"This track is based on a poem by the Russian writer Boris Pasternak —

'To be famous is not beautiful…'"

"And every time, I stand in wonder,

How much this world already knows.

The things I think I have discovered

Were written down long time ago…"

"To be well-known is nothing noble,

It doesn’t lift you up on high.

No need for archives, nor devotion,

No fussing over lines gone by."

"Oh really? Then why do you bother?

Why write, if no one gives a damn?

You think the world is full of virtue?

Wake up, it’s just a sleazy scam."

"And others, following my footsteps,

Will walk my path through dust and rain.

But wins and losses, joys and sorrows,

To me, must feel one and the same."

"They’ll walk your path? Now that’s amusing.

You think they care? They’ll burn your books.

The world’s too busy with illusions,

To bother giving you a look."

"But one must live without pretension,

To truly hear the future call.

To draw love’s breath into the heavens,

And feel space answer to my soul."

Oh, future’s calling? That’s adorable.

The world forgets when you are gone.

You want to touch the endless cosmos?

Try paying first for daily bread."

"And never, never hide in shadows,

Nor run from mirrors, nor disguise.

But stay alive, alive and breathing,

Alive and burning, till I die."

"Well, if you burn, then burn completely,

Go on, let fate decide the way.

But don’t be shocked, when all your wisdom

Gets sold for nothing the next day…"

"And others, following my footsteps,

Will walk my path through dust and rain.

But wins and losses, joys and sorrows,

To me, must feel one and the same."

"Alive and burning… till I die…
