SEE RED LIGHT

If I believe in silence

I can't escape all violence
 

I'd like to look beneath the surface

And see what is under your skin

I'd like to draw aside the curtain

Anything behind, that I could call in

 

A frozen world that's made of black and white to keep it clear

To differ what's not different it echoes in my ear

Since you're here

 

Blind eyes look backwards

To keep a million lives outside

A bright world for proud ones

Twists wrong and right

See red light!

 

A missing link will take its toll so

Error detected, system down

There is no way to see how things go

Dusty thoughts begin to drown

 

A story told a thousand times will not be true if you

Repeat it once again – give up 'cause you don't have a clue!

That's my view

 

Blind eyes look backward

To keep a million lives outside

A bright world for proud ones

Twists wrong and right

See red light!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOW I AM THE WATER IN YOU
 

Put fire in my wounds
And burn the pain inside

Shoot arrows in my heart
To kill what’s still not died

Send out some petty words
The hidden meaning hits for sure

I feel better when it hurts
Forget about the past – no way to cure

Now I am the water in you
Now you are the water in me

Colours fade

The golden strings are torn
The safety net no longer holds

The gap has grown too far
Forgotten to forgive as we grew old

There's dust inside my mouth
No poems left for us – I'm so cold

Now I am the water in you
Now you are the water in me

Colours fade

I am the water
You are the water

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FROM ONE TO A MILLION

There was a girl sitting outside
Holding a self-made poster in the air
Some snappy information
Sent out to the nation
From her to everywhere

Hey, can you hear her from far away
Hey, can you understand?
She's so much more to say

A thousand drops can build a wave
And a million waves join as water slaves to make the sea
A lonely voice can send a plea
But a million pleas can change it all for you and me
From one to a million

So take the bait, don't be a doubter
No need to wait, get out loud and louder
Spray it on any wall
Sharing it with all
From here to anywhere

Now they can hear you from far away
Now they will understand what you're up to say

A thousand drops can build a wave
And a million waves join as water slaves to make the sea
From one to a million
A lonely voice can send a plea
But a million pleas can change it all for you and me
From one to a million

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ALONG THE WALL

I have a look at all that is still left of me
A body breaking down, rotten shell for a mind that's still awake
Can't turn my head, can't move my feet from here to there
And 'cause my brain still works my soul starts to ache

I feel alone and face the singularity
A border just in front – the black hole of infinity
I've read all lines and just the epilogue is left
Don't want to turn the page, refuse it so instinctively

Every song's about farewell
Every poem tells of fall
Every movie's about beauty
And I walk along the wall

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN

So much information that they don't care about
Available for free but what remains is doubt
A hubris based black out

We should have known
We could have seen
That mistrust grows in hiding
Can YOU understand what I mean

Refusing journalism they will not believe
In people trying hard to find the truth

Gasbag-guys raise their voice blown up to aggrieve
The one who works as a scientist, a fact revealing sleuth

Stand up to the splitters
Face the basic facts
Hush them, unmask that
It's just an act!

I should have known
I could have seen
That hatred grows in hiding
Can YOU understand what I mean

Cognition fails in consequence of ignorance and rage
They're vaporizing evidence – welcome to plotters' age!

We should have known
We could have seen
That hatred grows in hiding
Do you know what I mean

We should wake up
And open our eyes
To stand up for the brave ones
Before we get a bad surprise

Take them out of their bubble
Let's pull the plug
Stop them causing trouble
Weed out the bug

Dying days in front
Lying men beyond
Impact (oder infract) and react
Believe in facts

They steal away what's real
We're standing on thin ice
So impact and react
Or we will pay the price

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

COCOON

I will retreat into my small cocoon
Protection on to save me from the outside madness
Sadness seeks its usual place

The world turns too fast I can't keep up
I'll stay behind
They will not slow down and cross the cliff
Still blind

I did not call the ones who set the fire
Tried to protect the souls that have been without shelter
A welter of nameless fools

They follow a call from far away
lapsed long ago
The echoe's alive – like golden glow (alternativ: for all I know)

Hey is there anyone to clarify their view
Brave minds and clear science bring bitter news

Heads held high
The world's to buy
Burning sky
Our dreams run dry

Blind eyed fools
Nefarious ghouls
I keep staying inside my cocoon

Memories from the past
Still in my head
Start to fade away
Void spreads instead

I feel the heat invading my cocoon
The skin's too weak to keep me safe from outer force (change wird in der Phrase mitgesungen)
Change the course before it's much too late.

But what can I do to quench the flame
If no-one helps
To tear off their mask and lay bare (oder:expose) their game
 

Hey is there anyone to clarify their view
Brave minds and clear science bring bitter news

Hey is there anyone who knows what we can do
To save us from blindness – don't have a clue (geht das ohne I...?) Maybe with ‘ before don’t
To save us from blindness – ‘don't have a clue

Heads held high
The world's to buy
Burning sky
Our dreams run dry

Blind eyed fools
Nefarious ghouls
I keep staying inside my cocoon

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LET'S USE IT FOR A SWING-BY

I take a look down there – so blue
So green – a ground full of beauty!
A moon that flies around the globe
Always on duty

Watch out, take note

All life born off one cell has grown
towards the blue sky
And all they do all day
Are things that never pay
And so I say

Watch out, take note
Let's use it for a swing-by

I can't take my eyes off
Feel nothing but real scoff
But when I reflect on the scope

There's just a bitter sweet
They'll cross the cliff high speed
And so I say

Watch out, take note
Let's use it for a swing-by
Don't trust, just rote!
We had better fly by

Just count the days and nights (for sure wird hier mitgesungen)
For sure it won't take much longer
An overconfidence so pure
They try to go stronger
Led by some phrase mongers

Watch out, take note
Let's use it for a swing-by

All hope is in vain and
All common sense is banned
But still there's a pain inside me

It feels like bitter sweet
They'll cross the cliff high speed

Watch out, take note
Let's use it for a swing-by
Don't trust, just rote!
We had better fly by

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THIEVES

Brainwork gets common but there's no result
Words form but there is no effect
Control from inside to the outside world
Hey you! There's no way to reject

Blackout leads up to resign
Farewell – this world is not mine

Thieves came to steal my home
I leave I am on my own
I flee but nowhere I can feel safe and sound

Why do they take away
The place where I used to play
I freeze and still the whole world is turning round

Breathe!

Gold rush makes you eat dust and dirt with joy
Climb up! The ladder's still so high
Questions forbidden, doubts are not welcome
Hold on and you will reach the sky

Don't slip when the rungs start to freeze
To step out of the line is a mental disease

Thieves came to steal my home
I leave I am on my own
I flee but nowhere I can feel safe and sound

Why do they take away
The place where I used to play
I freeze and still all the world's turning round

So – can we bend the rules
Can we hush the fools
Can we stop the train
Can we break the chain
Can we clear the sky
Can we start to fly
Wake up wake up wake up and open up your eyes

Control or made by solidarity
Hate speech or just some lovely words
Exclude or reach out a helping hand
Caring or just for the birds

 

 

 

 

 

 

YOU CAN DANCE

We both have our battered feet on this soil, in which we sow our seed
A hidden source of unknown force is born and offers all we need
We take our ways, breathe in the world
Too far away I cannot say
That I'm like you or you're like me

Eyes made of sunrays
Meet eyes gone through gloomy days
We've turned out to be just enemies, enemies
But though you can dance

I see your whole life
I feel how you strive
Only to feel like me
To be without grieve
You're tired to leave
A place that you learned to call your home

Life has shaped us differently, but in the end it's only you and me
Colors fade, flowers wilt and in the end it's all the same we see
I reach out my hand to you
Not far away and I can say
That I'm like you and you're like me

Eyes made of sunrays
Meet eyes gone through gloomy days
We are what we've been: just fellow minds, just fellow minds
And so you can dance

I see your whole life
I feel how you strive
Only to feel like me
To be without grieve
You're tired to leave
A place that you learned to call your home
