With all due respect I'm afraid I'm going to have to invalidate your correction on the basis of me never admitting to being wrong.

The eins remix is like the zwei remix but does have a bit of JDB on it

I've noticed a few different translations of the German verse around so I asked my German flatmate's opinion on how she would translate it and this is what she came up with for anyone interested:
Ghosts like misplaced sleep Time that was left behind I run further in order to escape I run away further from my life I find it interesting that all the translations are slightly different. All the ones I've seen are pretty much the same but have slightly differing connotations and tenses etc. |

I waited to give it a few more listens in proper recorded format to give an opinion, but... it's a nice idea chronically hamstrung by two elements, the lamentably pedestrian percussion (would a single skipping beat kill you Sean?) and the crushingly poor lyrics.
Seriously... in what reality is "European dreams/European screams" a good enough couplet to deserve barking out as part of a chorus? Is this really by the same 45 year old man who's made writing lyrics his business for the last 25 years, who wrote 30 Year War a little while back? Nina Hoss sounds fucking amazing, the music beyond the percussion is good. But with lyrics as cheap and weak (there's another one for you Wire) as these, it falls totally flat for me.

Using Google Speak brought up some interesting results in the search engine. Everytime I got a different random phrase, maybe Nicky gets his lyrics this way?

So to answer your question, I think it exists in the reality of the album's themes and motifs in such a way that it's a fine, distilled expression of both the song and album's preoccupations. But if you don't like it fair enough *shrugs*.
