Because of the Wind
04:15
|
|||
I am drifting away
Because of the wind
Pass by me, getting inside me
And seeing everything
As of late it turns out
It means everything
Winding shy
Turning a blind eye
Supporting every wing
I’m descending along
And so is the rain
My lover’s looking for cover
From freezing drops of pain
It’s been ever so clear
It clears me again
Politely, ever so slightly
Will I see you somewhen?
And as new fears shape words
And old fears shape the prayer
Cold wind distorts my skin
Hot wind distorts the air
Cold wind distorts my skin
Hot wind distorts the air
We were hiding on shelves
Avoiding ourselves
Surprise me, do it so nicely
Your song brings me to life
You were still for so long
But now you are seen
Don’t worry, make yourself comfy
I’ll make you breakfast and coffee
Do tell me how it’s been
And as small glimpse makes look
And bigger glimpse makes stare
Cold wind distorts my skin
Hot wind distorts the air
Still air gets us nowhere
But slowly we begin
Because of the wind

I've got a friend who wants to die
She'd be never pacified
It's her own decision, but I told her I'd cry
Still, my friend, she wants to die
I don't wanna deal with it
I don't wanna deal with it
I want a friend, who'll never die (+ whose life will never end)
I don't wanna handle this
Now I've got some bills to pay
I work 9 hours a day
Feels like I'm burning my little life away
But I'm broke, what can I say
I don't wanna deal with it
I don't wanna deal with it
I want the stuff I have to be enough, yeah
I don't wanna handle this
Always had this special trait
Of being insubordinate
They found it strange and tried to have me changed
Please don't try to have me changed.
(please don't do that)
I don't wanna deal with it
I don't wanna deal with it
I want to have the right to misbehave, yeah
I don't wanna handle this
I don't wanna deal with it
I don't wanna deal with it
Sometimes I'm me, sometimes I'm not me
And sometimes I'm in between

Something tells me it's no good
Confirming things I thought I understood
Were good
Something tells me it's not right
It should have been there but it's out of sight
It might be just too late to say I warned ya
We're too deep in this catatonia
I've been told that it's my gold
Hanging on my plum tree, wanna see?
I would cry to miss my guy
I return to you
Something tells me it's no good
Things are supposed to break but fade to red
Instead
Something tells me it's not right
I might not tell you why but then I might
Hold tight
But it's too late to say I warned ya
We're too deep in this catatonia
And everyday it's getting faster
And everyday you don't realize it
I've been told that it's my gold
Hanging on my plum tree, wanna see?
I would cry to miss my guy
I return to you

Untitled #3 ("40 years")

[Left ear]
For the tears of 40 years remember this, it’s curable
And even if it's not enough to save you from your cubicle
Dear time goes by and though it’s shy can’t help but stare
Is it absurd to volunteer to disappear or are the thoughts of you becoming rare?
[Right ear]
For the tears of distant years remember what’s forgettable
Although you know it might not be enough to free your animal
Dear time can melt your safety belt although it's scared
Is it absurd to feel relief towards the thief or are your pretty lines becoming blurred?
________________________________________
Stronger wind has disciplined the thickest-skinned
It’s strange because although the night put up a fight soon came the light
It always does
And for the tears of endless fears remember this, you’re/it’s beautiful
As time is old and space too big to comprehend
My love will never bend

The lions are sleeping tonight
They cannot afford
To be sleepy the day the ants devour the world
The foxes are dimming the lights
They don't understand
The bait's not out of reach but it's out of hand
I'm in you, you're in me,
Body fluids are our family
Don't get up
Hold my arm, steal my face
Hack into my database, it’s yours and mine
A flash of light started the fight
That ended with ease
Leaving the elephant in the room with tears
A new day came troubled and hurt
But look at the view
It's beautiful and clear and I love you too
I'm in you, you're in me,
Body fluids are our family
Don't get up
Hold my arm, steal my face
Hack into my database, it’s yours and mine
I'm in you, you're in me,
Body fluids are our family
Don't get up
Endless time, empty space
Take me to your hiding place and we'll be fine
Do me when u wanna do me
Oh my baby, oh my baby
|

Oh No
02:57
|
|||
Oh no, she turned the radio off
What's she going to say?
She said, "baby, I love you less each and every day"
Oh no, packed is her portmanteau
My forehead's kissing the ground
That's what I'm used to doing when you're not around
We never had a thing to say and it's true
When the radio is all we have how can I feel blue?
Oh my, forgot that I don't know
I do it everyday
But I know I knew you, you can't take that away
I feel my nosetrils expanding
My eyes looking down
Staring at what we all search for
In this dirty town
And you look and wink at me
And I throw a smile
But in my head the party's dead
So we can rest for awhile
Oh no,
I think I lost my keys

Carol

Carol, do you wanna break my heart?
Carol, do you wanna break my heart?
Going around with somebody else
Gotta be a nice guy I guess
Carol, do you wanna break my heart?
Carol says it's up to you
To live your life like someone who -
Knows what she is saying to -
Me? I know she said
She said you can see everything when you're
Living sunshiny dreams
Life itself's not what it seems
But I know she is real
Carol, do you wanna break my heart?
Carol, do you wanna make me sad?
Going around with somebody else
Gotta be a nice guy I guess
Carol, do you wanna break my heart?
You know life can be a slippery hill
And time flies by and makes you peel
And we've got plenty more to kill
But you will do just fine, yeah
And in the mirror all you see
Is life with logic, sanity
And everything you wish is true
Anyway, Carol, I'm so... glad I know you!! :D
Carol, do you wanna break my heart?
Carol, do you wanna make me sad?
Going around with somebody else
Gotta be a nice guy I guess
Carol, do you wanna break my heart?
Carol, do you wanna break some walls?
Carol, do you wanna save some souls?
Going around with somebody else, tearing me apart
Carol, do you wanna break my heart?
Carol, do you wanna break my heart?
Carol, do you wanna break my heart?

And then I start to wonder
What I'm doing here
It's so cold and it's almost morning
But that's the place I want to be
The only place that's mine
And knowing that my love is near
Sends shivers down my spine
I wanna be there all the time
And that's the place I want to be
The only place I know
The sun is up and I'm still here
Well, will you let me go?
My little friends, I love you so ✨

I am a lonely soul
I've got my head, it's so ok
I've got my room with things to play on
Still I'm a lonely soul
Burden's my yard, burden's my home
Stepping on stepping stones
And every step increasingly
Steep uncertainty
Is present
‘Cause when you're lonely as me
Things are bound to be
Unpleasant
And every step increasingly
Steep uncertainty
Is present
‘Cause when you're lonely as me
Things are bound to be
Unpleasant
Oops.
Still I don't feel revived
Grasping at straws, it’s how we survive
Gathering hints as rescue buoys
But I don’t see a sign
Take it away, it was never mine
Downhearted bottomline
Why do I even care? I do not even care
I’ve got some rhythm and some action
I love this rhythm and this action
I can’t be bothered with these thoughts now
I’ve got this infinite attraction
And a sweet chemical reaction
The other verses don’t matter now
And it sounds like -
Why do I even care? I do not even care
I’ve got some rhythm and some action
I love this rhythm and this action
I can’t be bothered with these thoughts now
I’ve got this fearless fascination
With any type of stimulation
No complication could bring me down
I am a lonely soul
I've got my head, it's so ok
I've got my room with things to play on
Still I'm a lonely soul
Out of my sight, out of my mind

Nature’s Symphony
05:11
|
|||
In the nature, there’s a find
That blows every scientist’s mind
It’s a puzzle, nonetheless,
Necessary for the world to progress
First you’re little, then you’re not
Like a star from a tiny dot
First connected, then it’s cut
We like to breathe and run and giggle, but -
We're not afraid of growing old
There's a time and a place for us to be
We're not afraid of getting cold
It's the nature's symphony
As the tiger makes a roar
And then ain’t that loud anymore
As the cheetah‘s never last
And then no longer can it run as fast
We’re becoming slow as well
And quieter in parallel
Nonetheless we laugh about
We're afraid of war and diseases, but -
We're not afraid of growing old
There's a time and a place for us to be
We're not afraid of getting cold
It's the nature's symphony
Little spider turns into a bigger spider
Takes off its skin and it's grown
"Take a look at my skin, I am no longer there!"
An empty shell, an empty home
You turn around when you hear a roar
Coming from the depth of your drawer
Deep inside, to your surprise,
Are the cheetah and tiger from before
"Check this out", they say successively,
“I have sound” -”and I have velocity”
Dotage is yet far ahead
And of being young, too, we’re not afraid
We're not afraid of growing old
There's a time and a place for us to be
We're not afraid of getting cold
It's the nature's symphony
Little spider turns into a bigger spider
Takes off its skin and it's grown
"Take a look at my skin, I am no longer there!"
An empty shell, an empty home
Little spider turns into a bigger spider
Little spider turns into a monster spider
Takes off its skin and it's grown
"Take a look at my skin, I am no longer there!"
An empty shell, an empty home

Untitled #7 ("i wonder")

I wonder if you think of me too
When you're alone
Touching yourself
And I guess there is nothing to do
Sighing a sigh
Watching the days go by

Because of the Wind II
04:06
|

I am drifting away
Because of the wind
Pass by me, getting inside me
And seeing everything
As of late it turns out
It means everything
Winding shy
Turning a blind eye
Supporting every wing
I’m descending along
And so is the rain
My lover’s looking for cover
From freezing drops of pain
It’s been ever so clear
It clears me again
Politely, ever so slightly
Will I see you somewhen?
And as new fears shape words
And old fears shape the prayer
Cold wind distorts my skin
Hot wind distorts the air
Cold wind distorts my skin
Hot wind distorts the air
We were hiding on shelves
Avoiding ourselves
Surprise me, do it so nicely
Your song brings me to life
You were still for so long
But now you are seen
Don’t worry, make yourself comfy
I’ll make you breakfast and coffee
Do tell me how it’s been
And as small glimpse makes look
And bigger glimpse makes stare
Cold wind distorts my skin
Hot wind distorts the air
Still air gets us nowhere
But slowly we begin
Because of the wind

Fairytale
It's hard to tell
Reality from dream
Still we try, a passerby
Got lost within this scheme
Fairytale
My pleasant jail
My cozy Iron Chair
Out of sense by coincidence
Into the open air
Copycat once told me that
Things aren't the way they seem
In the nest inside my chest
Reality and dream

I said, "girl, you've gotta be mine"
She said, "boy, you've gotta be crazy"
I said, "girl, you've gotta be my baby"
She said, "boy, you've gotta be mad"
I'm not mad, I walk in mud
So say a word to make me feel belong
I'm like you, it's in my blood
I've been awake for far too long
I'm not mad, I walk in mud
So say a word to make me feel belong
I'm like you, it's in my blood
I've been awake for far too long

The Waiting Game
03:00
|

It’s not that I’m lazy but I need you to save me
My head’s falling down, it’s been getting so heavy
It’s not what I’ve said, excuse me, go ahead
I’m sorry, I must have misread
It’s not that I fear of degrading down here
It’s happening slowly to everyone
But we’re destroying ourselves apart
I’d like to destroy myself only with you
But the cells are wasted
The waiting game, I hate it
I miss your touch
I'm mr. touch too much
What the hell?
It’s not that I’m lazy but I need you to save me
My head’s falling down, it’s been getting so heavy
It’s not what I’ve said, excuse me, go ahead
I’m sorry, I must have misread

It’s happening slowly to everyone
But we’re destroying ourselves apart
I’d like to destroy myself only with you
But the cells are wasted
The waiting game, I hate it
I’m mr. touch
I miss your touch too much
What the hell?
But the cells are wasted
The waiting game, I absolutely hate it
I miss your touch
I’m mr. touch too much
What the hell?

Back in the times of walking prisoners
There was this one girl, one girl
Sometimes I think I wanna go back
To the place I've known, green-black
Since I've left my heart at the Green House
When I see her:
+ Instruments are playing
When I see her:
+ My eyes are closed
When I see her:
+ Stars are falling
___________________
Love
Where is she now? I wouldn't know
On her satellite, "Rainbow"?
If you hear me on your radio
Send a sign to me, don't go
Since I've left my heart at the green house
It can't be found
Look around, you'll see it
Come on, look around, I care
Come on, look around, I'd love you anywhere
Mines of misunderstandings on the way
And it was so long ago
But I'm still thinking of you
All the time
All the time
All the time

A Never Goodbye
03:45
|
|||
I know a bird
Came here from a dream world
He never talks
Or at least I've never heard
One moment you're touching the sky
One moment you're saying goodbye
It's intense
Yada yada yada ya
Yada yada yada ya
And I'm on the fence
So I cry, then I sigh
A never goodbye
I know a unicorn
Came here from a strange home
She'd like to ride
The ferris wheel on cyanide
One moment you're casting a spell
One moment you're bidding farewell
It's intense
Yada yada yada ya
Yada yada yada ya
And I'm on the fence
So I cry, then I sigh
A never goodbye
I know a cat
But I'm not sure about that
We'd play around
Until she's had enough of that
One moment you're my night and day
One moment you're slipping away
It's intense
Yada yada yada ya
Yada yada yada ya
And I'm on the fence
So I cry, then I sigh
A never goodbye
So I cry, then I sigh
A never goodbye
|

And it's so hard to
Get to you
Just promise me you'll always
Love me like you do
I'll never forget you
And it's so hard to
Get to you
Just promise me you'll always
Love me like you do
I'll say goodbye to you
And it's so hard to
Get to you
Just promise me you'll always
Love me like you do
I'll never forget you
And it's so hard to
Get to you
Just promise me you'll always
Love me like you do
I'll say goodbye to you

Miki, don’t you want to be with me?
The words I am looking for now kill me somehow
Miki, please don’t say to me goodbye
In this pond where we swim so lighthearted
I sometimes feel a certain weight
It’s when parts of my emotion conflict with your motion
Let me elaborate
My belly would tell me
That beyond doubt you’re my pretty sanctuary
But you always swim too fast ahead, and instead
It’s like a huge-ass centipede is biting on my heart
(+ stupid centipede, biting on my heart, and)
It’s alarming
It’s a problem
It’s a bother
It is gruesome
It’s escorting me to sleep, and takes me out of bed
Leading to a certain question that I dread
Miki, don’t you want to be with me?
The words I am looking for now kill me somehow
Miki, please don’t say to me goodbye
I can’t seem to let this thing die
"Oh, Miki", I cry
If all the world were Jell-O
And whipped cream filled the sea
Then the words I would find, there’s no doubt in my mind,
Would mean you’d be with me
And then I’d hold your hand
And we’d explore this jelly land
At the same pace we’d swim
In the whipped cream
And walk on the sugar sand
In the sand we’d build a castle
For the princess and her camel
Sweet sun would smile and say it’s good that you’re with me
Miki, what comes after “don’t you want to be”?
Miki, don’t you want to be with me?
The words I am looking for now kill me somehow
Miki, please don’t say to me goodbye
I can’t seem to let this thing die
"Oh, Miki", I cry
Miki, don’t you want to be with me?
Sweet dreams are metal beams
They’re not reality
I smile, you swim ahead of me 🌞

Lips, Hips, Fingertips
02:17
|

Lips, hips, fingertips
Sun hair, moon eyes
Feeding cotton candy to my butterflies
Still I silently caress your hair
As you turn your head and blindly at me stare
Lips, hips, fingertips
Sun hair, moon eyes
Feeding cotton candy to my butterflies
Still I silently caress your hair
As you turn your head and blindly at me stare
You blindly at me stare

With the beer hot the sister on telly so difficult
(Let's fight tonight)
Let's fight, let's fight
Baby, fight me
Baby, kill yourself
(Let's fight tonight)
Troubled waters is a myth
Fill my ocean only with
Whatever makes you think that I want that? Well, I want that
Loud emotions underfed
Out of ten I'm getting red
Whatever makes you think I deserve it? Well, I know it
Let's fight, let's fight
We don't have to sleep
Baby, kill yourself
(Let's fight tonight)
If I found a wandering shoe
Feeling up for something new
Whatever makes you think that I want that like I want you?
Scaphism at dinner time
Love forever paradigm
What makes me real? Is that the momentum or the impact?
Let's roll, let's roll
Baby, roll with me
Sacrifice yourself; be kind to me

The Sun Will Die Someday
04:01
|
|||
Five, four, three, two, one
We're going down
What's gonna happen to us?
What's gonna happen to us?
And when the sun will die we'll have to die as well
But it's you I am thinking of
Five, four, three, two, one
We're going down
What's gonna happen to us?
What's gonna happen to us?
And when the sun will die we'll have to die as well
But it's you I am thinking of
Goodbye to memories, it's been so nice
Being a part of the show
It's sad but we have to go
Don't say you didn't know the sun's not here to stay
Say goodbye, my friend
Like we've always said
The sun will die someday

Untitled #13 ("kermit")
12:45
|

Kermit, I've lost it
In a crazy tune
Distinct, I see right through it
Every afternoon
Every afternoon I sit and stare and later look elsewhere
But you don't see
You're the only one I'd really like to see on national tv
R2, where are you?
Searched all night and day
It’s been a battle between
Help is on its way
Oh my dear, it's hot in here
Should you appear or is this just a careless dream?
Anyway, I'd love to play, would you be the defender in my team?
We live inside a lazy
Room with no windows, baby
We'd like to show you what the fuss is all about
And where it’s at
And if the room keeps spinning
My dear, we won't be winning
A screw or two to keep the structure out of speed, is what you need
We're ticked off! So take it off!
We're ticked off! So take it off!
We're ticked off! So take it off!
We're ticked off! So take it off!
Hello again, good morning
Please listen to our warning
Some fly, some burn, and in the end we're all washed out
But don't freak out
We have a nuclear rocket
12 feet inside your pocket
And rainbow fireworks to really set the tone
To combat zone
We're ticked off! So take it off!
We're ticked off! So take it off!
We're ticked off! So take it off!
We're ticked off! So take it off!
We're ticked off! So take it off!
We're ticked off! So take it off!
We're ticked off! So take it off!
We're ticked off, so take it off
I speak a lot of nouns
But it’s nothing like your name
If I’d be missing you
Well then who would take the blame?
We're ticked off! So take it off!
We're ticked off! So take it off!
We're ticked off! So take it off!
We're ticked off! So take it off!
We're ticked off! So take it off!
We're ticked off! So take it off!
We're ticked off! So take it off!
We're ticked off, so take it off
There is a secret path
And it tells me where to go
Sometimes it has enough
And then my mind starts to show
Short delays, summer days
With a sun so big and blind
That’s gonna die someday
Well then, again, I don’t mind
And as proof I present you now with this next section:
I don’t even care
I don’t even care
I don’t even care
I don’t give a damn
Talking in language, doesn't make sense
Playing hide and seek with my declining confidence
Going in rounds you can never see the point
Located in the center between my wrist and my joint
Pink (red) smoke (red) contaminates the air
I’m breathing only numbers, what do you care?
When the mantra comes back with an asthma attack
We’re expected to neglected and then finally go back to where
I don’t even care
I don’t even care
I don’t even care
I don’t give a damn
Every second chance had to start with a mistake
Which was born out of a so-to-speak or actual bellyache
Nervous endings sending electronic signals to your brain
As it happened then and later and again and again and again
A roller chain, the tooth cannot explain
The amount of sugar it’s been through is too much to contain
But it’s only gas, and this too shall pass
A dream team of a sun and a magnifying glass
I don’t even care (you tell them, boy)
I don’t even care
Yeah, I don’t even care
I don’t give a damn
Lost in a black hole from *911, what's your emergency?*
Completely lost my line of thought on which I hang my drape
Lost in a black hole from which there’s no *Excuse me?*
Completely lost my line of thought on which I hang my drape
Lost in a black hole from which there’s no escape
Completely lost *Alright, uhh, where are you?* which I hang my drape
Lost in a black hole from which there’s no escape
Completely lost my line of thought on which *It's ok, sir, let's work this out*
Lost in a black hole from which there’s no escape
Completely lost my line of thought on which I hang my drape
Lost in a black hole from which there’s no escape
Completely lost my line of thought on which I hang my drape
He doesn’t even care
He doesn’t even care
He doesn’t even care
He doesn’t give a damn
Welcome,
Welcome,
Uhh, welcome, hello, and, thank you.
Uhh, it's 5:26 in the morning of December 25th, 2021, here in the Chefetage rehearsal room, umm, in Lange Str. 3 in Leipzig, Germany.
Uhh, anyway, the song will now slow down, come to a halt, rewind all the way to the beginning, and then will come the final part.
I am lost somewhere in time and after me’s a clone
Going everywhere I go and won’t leave me alone
There are ghosts and fingerposts but don’t you feel despair
If you don’t know where you’re going any road will get you there
If you don’t know where you’re going any road will get you there
