Covers

 that let the light shine through

Mach Dich 'mal locker

 snap out oft it and get the joke

in all seriousness wider den tierischen Ernst

The Constant

 is change

 

renewal to combat entropy

Actually

all these awkward moments

per aspera ad astra

hopefully
 

A Hint

 of so many things

Spines

flexible and sturdy

Masked

 to the teeth

some kind of figurine

lifeless, dull and almost threatening

an empty shell
