Humanoid – „Träumer” translation

• Black eyes
  Black lips
  You stand before me
  Don’t let the future
  Spill away[1]
  Let us
  Go far from here

• We have us
  We have fear
  We have no destination[2]
  We are dreamers
  We have us
  We have fear
  Holding us by the hand
  We are dreamers
  We are dreamers
  We are dreamers

• White fog
  White moonlight
  Shining bright
  Just like you
  When you make it
  Then come with me
  I’ll put your doubts
  To rest[3]

• We had everything given to us
  We had everything taken from us
  We had everything handed to us[4]
  Until we came here

• Don’t wake us up
  When the morning comes
  We’re alone
  We’d rather be dreamers

[1] „lass die Zukunft / nochmal kippen” – “Let the future no more turn over”. The relevant image is of overturning a bowl or a cup and spilling the contents.
[2] „Wir kommen nirgendwo an” – “We’re arriving nowhere”.
[3] „Ich mache die / rugen zu” – „Rugen” means “to reprove” or “to censure”; „zumachen” is “to shut (away)”. So, taking reproaches and shutting them away.
[4] „Ham uns alles vergeben” – „vergeben” is “to award”, i.e., to acquire without having to work for it.

Humanoid – „Zoom” translation

• Are you out there somewhere
  Alone with yourself
  Have you run off somewhere
  Without knowing why
  A heartbeat
  That no one feels
  Are you out there somewhere
  Too weak to cry
  In front of all humanity
  Running away
  To be alone
  I see you
  Looking through the night

• Zoom yourself to me
  I zoom myself to you
  We would shine
  Far away from here
  Zoom yourself to me

• Are you laughing somewhere
  Out there
  With tears
  On your face
  Are you screaming
  Somewhere out there
  Until the silence breaks
  I see you
  Don’t give up now

• I see you
  Do you see me

• Far away from here
  Through space and time
  Zoom yourself to me
  Zoom yourself to me
  I zoom myself to you
  Through the storm
  Through the cold of the night
  And the fears within you
  Far away from here
  Through space and time
  Zoom yourself to me

No specific notes here — very straightforward, other than the use of “zoom” as a transitive verb. „Zoom dich zu mir” sounds just as purposely odd in German as “Zoom yourself to me” does in English. Generally this sort of mucking about with language stems from the same thing that makes them think telling people things are “Big cinema” in English is hilarious, which probably drove their language teachers bonkers when they still got marched into school every day.

Humanoid – „Geisterfahrer”

Note: „Geisterfahrer” is an idiomatic term for someone who is driving in a more than ordinarily suicidal fashion on the Autobahn, i.e., top speed in the wrong direction. Literally, it translates to “phantom-driver” or “ghost driver”. It probably has cultural connections to stories of ghostly horsemen, riding head-on and hell-bent-for-leather at innocent travelers who are on their roads too late at night, a motif common in the folklore of northern Europe, but mostly the idea is that driving like that put you one wrong, stupid move from haunting the road you died on.

• Gasoline in blood
  I’m doing fine[1]
  It’s not far until
  The last exit
  Flies by[2]
  Metal vibrates
  Under me
  On the way to you
  Stars fall on the horizon
  I pull the wheel around

• Kiss me now
  In the oncoming lights[3]
  Like a phantom driver
  I seek you out
  The night is cold
  I drive alone
  Like a phantom driver
  To finally be with you

• Adrenaline
  Propped me up[4]
  Got no fear
  The road turns itself in front of me
  I pull
  The wheel around

• I don’t know you
  And believe in that
  That I can make it
  To you
  Make it to you[5]

• (Female vocals[6]:
  I’m here
  Just behind you
  Phantom driver
  I’m with you
  ‘Til your final lap[7])

• Kiss me now
  In the oncoming lights
  Like a phantom driver
  I seek you out
  The night is cold
  I drive alone
  Like a phantom driver
  To finally be with you

• Hey
  I am
  With you
  I am here
  …here

• I oughtn’t be here
  Phantom drivers
  Always drive alone

[1] „Mir geht’s gut” – “It’s okay by me”, “I’m doing all right,” “I’m fine”.
[2] „Ist nicht mehr weit / die letzte Ausfahrt / zieht vorbei” – “It’s not much longer [until] the last road-exit is past”
[3] „Im Gegenlicht” – usually this means “in backlight”, but given the rest of the song, I suspect it’s meant a bit more literally, “against-lights”, i.e., the headlights of the oncoming cars.
[4] „Adrenalin / hält mich war” – “Adrenaline was holding me”
[5] „ich’s zu schaffen kann” – “I can achieve it”, or “I can manage it”
[6] These are actually not printed in the booklet. Neither are there any credits for the girl who sings them. The part isn’t long, isn’t difficult, and I don’t know of anyone who has stood up to claim credit for it, so it’s probably either someone who’s a singer in her own right, or just someone they already happened to know.
[7] „Auf deinem letzten Stück” – a „Stück” is a “piece” or a “part” or a “length” of something. In context, it would be a length of road, or a lap in a race.

Humanoid – „Alien” translation

• My heart fights
  Against me
  Like an alien in me
  I stand up
  Turn around, all is smeared in blood
  I look in the mirror
  And there it is written[1]

• Breathe your love into me
  I want to be with you finally

• I’m sick
  Without you
  I’ve tried poisons
  One by one
  And now I let
  Myself loose
  Lay me on the fire
  And look in the heavens
  And hear your voice

• Breathe your love into me
  I want to be with you finally
  Breathe new life into me
  Do you hear my soul screaming

• Wake me up from this
  Dream
  (Alien seeking love)
  Let me loose, let me out of here
  (Alien seeking love)
  Your love

[1] „Und da steht geschrieben” – “And there stands it written”. The kind of portentious, passive phrasing you get when talking about prophecies in fairy tales.

Humanoid – „Menschen suchen Menschen” translation

• In dreams, in all
  In storm, in freefall
  From hate, from need
  From love until the death
  You look for me, I look for you

• Humans[1] seeking humans
  Someone looks for everyone[2]
  Humans needing humans
  We don’t want to be alone
  Humans seeking humans
  Somewhere you’re looking for me
  Six billion humans
  How can I make contact with you

• On a high[3]
  On the ‘Net
  In film
  In here and now
  For me, for the heart
  For the life I feel empty
  You look in me, I look in you

• How do I find my way to you
  Find your way to me
  How do I find my way to you
  Find your way to me
  Seek me
  Seek me
  Seek me
  I seek you

[1] „Menschen” is often translated as “men”, but „Mensch” is “man” as in “mankind”. No gender specified or implied. In the English “Human Connect To Human”, one of the lines of the chorus is “Boy meet girl, know what to do”, which unavoidably specifies a gender in English — presumably this annoyed them, so they switch it up for one of the later repeats and sing “Girl meet girl, know what to do” instead.
[2] „Jeder sucht für sich allein” – it’s phrased in the singular, which is difficult to do in proper English. The idea is “for any given individual, someone is searching specifically for him/her”, or more informally, “No matter who you are, there’s someone looking just for you”.
[3] „im Rausch” – “in a rush”, not like “rushing to do something”, but like “head rush” or “that was such a rush”. „Rausch” is used to describe that altered state of mind where things seem to blast past you, whether from a drug high, from being drunk, or from being in a state of religious, spiritual or physical ecstacy.
General Note: „Suchen” means “to look (for)”, “to search (for)” or “to seek (out)”. The third application is used in the context of computers, for what English calls a “disk seek” or “seek operation”, where a hard drive or a CD/DVD drive runs through the iterative process of finding a particular file that the user wishes to access; “seek time”, the speed at which the drive can deliver an arbitrary chunk of data, is important for applications like video editing, where faster is better. In the second sense, it’s used for “to search” as in “online, with a search engine”, like Google. Finally, „(jmnd.) sucht (jmnd.)” is how you start personal ads in German, just as you start them “(someone) seeking (someone)” in English, e.g., “Single man seeking single woman for companionship and long walks on the beach.” The common element in all of these is the process of going methodically through impersonal channels to find something that has a very personal significance on the other end.

Humanoid – „Hunde” translation

• We’d no longer hear you
  We’d no longer be sworn to you
  We’re swallowing no more lies
  No more
  Your truth
  Won’t be ours
  Your masks
  Our faces
  Our eyes
  Need light
  A lot more light

• Loose the hounds[1]
  I’m warning you
  Loose the hounds
  Don’t follow us

• Loose the hounds
  We know the way
  Got dreams you don’t understand
  Before it happens[2]
  Under you
  We suffocate

• Loose the hounds
  Loose the hounds
  Loose the hounds
  Set us free!
  Set us free!

• We’re rich in blood[3] and love of the wild
  We bite all who dog us[4]
  The moon is our reflection[5]
  Tonight

• Loose the hounds
  I’m warning you
  Loose the hounds
  Don’t follow us

• Hunt us, track us
  By the full moon
  Hunt us, track us
  By the full moon
  Track us, hunt us
  In the abyss
  Let us loose
  Let us loose at last
  Let us loose
  Set us free!

[1] „Lass die Hunde los” – “Let the hounds loose”. Literally it means “Release the hounds [from their confinement/from their leashes]“, but, as in English, it also happens to be the thing you shout if you’re the owner of a large manor house, and you want the servants to let the guard dogs loose to chase someone undesireable off the grounds.
[2] „Bevor was passiert / unter euch / ersticken wir” – “Before what passes / under you / we suffocate”. More colloquially, “Before what happens is that we suffocate under you.” An exact equivalent to the German construction doesn’t exist in English.
[3] „Wir reichen Blut” – „reichen” is somewhat problematic in English, as it has several possible translations, none of which are phrased quite the same as the German. It can mean “to rule”, as in a kingdom, “to be rich”, or “to reach”. My guess is that the idea is that they’re ‘true-blooded wild things’ or something like that — truly feral creatures. The song does seem to be about werewolves, after all, at least metaphorically.
[4] Sorry, couldn’t resist. „Wir beissen jeden der uns quält” – “We bite all who [qualen] us”, where „qualen” is to plague, hassle, harass, or generally cross paths with and annoy repeatedly.
[5] „Spiegelbild” – literally, “mirror-image”, usually “reflection”.

Humanoid – „Der Kampfe der Liebe” translation

• You do me good
  You do me wrong[1]
  I’m in the battle of love
  Running through coals
  Marching through snow
  Just for the battle of love
  Black is the night
  I hold myself awake
  Red is the battle of love
  I feel the force
  I feel weak
  I’m fighting the battle of love

• When I wake up[2]
  When I wake up
  When I finally wake up
  I don’t know how long
  Don’t know how long
  How long I can keep fighting

• Through the fire cold and alone
  The flames lead me to you

• And then we’ll fight together[3]
  The battle of love love love

• You need seek no
  Antidote
  You want the battle of love
  It never passes[4]

• Because it’s in you
  You’re the battle of love
  From noon to night[5]
  Leads the battle of love
  You feel free and are caught
  You’re fighting the battle of love

• When I wake up
  When I wake up
  When I finally wake up
  I don’t know how long
  Don’t know how long
  How long I can keep fighting

• I run through the streets
  Through the deserts
  To you
  We seal our pact
  I fight for you and you for me
  Forever

• When we wake up
  When we wake up
  When we finally wake up
  Don’t know how long
  Don’t know how long
  How long we can keep fighting

[1] „Du tust mir gut / du tust mir weh” — “You’re doing good [things for] me / you’re doing bad [things for] me”.
[2] „Wann komm ich an” – “When I come to,” i.e., when I wake from a dream or when I regain consciousness.
[3] „gemeinsam” – both „gemeinsam” and „zusammen” are translated as “together”, but „gemeinsam” carries a connotation of emotional solidarity that „zusammen” doesn’t necessarily have. Not only are you “with” or “in agreement with” someone, but you are also connected to them and will stand united with them. Used to much the same effect in „In die Nacht”: „Ich will nicht allein sein / lass uns gemeinsam / in die Nacht”.
[4] „Es geht nie vorbei” – “It goes never past” or “It goes never into the past”.
[5] „von Höhenpunkt zum Untergang” – “from the high-point to the sunset”

Humanoid – „Für Immer Jetzt” translation

• I see you crying
  And nobody wipes the tears away
  I hear you screaming
  Because the silence suffocates you
  I feel your heart
  It’s lonely just like you
  Let yourself fall
  Close your eyes

• Hey
  The world stops for you
  Hey
  Here in my arms
  Forever now

• When you search
  And lose yourself in looking
  Then I find you
  And draw you to me

• Hey
  The world stops for you
  Hey
  Here in my arms
  For one day
  For one night
  For one moment
  Wherein you laugh
  We break through time
  Against every law
  Forever you and I
  Forever now

• We put ourselves
  Together[1]
  We are one like yin and yang
  Do you feel me
  When you breathe
  Do you feel me
  When no one’s there

[1] „Wir setzen unsere Scherben / zusammen” – “We put together our fragments” or “We assemble our pieces”, as with a jigsaw puzzle, or to repair a broken item.

Humanoid – „Humanoid” translation

• Against love, against hate
  Against the sun, against the night
  Against the rules, against what is[1]
  Against it all, against it all
  I am

• Humanoid oh humanoid oh

• Give me life, give me air
  My heart keeps beating
  Because it must
  I run with my shadows
  Trailing me, give me more
  Give me more, always more

• Humanoid oh humanoid oh
  Humanoid come back
  Humanoid come back and

• Take my heart
  Take my grief
  Between the worlds
  Am I caught
  Coordinates unknown
  Hold me or I’ll fall
  Hold me

• I don’t want my heart
  I don’t want my grief
  I don’t want my head
  Don’t want shit
  Don’t want dirt
  Don’t want

• Take my heart
  Take my grief
  I can’t go on
  Hold me
  Between the worlds
  Am I caught
  Coordinates unknown
  Hold me or I’ll fall
  Hold me give me what I
  Can feel
  And show me
  What I can see
  Between the worlds
  Am I caught
  Coordinates unknown

• Against the rules
  Against what is
  Against it all
  Against it all

[1] „Gegen Macht” — “against [things already] made”. Usually referred to in English as ‘the Man’ or ‘the Establishment’ by hippies and rebellious teenagers.

Humanoid – „Lass uns Laufen” translation

• The rain is loud
  Out there and in here
  It’s gray
  The dark walls[1] have my
  Sight lines[2] blocked
  The lights go out
  I lock all the doors
  The room full
  Of visions of you
  My heartbeat lets
  The floor expand
  I have nothing more
  To lose

• Oh
  Let us run
  When the darkness comes
  Somewhere our future has
  Begun
  Past the horizon
  Oh
  Let us run
  Until the night brightens[3]
  And until the last rain
  Of the world
  Falls over us

• I seem to go
  I let the clouds
  Pull me to and fro[4]
  And count each step
  Senselessly
  To anywhere[5]

• I don’t know what comes
  I don’t know what was
  I only know
  You’re not here anymore
  The wind wakes me up
  I notice I’m running

• How painful is too painful
  How far is too far
  Where is the beginning
  And the end of time
  Give me some sense
  Please bring me inside

• Let us run…

[1] „Mauern” can also be “shells” or “shields”.
[2] „Fluchtpunkt” literally means “vanishing point”, as in the vanishing point used in art and drafting to draw guidelines for correct perspective. Metaphorically, it’s the most distant point of your line of sight — the very farthest you can see, which on a clear day in an open area on Earth is generally the horizon.
[3] „bis die Nacht sich erhellt” — “until the night lightens itself”
[4] „Ich lass mich von dem Wolken mitziehen” — “I allow myself to be pulled by the clouds”
[5] „Irgendwohin” — to/in somewhere, anywhere, nowhere, no particular place
