Song Title: Destillat
Artist(Band): Das Ich
Translation: German » English

Images, the words play
and in you lose
to lie quite still
Questions and remember
Also on the board
where the boy plays
in the basement is
in which the man turns

Give me your distillate
Give me my Alltagstod
Give me my bread grace
ur eternity

There is also doubt
There will also be dilatoriness
There will be disbelief
like all lonely and alone

If an else in me cries
painful great suffering
Birth and fate blows
such as air past me
My heart gives birth, the agony
One of last times
A dead Musikant
plays the silent song

Give me your distillate
Give me my Alltagstod
Give me my bread grace
to eternity

There is also doubt
There will be a lot of procrastination
There will be disbelief
We are all lonely and alone

Destillat is German for distillate. "by" is not German, only English. "Das Ich" means "the shop" in a German phrase. You would have to know the context to know exactly what is being talked about.

It's a song.

http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Destillat-lyrics-Das-Ich/9CFA4812B4675A3A48256ED8000ACD57

Bilder die Worte spielen
und sich in dir verlieren
um ganz still zu liegen
Fragen und erinnern
sich auch an das Brett
auf dem der Knabe spielt
das in dem Keller steht
in dem der Mensch sich dreht

Gib mir dein Destillat
Gib mir mein Alltagstod
Gib mir mein Gnadenbrot
ur Ewigkeit

Da wird auch Zweifel sein
Da wird auch Zaudern sein
Da wird Unglaube sein
wie alle einsam und allein

Wenn ein andrer in mir schreit
schmerzvolles großes Leid
Geburt und Schicksal weht
wie Luft an mir vorbei
Mein Herz gebärt die Qual
Ein allerletztes mal
Ein toter Musikant
spielt das stille Lied

Gib mir dein Destillat
Gib mir mein Alltagstod
Gib mir mein Gnadenbrot
zur Ewigkeit

Da wird auch Zweifel sein
Es wird viel Zaudern sein
Da wird Unglaube sein
Wir alle einsam und allein

Then why is the category Industrial? I thought it was a manufacturing label.
