Those who are tired of life Explanation: "Suicidal" fits quite well, though "lebensmüde" has slightly different connotations. It describes a state of mind that doesn't reflect an actual crisis, but a deep weariness, a feeling of disillusion and senselessness. Each day drags on and on in the same old way, there's no colors, no rhythm nor rhyme... "Lebensmüde" don't necessarily commit suicide, but they're always contemplating it. Native German speaker |
