what it's all about
03:19
|
|||
an endless film i’m running through
where some bands and clubs have changed.
but all those kids still remain
and some have long become my friends.
an endless song i’m listening to
about some friends, a family.
it’s about the passion and the dreams
and about untold stories yet to come.
monday night, we play these songs,
friday night, there’s a show.
i’ll be there all those nights
‘cause this is what it’s all about.

conversation

are you on? where's your phone?
are your apps up to date?
yes, i'm on, here's my phone.
it's always here, so near and dear.
there is more than this phone,
don't just chat, talk to us.
i don’t wanna sell a thing to you,
i don't wanna get no cash from you.
it's all about non-profit,
i just wanna have a talk to you.
do you dare not to wipe?
is this real, it's your deal?
no, i don't, really dare.
i've got no choice, but to follow my voice.
there is more than this phone.
don't just chat, talk to us.

falling apart
02:18
|

falling apart on the dark side of the moon
where everything fails, but this is life.
falling apart on the dark side of the moon
where the sun doesn’t shine but that‘s reality.
a self-constructed hamster-wheel
takes you off, into this emptiness.
a self-constructed hamster-wheel
throws you out into reality.
don’t step back and throw this brick.
face the truth, be the first to run.

sometimes
03:20
|

sometimes i’m a liar and i don’t know why.
sometimes i’m a thief hoping that times can change.
i’m starring at the mirror and comfort is facing me.
i’m looking at the world and conformity is everywhere.
sometimes life’s a self-delusion.
sometimes i am so imperfect.
sometimes life’s a self-delusion.
sometimes i want to see a change.
sometimes i’m a cheater and i start to think.
sometimes i'm a fool but i know, i can change.
i’m starring at the mirror and comfort is facing me.
i’m looking at the world and conformity is everywhere.

not the one
03:29
|

stay straight, go ahead, do not ever look back.
you’re the one, there’s no doubt, do not ever question.
no regrets and no fear, do not ever be afraid.
you’re the one, found your place, do not ever hesitate.
do i like your attitude? should i really imitate?
what’s your goal? do you know? am i really different?
i am not the one. you are not the one.
the one you think i am. the one you think you are.
step back and think again. you are maybe not the one.

suffer
04:29
|

do you know this feeling deep inside your mind?
it comes out every time you’re feeling sad and want to cry.
thinking about sad times and my anger starts to rise.
the hypocrites believe what they say, humanity follows their way.
now it’s the time to be strong before everything goes wrong.
stand up and do what you want,
enough with the blind trust, call to arms.
thinking about sad times and my anger starts to rise.
the hypocrites believe what they say, humanity follows their way.
now it’s the time to be strong before everything goes wrong.
stand up and do what you want,
enough with the blind trust, before it all comes to dust.
fight against that empty feeling that’s deep inside your mind.
let’s allow to fix this suffer with real love and honest trust.
not everything in this world consists of anger and hate.
you have to believe in yourself,
you are the one who makes the difference.

could we have helped
or was it your plan
to slip through our hands
and do it your way.
should we have tried
to show you the light
at the end of this tunnel
so you could win the fight.
don't sit down, choose to walk the line.
take your chance, don't sit down.
take your chance, go straight ahead.

this world is not for us
03:04
|
|||
you got all, all i want.
maybe i got all you'd need.
what keeps me here,
you'll be missing there.
i see you dance to these melodies.
you won't see me sitting here.
what holds me back
you'll never find.
this world is not for us,
we both have our doubts about where to go.
this world is not for us,
we're still grasping for those missing parts.

wasteland
02:20
|
|||
i'm sitting and i'm playing, yet another game has started. i’m going again because i’ve nothing more to lose. my dreams are dancing in the dark and my generation is not longing for action but grasping for all the options. i play this game but my life is waiting. nothing really excites me, and everything excites me.
i’m standing and i’m thinking, yet another test has started. i’m running again because i’ve got everything to lose. my plans are disappearing and my generation is no longer saving the world but putting up with old solutions. i’m making this effort while my life is still waiting. nothing really excites me and everything excites me.
are we gonna fall? what are we gonna lose? would i feel ashamed of the things i will see?

i can't see
02:17
|
|||
it started like love back when i was younger.
all you see is golden, you reach the sky.
no battles to fight, no reason to doubt.
all the comforts that sweeten the pain.
it’s just after years that everything falls apart.
masks get unmasked, i somehow try to escape.
but the former ease has simply slipped through my hands.
the truth gets unravelling and leaves me hear alone.
i’m still searching the key to unlock this world,
to see where my path will lead me to.
and i still can’t see through.

these walls were black, red and green.
this bar realrocked for me and you.
a place to spend Saturday nights.
15 years won't fade away.
these walls were hard, tough and tall.
this bar saw me waiting for you.
a garage to spend Wednesday nights.
15 years have left its marks.
i don't remember all the shows,
i don't remember all the nights.
but there have always been high times
and some memories will stay.
do you remember all the shows?
do you remember all the nights?
i'm sure you do, yes you do
'cause these memories will stay

good time
03:03
|

hanging at river, talking to each other.
everything is fine, we have no problem.
i love this feeling when i don’t have to work.
i do what i want and do nothing for those jerks.
it’s summer and the sun shines bright,
a beer in my hand on a friday night.
everything is alright,
i have my woman by my side.
it’s summer and the sun shines bright,
a few beers are ready for tonight.
everything is alright,
me and my friends are having a good time.
living every day like it’s saturday night.
you have to do it right, it’s your only life.
life is good today, we have no worry.
that’s why we stay and have no hurry.
