Einstürzende Neubauten - Haus der Lüge / Epilog (Lyrics, 1080p60)
For the english translation of the lyrics scroll down a bit. Not all of it could be accurately translated because of the abstract nature of the lyrics. For example the german word “Geschoß“ with which the singer Blixa Bargeld plays around means “storey“ or “floor“ of a multi-level building but also “projectile“. A similar german word, “Schoß“ means “lap“, but in the context of this song becomes connotated with “Geschoß“.

Lyrics-Videos-Playlist:
Einstürzende Neubauten are a german industrial / experimental group founded in 1980. One of their trademarks are their custom built instruments.
This track is taken from their album “Haus der Lüge“. The band has an impressive back catalogue and I highly recommend giving their work a shot. In earlier days they were still very noisy, their album “Kollaps“ probably being the noisiest and admittedly most chaotic of them - which was somewhat their mission back then: to break the usual hearing habits in order to make room for new impressions. Destroy to create.
With every following album they became more organized and focussed.
Translation (taken from ):
First floor:
Here live the blind
Who believe what they see
And the deaf
Who believe what they hear
Strapped to a kitchen stool
Sits a lunatic who believes
Everything that he can touch
(his hands lie in his lap)
Second floor:
Roll to roll
In wood-chip wallpaper
Tenants stand around in the corridors
Contemplating the walls attentively
Searching on it strip by strip
For printing or spelling errors
They couldn’t even decipher their own names
To the next floor:
Which, oh wonder! Was never completed
And can only be reached by the stairs-
Here lie errors belonging to the company
With this they tile the floors
Where none are permitted to tread
Fourth floor:
Here lives the architect
He goes on with his plan
This building crammed full of ideas
It reaches from funda- to firmament
And from fundament to the company
At the ground floor:
There are located four doors
They lead
Directly outdoors
Or better stated, to the cornerstone
There, who wants to can wait
The concrete comes at 12:00
Laying the cornerstone!
Laying the cornerstone, lies, lies, lies!
Trains of thought are painted over
In head-height brown
Infamous or Catholic violet
For better orientation
Attic floor:
It has some damage
An old man sits on the roof truss
Dead angels are scattered on the floor
(their faces match his)
He holds a gun between his knees
He aims it at his mouth
And in the skull
Through the skull
And out of the skull, outward
In the top of the roof
Permeates the bullet
God has shot himself
An attic floor can be expanded
God has shot himself
An attic floor can be expanded
Epiloge:
Ground floor:
This is a basement
This is where I live
This is dark, moist and pleasant
This is a basement
This is where I live
This here is a lap
