- 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.
