
So that I can at least half-smile

Hook)
I just leave the TV on
So that it feels as if there were other people
I just leave the TV on
As if I wasn’t alone

I just leave the TV on
Although I don’t watch, I just leave it on
I don’t care whatever they((the people on TV)) are babbling
I have turned it all on so that silence cannot come in

Verse 2)
I just leave the TV on, so that it feels as if there were other people in my room
even when I go outside for a smoke and go back inside
The cold air feels quite heavy to me
I stretch out on my bed, bound to look for the remote

If there is one, I tune into a funny channel
When it dawns, the light from the black screen
gently heats up my body
I let go of my tension. The corners of my mouth

start twitching, I force a smile. I cope with
bigger worries. Like the F5 button.((refresh/reload function)) To separate
work and everyday life, I turn on the TV. But
in the end it’s my habit to look for a good line

Uh, the pain I barely got rid of
comes into my arms after not even a few minutes
I just leave the TV on. I pick a fight with the wordless room,
although there is no reply

Hook x2)
