"Augen auf" translates literally as "Eyes Open", but the way it is used in the song ("Augen auf, ich komme"), is in the sense of a game ("Ready or not, here I come", from the game of hide-and-seek).
The Limited and New editions had "I'm Going Down" as a hidden track, found after "Im Licht" (there is a two-minute intermission of silence).
