R.E.M. - The Outsiders

You took me to the restaurant where we first met
You knocked a future shock crowbar upside my head
I got caught with the stop of the tick-tock, tick-tock clock
When you told me what you knew

Lost in the moment
The day that the music stopped
And I do remember you

Drawing patterns with a cork on the tablecloth
Promising volcanic change of plot
Where will this lead us - I'm scared of the storm
The outsiders are gathering, a new day is born

I tried to tell you I am not afraid
You looked up and saw it all across my face
So am I with you or am I against
I don't think it's that easy - we're lost in regret

Now I'm trying to remember
The feeling when the music stopped
When you told me what you knew

Lost in the moment
The day that the music stopped
And I do remember you

Drawing patterns with a cork on the tablecloth
Promising volcanic change of plot
Where does this leave us - I'm scared of the storm
The outsiders are gathering, a new day is born

Drawing patterns with a cork on the tablecloth
Promising volcanic change of plot
Where does this leave us - I'm scared of the storm
The outsiders are gathering, a new day is born

The outsiders are gathering, a new day is born
The outsiders are gathering

A man walks away when every muscle says to stay
How many yesterdays - they each weigh heavy
Who says what changes may come?
Who says what we call home?
I know you see right through me, my luminescence fades
The dusk provides an antidote, I am not afraid
I've been a million times in my mind
This is really just a technicality, frailty, reality

Uh, it's time to breathe, time to believe
Let it go and run towards the sea
They don't teach that, they don't know what you mean
They don't understand, they don't know what you mean
They don't get it, I wanna scream
I wanna breathe again, I wanna dream
I wanna float a quote from Martin Luther King

I am not afraid
I am not afraid
I am not afraid

[Parallax]

Good Charlotte - Predictable

Something isn't right,
I can feel it again, feel it again.
This isn't the first time,
That you left me waiting.
Sad excuses and false hopes high,
I saw this coming, still I don't know why,
I let you in.
I knew it all along,
You're so predictable.
I knew something would go wrong... (Something's going wrong...)
So you don't have to call,
Or say anything at all.
You're so predictable... (So predictable...)
So take your empty words,
Your broken promises.
And all the time you stole,
Cause I am done with this.
I could give it away, give it away,
I'm doing everything I should've.
And now I'm making a change,
I'm living today.
I'm giving back what you gave me,
I don't need anything.
I knew it all along,
You're so predictable.
I knew something would go wrong... (Something's going wrong...)
So you don't have to call,
Or say anything at all.
You're so predictable... (So predictable...) Now everywhere I go,
Everyone I meet,
Every time I try to fall in love,
They all want to know why I'm so broken.
Why I am I so cold,
Why I'm so hard inside.
Why am I scared?
What am I afraid of?
I don't even know, this story's never had an end.
I've been waiting,
I've been searching,
I've been hoping,
I've been dreaming you would come back,
But I know the ending of this story.
And you're never coming back,
Never...
Never, never, never, never...
Never, never, never, never...
Never, never, never, never...
I knew it all along,
You're so predictable.
I knew something would go wrong... (Something's going wrong...)
So you don't have to call,
Or say anything at all.
So predictable... (So predictable...)
Everywhere I go for the rest of my life,
Everyone I love, (So predictable...)
Everyone I care about,
They're all gonna want to know what's wrong with me
And I know what it is... (So predictable...)
What it is is right now

Green Day ~ Boulevard Of Broken Dreams


I walk a lonely road
- the only one that I have ever known
...don't know where it goes
but it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
on the boulevard of broken dreams
when the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone...I walk alone
I walk alone...I walk a


My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
...till then I'll walk alone...

I'm walking down the line
that divides me somewhere in my mind
on the border line
of the edge
and where I walk alone

...read between the lines
of what's fucked up
and everything's all right
...check my vital signs
to know I'm still alive
and I walk alone

I walk alone...I walk alone
I walk alone...I walk a

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
...till then I'll walk alone...

I walk this empty street
on the boulevard of broken dreams
where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one
and I walk a

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
...till then I'll walk alone...

Eminem ~ If I Had


Life... by Marshall Mathers
What is life?
Life is like a big obstacle put in front of your optical to slow you down
And everytime you think you gotten past it it's gonna come back around
And tackle you to the damn ground

What are friends?
Friends are people that you think are your friends
But they really your enemies, with secret indentities and disguises,
To hide they true colors
So just when you think you close enough to be brothers
They wanna come back and cut your throat when you ain't lookin'

What is money?
Money is what makes a man act funny
Money is the root of all evil
Money'll make them same friends come back around
Swearing that they was always down

What is life?
I'm tired of life
I'm tired of backstabbing ass snakes with friendly grins
I'm tired of committing so many sins
Tired of always giving in when this bottle of Henny wins
Tired of never having any ends
Tired of having skinny friends hooked on crack and mini-thins
I'm tired of this DJ playing your shit when he spins
Tired of not having a deal'
Tired of having to deal with the bullshit without grabbing the steel
Tired of drowning in my sorrow
Tired of having to borrow a dollar for gas to start my Monte Carlo
I'm tired of motherfuckers spraying shit and dartin' off
I'm tired of jobs startin' off at five fifty an hour
Then this boss wonders why I'm smartin' off
I'm tired of being fired everytime I fart and cough
Tired of having to work as a gas station clerk for this jerk breathing down my neck driving me bezerk
I'm tired of using plastic silverware
Tired of working in Builders Square
Tired of not being a millionaire


[Chorus]
But if I had a million dollars I'd buy a damn brewery, and turn the planet into alcoholics
If I had a magic wand, I'd make the world suck my dick without a condom on, while I'm on the john
If I had a million bucks it wouldn't be enough, because I'd still be out robbing armored trucks
If I had one wish I would ask for a big enough ass for the whole world to kiss

[Eminem]
I'm tired of being white trash, broke and always poor
Tired of taking pop bottles back to the party store
I'm tired of not having a phone
Tired of not having a home to have one in if I did have one on
Tired of not driving a BM Tired of not working at GM, tired of wanting to be him
Tired of not sleeping without a Tylenol PM
Tired of not performing in a packed coliseum
Tired of not being on tour
Tired of fucking the same blonde whore after work in the back of a Contour
I'm tired of faking knots with a stack of ones
Having a lack of funds and resorting back to guns
Tired of being stared at I'm tired of wearing the same damn Nike Air hat
Tired of stepping in clubs wearing the same pair of Lugz
Tired of people saying they're tired of hearing me rap about drugs
Tired of other rappers who ain't bringin' half the skill as me saying they wasn't feeling me when nobody's as ill as me
I'm tired of radio stations telling fibs
Tired of J-L-B saying "Where Hip-Hop Lives"


[Chorus]

[Eminem]
You know what I'm saying? I'm tired of all of this bullshit
Telling me to be positive
How'm I 'sposed to be positive when I don't see shit positive?
Know what I'm sayin'? I rap about shit around me, shit I see Know what I'm sayin'?
Right now I'm tired of everything
Tired of all this player hating that's going on in my own city
Can't get no airplay, you know what I'm sayin'?
But ey, it's cool though, you know what I'm sayin'?
Just fed up
That's my word

[Ianus]

Lain - Duvet

And you don't seem to understand
A shame you seemed an honest man
And all the fears you hold so dear
Will turn to whisper in your ear
And you know what they say might hurt you
And you know that it means so much
And you don't even feel a thing

I am falling, I am fading
I have lost it all

And you don't seem the lying kind
A shame then I can read your mind
And all the things that I read there
Candle lit smile that we both share
and you know I don't mean to hurt you
But you know that it means so much
And you don't even feel a thing

I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning
Help me to breathe
I am hurting, I have lost it all
I am losing
Help me to breathe

[Serpico]

the blood brothers - my first kiss at the public execution

The carnival's glossy ghosts, zebra-painted horse parade,
the cotton candy prostitudes, caramel apple corpses singing,
"Just this way to the neon orange gallows!
Tonight we tie the noose around the killer's collar!
Watch him play his wind pipe organ!"
Just five dollars to see a face explode, to see a man strung up by his throat.
Come on, come all!
If you look close enough you'll see death's machinery exposed.
So won't you hold me closer, just one more minute, until the execution's over?
Won't you behead another, c'mon we're waiting, won't you shock and entertain us?
The hangman selling tickets to the sparkling death scene.
Tonight we watch the rope choke a concience clean.
See it up close, see it in person!
Your lips spun like revolving fun house doors as the hush kisses at your neck nape.
"Any final words for your loving audience?" says the man with the dazzling sapphire cape.
So won't you hold me closer, just one more minute, until the execution's over?
Won't you behead another, c'mon we're waiting, won't you shock and entertain us?
Until the end of the world?
Snap, snap, snap goes the neck.
"Rah, rah, rah!" the audience.
Black, black, black goes his face.
The sky spreads like thighs inside lace.

THE BLOOD BROTHERS

"Peacock Skeleton With Crooked Feathers"

If the sea shakes like an empty maraca
I know
and she falls in love with the sounds of ships sinking?
I know

Which peacock is beast? Which peacock is priest?
If the heavens part and nobody, nowhere, nothing,
every apartment is vacant, every home for rent?
Hey Peacock?
What's that?
I just want to know what your feathers are made out of.
Is it bruises or roses or cradles or coffins? (It's all those!)
Which peacock is beast? Which peacock is priest?
If your friends are all cripple, all wither, all wilt,
I know
and you smile at their pain on your angel bone stilts.
I know
Which peacock is beast? Which peacock is priest?

If the brick you throw puts a bullet in your skull
and a police boot lands atop your gaping jaw?
Hey Peacock?
What's that?
I just wanna know what the babies mouth is full of.
Is it flies or cries or straw?
Which peacock is beast? Which peacock is priest?
Which peacock's police? Which peacock is thief?

If machine guns come knock, knock, knocking
Who's cashing out your bad luck?
If wedding bells sound like death knells baby
is a wealthy groom worth all this gloom?
If tuxedos slither off corpses
and copulate wild on wedding cake
and the priest starts snapping photos?
There's a peacock on your shoulder
pole dancing around your neck
while reciting the Book of Revelation.

So who do you love?
Who do you trust when your friends take a match to your front lawn?
A panicked face makes the peacock proud.
So who do you love? Who do you trust?
Who do you kill when your senator drags out your first born?
A panicked face makes the peacock proud.

If the forests turn to static and the gnarled branches, too?
I know
Your body starts to fall into a concrete tutu?
I know
which peacock is beast? which peacock is priest?

If you strike for better wages at the cola factory
and they drink champagne as they kick in your teeth?
Hey Peacock?
What's that?
I just wanna know what his blood tasted like.
Was it like sugar or vinegar or whiskey or dirt? It's all those!
Which peacock is beast? Which peacock is priest?


If machine guns come knock, knock, knocking
Who's cashing out your bad luck?
If wedding bells sound like death knells baby
is a wealthy groom worth all this gloom?
If tuxedos slither off corpses
and copulate wild on wedding cake
and the priest starts snapping photos?
There's a peacock on your shoulder
pole dancing around your neck
while reciting the Book of Revelation.

Things are never what they seem, the peacocks static melodies.


So who do you love?
Who do you trust when your friends take a match to your front lawn?
A panicked face makes the peacock proud.
So who do you love? Who do you trust?
Who do you kill when your senator drags out your first born?
A panicked face makes the peacock proud.

A Perfect Circle - Imagine

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...

Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say Im a dreamer,
but I'm not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.


Söhne Mannheims - Und Wenn Ein Lied

Und wenn ein Lied meine Lippen verläßt,
dann nur damit du Liebe empfängst.
Durch die Nacht und das dichteste Geäst,
damit du keine Ängste mehr kennst.

Sag ein kleines Stückchen Wahrheit,
sieh wie die Wüste lebt.
Schaff ein kleines bißchen Klarheit,
und schau wie sich der Schleier hebt.
Eine Wüste aus Beton und Asphalt,
doch sie lebt und öffnet einen Spalt.
Der dir Neues zeigt,
zeigt, das Altes weicht.
Auch wenn dein Schmerz bis an den Himmel reicht.

Und wenn ein Lied meine Lippen verläßt
dann nur damit du Liebe empfängst.
Durch die Nacht und das dichteste Geäst
damit du keine Ängste mehr kennst.

Und wenn ein Lied meine Lippen verläßt
dann nur damit du Liebe empfängst.
Durch die Nacht und das dichteste Geäst
damit du keine Ängste mehr kennst.

Dieses Lied ist nur für dich,
schön, wenn es dir gefällt.
Denn es kam so über mich,
wie die Nacht über die Welt.
Schnellt Gefahr aus der Dunkelheit,
bin ich zum ersten Schlag bereit.
Ich bin der erste, der dich befreit,
und einer der letzten, der um dich weint.

Und wenn ein Lied meine Lippen verläßt
dann nur damit du Liebe empfängst.
Durch die Nacht und das dichteste Geäst
damit du keine Ängste mehr kennst.

In unserer Sanduhr fällt das letzte Korn,
ich habe gewonnen und hab ebenso verloren.
Jedoch missen möchte ich nichts,
alles bleibt unser gedanklicher Besitz.
Und eine bleibende Erinnerung,
Zwischen Tag und Nacht legt sich die Dämmerung.

Und wenn ein Lied meine Lippen verläßt,
dann nur damit du Liebe empfängst.
Durch die Nacht und das dichteste Geäst,
damit du keine Ängste mehr kennst.

Und wenn ein Lied meine Lippen verläßt,
dann nur damit du Liebe empfängst.
Durch die Nacht und das dichteste Geäst
damit du keine Ängste mehr kennst.

Damit du keine Ängste mehr kennst...

Damit du keine Ängste mehr kennst

Eigentlich wollte ich dieses Lied gerade mit einer Widmung für eine bestimme Person posten, die am WE ganz alleine sein wird...

Ich bin ganz schnell wieder bei dir!

Prime Sth - Evil Friend

This could be the end of something new
Erasing all the lies that I thought were true
The pain I have inside was just for me
The day I tried to live I could not breathe

And I feel that I'm about to lose this game again
Could this be the end?

I want to be inside this mystery
deleted by the files of sympathy
the dream I have inside can't be for real
the dream I have inside is so surreal

And I feel like I'm about to lose this game again
To the enemy in me, my evil friend
And I feel that I'm about to lose this game again
So could this be the end?

This could be the end of something new

And I feel that I'm about to lose this game again
To the enemy in me, my evil friend
And I feel that I'm about to lose this game again
So could this be the end?

slut - global cut

these are the walls, that will border my world now.
these are the corners, where I can retire.
these are the streets, I will slowly explore right now.

these are the clouds, that belong to my sky now.
these are the frames, right in front of my eyes.
this is what they would call freedom, right here ... right now.

these are the feelings, I’ll keep like a secret.
these are the words, I don’t need to explain.
these are my hopes, I’ll enjoy like a breakfast now.

please stop missing me.
stop missing me.
stop missing me now...

please stop missing me.
stop missing me.
stop missing me now...

these are containers for all my desires now.

these are the strangers, I want to discover.
these are the news, I don’t want you to hear.
some situations, I don’t really want to know.

please stop missing me,
stop missing me,
stop missing me now...

please stop missing me.
stop missing me.
stop missing me now...

would you please stop missing me.
stop missing me.
stop missing me now...

please stop missing me.
stop missing me.
stop missing me now...

Oasis - Wonderwall

Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now

Backbeat the word is on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
about you now

And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
But I don't know how

Because maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now

And all the roads that lead you there were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don't know how

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall

I said maybe (I said maybe)
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall

I said maybe (I said maybe)
You're gonna be the one that saves me (that saves me)
You're gonna be the one that saves me (that saves me)
You're gonna be the one that saves me (that saves me)

Interpol-Evil

Rosemary
Heaven restores you in life
Coming with me
Through the aging, the fear and the strife
It's the smiling on the package
It's the faces in the sand
It's the thought that holds you upwards
Embracing me with two hands
Write, we'll take you places
Yeah maybe to the beach
When your friends they do come crying
Tell them how your pleasure's set up on slow-release

Hey wait
Great smile
Sensitive to faith not
Denial
But hey whose on trial?

It took a life spent
With no cellmate
The long way back
Saying meanwhile can't we look the other way?

He speaks about travel
Yeah, we think about the land
We smile like all people
Feeling real tan
I can take you places
Do you need a new man?
Wipe the pollen from the faces
Make revision to a dream while you wait in the van

Hey wait
Great smile
Sensitive to faith not
Denial
But hey whose on trial?

It took a life spent
With no cellmate
Find a long way back
Saying meanwhile can't we look the other way?
You're weightless, you are exotic
You need something for which to care
Saying meanwhile can't we look the other way?

Leave some shards under the belly
Lay some grease inside my hand
It's a sentimental jury
And the makings of a good plan
You've come to love me nightly
Yeah you've come to hold me tight
Is this motion everlasting
Or do shutters pass in the night?

Rosemary
Oh heaven restores you in life
I spent a lifespan with no cellmate
The long way back
Saying meanwhile can't we look the other way?
You're weightless, semi-erotic
You need someone to take you there
Saying meanwhile can't we look the other way?
Why can't we just play the other game?
Why can't we just look the other way?

Tonic - You Wanted More

Love Is Tragic
Love Is Bold
You Will ALways
Do What You Are Told

Love Is Hard
Love Is Strong
You Will Never Say That You Were Wrong
I Don't Know When I Got Bitter
But Love Is Surely Better When It's Gone

'Cause You Wanted More
More Than I could Give
More than I could handle
In a life that I can't live
You wanted more
More than I could bear
More than I could offer
For a love that isn't there

Love is color
Love is loud
Love is never saying you're too proud
Love is trusting
Love is honest
Love is not a hand to hold you down
I don't know when I got bitter
But love is surely better when it's gone

'Cause You Wanted More
More Than I could Give
More than I could handle
In a life that I can't live
You wanted more
More than I could bear
More than I could offer
For a love that isn't there

I got to pick me up when I am down
I got to get my feet back on the ground
I got to pick me up when I am down

'Cause You Wanted More
More Than I could Give
More than I could handle
In a life that I can't live
You wanted more
More than I could bear
More than I could offer
For a love that isn't there

You wanted more
More than I could love
More than I could offer
The harder you would shove
You Wanted More
More Than I could Give
More than I could handle
In a life that I can't live

Die Ärzte - Kann es sein

wenn du eine triffst
die wie keine ist - fühlst, was lang in dir rumorte
(von der ganz speziellen sorte)
wenn sie deine welt
auf den kopf dir stellt - wo sind dann die richtigen worte?

kann das sein
ist sie (nicht) nur schein?
mach dir klar
sie ist wahr!

wenn du dir nicht traust - dir den weg verbaust
wirst du nie die wahrheit wissen
so etwas kennst du nicht - voll aus dem gleichgewicht
du fängst schon an sie zu vermissen

kann das sein
ist sie (nicht) nur schein?
mach dir klar
sie ist wahr!

alles was sie sagt - alles was sie fragt
wollte von dir noch niemand wissen
jedes wort aus ihrem mund - nimmt dir den atem und...
... du willst sie augenblicklich küssen

kann das sein - sie ist nicht nur schein
(sie ist mein?)
mir wird klar
sie ist wahr

Interpol - PDA

yours is the only version of my desertion that I could ever subscribe to
that is all that I can do
you are a past dinner the last winner I'm raking all around me
until the last drop is behind you

you're so cute when you're frustrated, dear
you're so cute when you're sedated, dear
i'm resting

sleep tight, grim right, we have two hundred couches
where you can sleep tight, grim right, we have two hundred couches
where you can sleep tight, grim right, we have two hundred couches
where you can sleep tonight, sleep tonight, sleep tonight, sleep tonight

you are the only person who’s completely certain there’s nothing here to be into
that is all that you can do
you are a past sinner, the last winner and everything we've come to
makes you you
and you cannot safely say while I will be away
that you will not consider sadly how you hurt me this free
you will not reach me I am resenting a position that is past resentment now I can consider now there is this distance so

sleep tight, grim right, we have two hundred couches
where you can sleep tight, grim right, we have two hundred couches
where you can sleep tight, grim right, we have two hundred couches
where you can sleep tonight, sleep tonight, sleep tonight, sleep tonight

something to say
something to do
nothing to say
when there's nothing to do


Beck - side of the road

Something better than this
Someplace I'd like to go
To let all I've learned
Tell me what I know
About the kind of life
I never thought I'd live
Till the ugly truth
Showed me what it did

Let it pass on the side of the road
What a friend could tell me now

On a borrowed dime
In different light
You might see what
The other side looks like
In a random room
Behind an iron door
Kick an empty can
Across an empty floor

Let it pass on the side of the road
What a friend could tell me now

[Ianus]

Tom Waits - We're all mad here

You can hang me in a bottle like a cat
Let the crows pick me clean but for my hat
Where the wailing of a baby
Meets the footsteps of the dead
We're all mad here

As the devil sticks his flag into the mud
Mrs Carol has run off with Reverend Judd
Hell is such a lonely place
And your big expensive face will never last

And you'll die with the rose still on your lips
And in time the heart-shaped bone that was your hips
And the worms, they will climb the rugged ladder of your spine
We're all mad here

And my eyeballs roll this terrible terrain
And we're all inside a decomposing train
And your eyes will die like fish
And the shore of your face will turn to bone

[Drakon]

Celldweller-Frozen
Inside this fantasy
It seems so real to me
Synthetic ecstasy, when her legs are open
True Love behind a wall
Where men and angels fall
A fading memory, when my mind is frozen
I can see a frozen point in time
Where her figure still awaits
Tongue of fire tracing lips outline
Where frozen breath originates
With one motion of her waiting eyes
She strips everything away
This one moment is intensified
And colors all fade to grey
I am in the only place that i want to be
Though we know that it ends eventually
But it's alright because right now we're frozen
I want to forget mistakes they've helped me make
It's better to be broken than to break
Inside this fantasy
It seems so real to me
Synthetic ecstasy, when her legs are open
True Love behind a wall
Where men and angels fall
A fading memory, when my mind is frozen
I can see a frozen point in time
That is easy to retrace
Light and darkness are both intertwined
The elements are in their place with
One motion of her wanting mind
The real world begins to fade
And all the hateful things I have become
Temporarily go away
Inside this fantasy
It seems so real to me
Synthetic ecstasy, when her legs are open
True Love behind a wall
Where men and angels fall
A fading memory, when my mind is frozen
When my mind's frozen:
I'll take you anwhere you want to go
Far from anything that feels like home (lets go)
You are anyone I want to be (it's here and now, and now it's only you and me)
It's never enough (mmm that's true)
I want to stay here (yeah, and I do too)
Breakin' it down(takin' it down)
With smell(smell), touch(touch, taste(taste), sight(sight), and sound(sound)
How long will I be here without you near because I'm so cold
Break them first or I'll get broken is not what I was told, now I'm so cold
I'm so cold
So cold
Inside this fantasy
It seems so real to me
Synthetic ecstasy, when her legs are open
True Love behind a wall
Where men and angels fall
A fading memory, when my mind is frozen
Inside this fantasy
It seems so real to me
Synthetic ecstasy, when her legs are open
True Love behind a wall
Where men and angels fall
A fading memory, when my mind is frozen

Interpol-Narc
Touch your thighs, I'm the lonely one
Remember that lass, because that was the right one
Oh, all your mysteries are moving in the sun
And show some love and respect
Wanna get some love and respect
Baby you can see that the gazing eye won't lie
Don't give up your lover tonight
Cause it's just you, me and this fire, alright
Let's tend to the engine tonight

Oh

She found a lonely sound
She keeps on waiting for time out there
Oh love, can you love me babe
Love, is this loving babe
Is time turning around

Feast your eyes, I'm the only one
Control me, console me
Cause that's just how it should be done
Oh, all your history's like fire from a busted gun
Now show some love and respect
Don't wanna get a life of regret

But baby you can see that the gazing eye won't lie
Don't give up your lover tonight

She found a lonely sound
She keeps on waiting for time out there
Oh love, can you love me babe
Love, is this loving babe
Is time turning around

He slips into the bedroom
And you know he misses alright
Old names, we'll make sweet
Will sustain us through the night
Inside my bedroom baby
Touch me, oh tonight
Promises, we'll make some
Will reveal our sense of right

You should be in my space
You should be in my life
You should be in my space
You should be in my life
You could be in my space

[Sin]derella

Your pale skin reminds me
Of your twisted nature
Illuminating the night
-The stars envy your-
Shimmering corpse

Hear the echoes calling
Scraping on your skin
You gifted lady
Inheritance of sin
-Sinderella-

Your eyes still witness
This Nigredo-therapy
Crucified your body
-The sea of roses flows-
Final ignition

The wind blows faster
Leaves covering your hair
Forever Sleeping Beauty
Last traces in thin air
-Sinderella-





Die Koma-Gärten

Sanft sie wachsen
Still sie verblühen
Die Knospen der Sehnsucht
Totlebendiges Grün

Am Anfang der Stille
Hinter unserem Leid
Wuchern die Koma-Gärten
Wächter der Zeit

Versetzt mich sanft in tiefe Narkose
Leitet mein Verwelken ein
Stoppt meine Psycho-Adopthose
Beerdigt jetzt das Sein

So führt mich hin zur Wendeltreppe
In dieses fromme, ferne Land
Während ich hier verdorre
Erheb ich mich dort aus dem Sand

So schwebe ich nun in dieser Leere
Auf dem 4.Vektor, mein Geleit
Ich hab sie gefunden – die Koma-Gärten –

Borknagar - Relate (Dialogue)

A flat planet in the centre of the universe.
Who punctured us?
Who thrust the needle into our flesh?
Geocentrism came crawling back - licking the needle marks -
"Copernicus was never right", and our world turned as
introvert as our minds.

Kepler, Copernicus & Galilei suffocating in the vacuum of
the microcosms.
The inside can wait as long as we're preoccupied with
shining the facade.

We brought this upon ourselves - the connection breach.
We cut the rope, we shut the power down.
The line does not reach out any more.
Diagonal traded for horizontal - there is no up and down.
Gathered, trapped, closed into a linear thought.

Kepler, Copernicus & Galilei suffocating in the vacuum of
the microcosms.
The inside can wait as long as we're preoccupied with
shining the facade.

Somehow we lost the ancient connection.
All perspective eaten by newborn abilities.
Entangled no more? - Simplicity the order of absent
relations.
Complexity a distant relative or a strange rumour.

Reflective surfaces mirroring skin, cores diminish slowly
and silently.
Nourishment torn away, light dimmed to the unrecognizable.
Show us your universe and we'll give you our world - we do
not recognize it anyway!
