Du Schreibst Geschichte Lyrics in English Madsen

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Du Schreibst Geschichte by Madsen from German to English.
Because the world spins so fast
Because time passes so fast
You can't
keep up
Because the rush won't let up
And you drown in the crowd
You're a drop in the ocean
But you live longer than a lifetime
You're what everything began with
Because you write history
With every step
With every word
You carry it on
You write history
Every day
Because here and now
You're a part of it
Because there's a monster in front of you
And it stares menacingly into your eyes
You'd rather stay quiet
Because everyone tells you
Who you are and what you lack
You forget what you want to say
But you live longer than a lifetime
You're what everything began with
Because you write history
With every step
With every word
You carry it on
You write history
Every day
Because here and now
You're a part of it
Because you only live once
You want something to change
Before you leave
Before you leave
You live longer than a lifetime
You're what everything began with
Because you write history
With every step
With every word
You carry it on
You write history
Every day
Because here and now
You're a part of it

SONG MEANING

“Du Schreibst Geschichte” is Madsen’s musical pep-talk for anyone who has ever felt like a mere “drop in the ocean.” The German rock band reminds us that life can feel like a blur of deadlines, crowds, and intimidating “monsters,” yet every single step and word we choose already shapes the story of our world. Instead of letting others define who we are, the song invites us to recognize our own agency: we live “longer than a lifetime” because our actions ripple forward, influencing people and moments we may never see.

So, why stay silent or stuck? With its energetic guitars and uplifting chorus, the track urges listeners to speak up, move forward, and embrace the fact that right here, right now we’re each writing history. One life is all we get, and Madsen wants us to make it count—face the fear, ignite movement, and celebrate the knowledge that every day adds a fresh line to the grand narrative we all share.
