You see,
It should be easy to run away from this world that's been exchanged for garbage

"Todestrieb" or "death drive" is a term from Freudian psychology referring to a self-destructive impulse or compulsion that supposedly was one of the two major forces driving human behavior.

[1] This is wordplay based on the fact that the words for "bud" and "eye" are both pronounced "me."
