Quiet boy

Uh he's a quiet boy, that's for sure
Quite boys are boring in my point of view
What's the use of such introverted ones?
Like a dumb muted spaceman alone on a frozen moon
Let's tear down the walls of silent tranquillity!
Let us free him because he's got to suffer from dormancy!
Or he'll never be a winner or a superhero
Retied from the world and so incommunicado
All he needs to do is to start talking
All he needs to do is to start being like me
Uh he's a quiet boy, not quite sane
Maybe a nice guy in his loser's game
A system that creeps in silent mode
But if he decides to live on a tree he's got to eat leaves
Let's tear down the walls of silent tranquillity!
Let us free him because he's got to suffer from dormancy!
Or he'll never be a winner or a superhero
Retied from the world and so incommunicado
All he needs to do is to start talking
All he needs to do is to start being like me
I mean, I don't get it! It's just a basic ability
You open and shut your mouth while you use your tongue
That shouldn't be too hard to do, what do you think?
How does he spend his day anyway?
He's got to bore himself to death
Well, it's none of my business but it's really bothering me
seeing such living sedative – depressive killjoy!
Quiet boy!
Quiet boy, who do you think you are, Major Tom or whoever?
Quiet boy!
Let's tear down the walls of silent tranquillity!
Let us free him because he's got to suffer from dormancy!
Or he'll never be a winner or a superhero
Retied from the world and so incommunicado
All he needs to do is to start talking
All he needs to do is to start being like me
Now stop listening to this pseudo progressive nerding stuff!
It has to sound like this!
Let's tear down the walls of silent tranquillity!
Let us free him because he's got to suffer from dormancy!
Or he'll never be a winner or a superhero
Retied from the world and so incommunicado
All he needs to do is to start talking
All he needs to do is to start being like me
Quiet boy!
Now start listen to me!
It is so fucking loud in here!
Quiet boy, help me!

Stealing time

It's culture we're proud of
While we declare ourselves able to love
We do our duty, do our jobs
Call it the pride of creation
But we're only left behind
Just an abandoned big experiment
We close our eyes and don't dare to see
How we depend on everything – hopelessly
In my luxury cyber-AI-Prison
I always hoped on one single chance
That one day they finally open the door
With the kill to kill my boredom
But still my life keeps passing by
Like my tears of frustration run out dry
Doubt and shuffle's all I do
Is there anyone who can help me through?
My cry chucks in possibilities
Of where my way could lead me to
They say "Hey, carry it like a man
you should know by now where you belong!"
Think I should attack the system
Try to change it from within
Into the roar of all the stupid
I shut my mouth and start to feel
They're just
Stealing time
Slipping away with each ticking of the clock
While you feel you're getting older
And your heart turns back to dust
Still, it's just
Wasted time
Praying for sense on a long forgotten island
A forsaken fool 's dry land
Throwing life just like a bone

View at the sea
07:29
|

|
The lanterns are turned on now
The visitors are gone
The boats are in the harbour now
The child returns home
Whatever dark thought echoes in your heart
Whatever weary sigh burdens your smile
It is the evensong
It is the rebound to breath
With the view at the sea
The noise falls silent slowly
And shop's doors finally close
Beach empties out by and by
A calming twilight grows
Whatever dark thought echoes in your heart
Whatever weary sigh burdens your smile
It is the evensong
It is the rebound to breath
With the view at the sea
And even though the suffering
And pain still lingers on
The sorrow can't be wiped away
So you have to carry on
One day
Whatever dark thought echoes in your heart
Whatever weary sigh burdens your smile
It is the evensong
It is the rebound to breath
With the view at the sea

It is by no means an irrational fancy that, in a future existence
We shall look upon what we think your present existence
As a dream
(Edgar Allan Poe)
Dance my song of ghost, my love
Feel the kiss of frost, my love
And further still
Dream on you will
Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those
Who dream only by night
(Edgar Allan Poe)
Dance my song of ghost, my love
Feel the kiss of frost, my love
And further still
Dream on you will
A million candles have burned themselves out
Still I read on
(Edgar Allan Poe)
I am a writer
Therefore, I am not sane
(Edgar Allan Poe)
Dance my song of ghost, my love
Feel the kiss of frost, my love
And further still
Dream on you will
Men have called me mad
But the question is not yet settled
Whether madness is or is not the loftiest intelligence
(Edgar Allan Poe)

Don't unlearn to smile
11:13

Don't unlearn to smile
Cast a glance in the mirror
Remove your scrapes and bruises
Tear down the self-accuses
In the middle of the night
Don't unlearn to smile
They're already expecting you
To disguise your own kindness
You're a victim of your blindness
To hide behind such angry eyes
Don't unlearn to smile
Rest for a while
Don't let them aggrieve you
Don't let them easily deceive you
And don't unlearn
Don't unlearn to smile
Don't let them win the day
Don't let them break you
Don't let them cynically fake you
And don't unlearn
Don't unlearn to smile
Every monster in time
Polyphemus and Goliath
Argos and the Hydra
Were finally defeated
Don 't unlearn to smile
If there really isn't anyone
Throughout the world, under the sun
To care and listen to your song
Just brave the malice and sing along
Don't unlearn to smile
Rest for a while
Don't let them aggrieve you
Don't let them easily deceive you
And don't unlearn
Don't unlearn to smile
Don't let them win the day
Don't let them break you
Don't let them cynically fake you
And don't unlearn
Don't let them beak you
Never
Don't unlearn to smile
Rest for a while
Don't let them aggrieve you
Don't let them easily deceive you
And don't unlearn
Don't unlearn to smile
Don't let them win the day
Don't let them break you
Don't let them cynically fake you
And don't unlearn

Silent waiting
09:06

She's starring out of the window
The garden lays in mist's claw
Seems that light will get here nevermore
Her husband's gone now
Her son lives on
In a picture of a soldier
And a couple of field post letters, well
That is really long gone now but a wound that never heals
She hasn't heard of her daughter since twelve and a half years
She is living her own life now in her own kind of community
And the lady hopes that she's happy
"If I could just talk to you for a minute!
Just to know, you are happy, just to know it's all right.
And if I could just see you for a minute and strike your head like I used to
When you were still my child. But you don't answer me"
She' still starring out of the window
A little rain pours on wet ground
Like her sadness, it adds to the tears of all those years
Who wanders she's embittered
Hates war and religion?
Now at least she's got a reason
She's got a real good reason
There's nothing she can chance, and this wound will never heel
While she won't understand the sacrifices for the love of this personal good – whatever
"Mary, can't you hear me, can it be the right way, to be silent where answers are demanded?"
"If I could just talk to you for a minute!
Just to know, you are happy, just to know it's all right.
And if I could just see you for a minute and strike your head like I used to
When you were still my child. But you don't answer me"
So you preach you know god
How can you cause pain like that?
So you preach you know god
How can you cause pain like that?
She's starring out of the window
The stars they guide her longings
What remains is silent waiting

All wild winds
14:06
|

Let's go out, my son, and taste the world
You need to feel that you're alive
How long shall you dream of living your life
Without any harm?
Fear will force you to always just sit and wait
For the perfect moment
While you can ride all wild winds
You can ride all wild winds
You can ride all wild winds
Let's go out, my son, and taste the world
There will be something out there to see
To love, to explore and admire
If only you'd find courage
And don't give a damn to bad experiences
They 'll haunt and oppress you
While you can ride all wild winds
You can ride all wild winds
You can ride all wild winds
Here and now
Live in the here and the now
Here and now
Live in the here and the now
And you live as if you're paralyzed, as if you're petrified
While your thoughts go round and round
And you live as if you're freezed, as if fate is displeased with you
While your thoughts go round and round
And again, and again
Voices talk about failure and misgiving, doubt and self-distrusting
And you live as if you're paralyzed, as if you're petrified
While your thoughts go round and round
And you live as if you're freezed, as if fate is displeased with you
While your thoughts go round and round
Fear destroys
Angst destroys
Anguish destroys
Noone ever will give you guarantee
Noone ever knows how it's gonna be
This is the contract that you should agree
In daring to dare you'll be free
And the past will be an open book,
That you can read
Or you can close
So go out, my son, and taste the world
Don't hide in your shell
There's more to life than expecting the worst
Who could ever demand this?

But in the now everything's fine
Just in the now it is the only Christmas time
Although there are so many
Issues so knotty
There's nowhere I 'd rather be
You here with me
Let there be light let there be love
Let there be sounds of joy
Let there be light let there be love
Let there be sounds of joy
But in the now everything's fine
Just in the now it is the only Christmas time
Although there are so many
Issues so knotty
There's nowhere I 'd rather be
You here with me
Let there be light let there be love
Let there be sounds of joy
Let there be light let there be love
Let there be sounds of joy
But in the now everything's fine
Just in the now it is the only Christmas time
Although there are so many
Issues so knotty
This one's for sure and it's true
I love you
