Return to Pain
01:43
|
|||
|
Overprotected, super civilised
Crushed by fear, controlled emotions
Modulation has turned us into lambs
Humanity full-on domesticated
Return to Pain

Psycho Man
02:14
|
|||
|
You hear him coughing from a distance
He seems to be from another world
Nothing here again
In the garbage can
Watch your back here comes the psycho man
He seems to be having a good time
He´s playing an insidious game with me
Nothing here again
In the garbage can
Watch your back here comes the psycho man
Psycho Man
Is this a sacred doll below the lid
Is that a sign from psycho man
Cos every time I get past the bin
It's gonna be open again

Fun
03:27
|

Sometimes you have to climb to get back to the ground
Sometimes you have to lose to gain what you have found
Give me excitement, oh I need it all so bad
My world is turning upside down
Rules are suspended, risk appetite prevails
My back is hurting but I´m glad
As long as it´s a lot of fun
As long as I can still stand up and fall down again
A lot of fun
Sometimes sadness overplays your laughing face
It seems your universe has fallen in disgrace
Sometimes you cannot see the forest for the trees
Appreciate what you´ve achieved
Take off completely and try to close your eyes
Dive into deep uncertainty

Shelter
03:11
|
|||
|
Minus degrees, Cries of desperation
Emergency, No medication
It´s so unreal
Bone chilling cold
The city´s infected
Homeless lost and neglected
Somewhere in darkness there is a warming light
Constantly freezing
Carefully breathing
They´re only looking for a shelter tonight
Tonight
Loss of consciousness, Persisting confusion
Increasing pain, Recurring delusion

Gift

Der Welt ein Stück entrückt, sonst geht nichts mehr
Schwindende Euphorie, dann geht nichts mehr
Siehst Du nicht: Die Schatten werden länger
Merkst Du nicht: Die Angst treibt mich in die Enge
Und ich brauch Gift
Wo bleibt mein Gift
Ich brauch mein Gift
Gib mir mein Gift
Sonst geht nichts mehr
Betäubung maximal, sonst geht nichts mehr
Panik breitet sich aus, dann geht nichts mehr
Hörst Du nicht: Wände beginnen zu beben
Hörst Du mich: Ich bin kurz vorm Verrecken
Und brauch mein Gift
Wo bleibt mein Gift
Ich brauch mein Gift
Gib mir mein Gift,
Sonst geht nichts mehr

Too much Tequila
02:35
|
|||
|
A salty lick, a squeeze of lime
Lost in the swirl of time
In a bar on a dusty road
Far away from home
Stranded all alone
Everything´s turning
Throat is burning
Senorita
Too much tequila
Am I dreaming or awake
Is it all a big mistake
Put the empty glass away
And get out of my sight
Before I lose my mind
Day is dawning
Cheerless morning
Senorita
Too much tequila

Still Missing
04:10
|
|||
|
Disappeared without a trace
A search went on for countless days
All hints are lost or buried deep down below
Waiting becomes an agony with deep fear and uncertainty
The hunt has been suspended years ago
Was there a witness in need, a dead end or a sanctuary
When all was done, deep grief begun
Still missing, i´s been so long
Eyes wide awake I face my fate
Still missing, all hope is gone
No track, no sign of life
Any news yet to arrive
Pain, grief and desperation won´t go away
Panic turned to resignation, deep anger and frustration
A spark of hope remains however until today
A Farewell without end, cries echo in the moonlight
Search posters have all faded
Hanging down in shreds
Important clues led to nothing
Swallowed up and never seen again

Exceptional
02:33
|
|||
|
Programmed emotions, so secure
No obligations, my spirit is so pure
No matter who you are
I am your perfect counterpart
Enjoyable hours without regret
So pleasant moments you´ll never forget
Learn to appreciate me
because I´m so exceptional
My data tell me what to do
All your desires will soon come true
Learn to appreciate me
because I´m so exceptional

Waiting
02:52
|
|||
|
Full moonlight and all stars are shining bright
One instance and I´m right by your side
A few hours and you´ll be gone
We embrace endlessly
Seperated from your sight
Seems like an eternity
And I´m waiting for your return
Forever our flame will burn
You´re always so far away
Tomorrow´s just another day
Our farewell was a stab in my heart
All happiness slowly seemed to fall apart
Dullness catches up with me
Distract as best I can
Still quietly counting seconds
Til I´m in your arms again
And I´m waiting for your return
Forever our flame will burn
You´re always so far away
Tomorrow´s just another day

Alibi
02:09
|
|||
|
There was a time when I was badly hurt
Now it´s too late to say I´m sorry
I came to see you, have silenced you forever
Your body´s buried deep underground
Still I am looking for a solution – Alibi
To cover up what I have done – Alibi
To find a way without repenting – Alibi
Because I`m not the guilty one
A brief interrogation, not a word came over my lips
Humiliation is deep inside
Suspicious moments, too many open questions
My inner demons have been silent

Rollercoaster
02:58
|
|||
|
Exciting moments
Looking for the latest thrill
Up and down
Like a rollercoaster
A special challenge
Fulfill your boldest dreams
Reactivate
what´s left inside
Hey, wanna spend some time with me?
Hey, I´m the danger in your head, I give you energy
Hey, I´m the perfect medicine
Watch out cos I can speed up your adrenaline
Don´t be so lazy
wake up from your lethargy
Take a risk
You won´t regret it
You have the strength
To create the impossible
Time´s running out
This could be your last chance

Prost

Für uns geht heute die Sonne auf, endlich ist es soweit
So viele Leute lange nicht gesehen, gefühlte Ewigkeit
Alle versammelt, jetzt geht es los
Lautstark ertönen wieder unsere Lieder
Ein Hoch auf die Gelegenheit, wir stossen an, wir sind bereit
Auf ein geniales Wiedersehen, so ein Moment soll nie vergehen
Ein Prost auf diesen Tag, auf ne schöne Zeit
Ein Prost auf diesen Tag, auf ne schöne Zeit
Gefeiert wird heut maximal, und Sorgen sind uns mal egal
Ein Prost auf diesen Tag, auf ne schöne Zeit, auf diesen Tag
Schließ deine Augen, was für ne Stimmung hier, kaum zu glauben
Schau weder nach vorne, noch zurück, in diesem Augenblick
Denn schon geht´s weiter, wir ziehen los
Lautstark ertönen wieder unsere Lieder
Ein Hoch auf die Gelegenheit, wir stossen an, wir sind bereit
Auf ein geniales Wiedersehen, so ein Moment soll nie vergehen
Ein Prost auf diesen Tag, auf ne schöne Zeit
Ein Prost auf diesen Tag, auf ne schöne Zeit
Gefeiert wird heut maximal, und Sorgen sind uns mal egal
Ein Prost auf diesen Tag, auf ne schöne Zeit
Und nochmal Prost, auf ne schöne Zeit, auf diesen Tag

Some Day
02:52
|

|
Needless agitation, so desolate
Common situations escalate
Sometimes it seems like we are losing all control
Well meant advices are ignored
Admonishments drive us insane
Maybe you'll understand some day
Some day, Some day, Some Day, Some Day
How many times did we act wrong
So many verbal threats undone
Is it all for your own good?
Why don´t you get it?
Our patience is running out
What is it all about?
How many needless arguments
because of all this ignorance, stubbornness, vanity
Struggle, exhaustion, controversy
Sometimes it seems like we are losing all control
Well meant advices are ignored
Admonishments drive us insane
Maybe you'll understand some day
How many times did we act wrong
So many verbal threats undone
Is it all for your own good?
Why don´t you get it?
Our patience is running out
What is it all about?
So many things we want to say
You'll understand some day

Happiness

Bad news in circulation
Sufficient times to cry
Sadness seems to rule the world
Days just seem to go by
Frustratedly you want to feel sorry forever
Get up from your grief instantly
Cos now it´s time to take control
So close your eyes and clean your soul
Indulge yourself cos now it´s time for happiness
Forget the pain, put on a smile
Dismiss your sorrows for a while
Let´s all rejoice cos now it´s time for happiness
People have lost their purpose
Withdraw discouragedly
One moment has so much to offer
Oh why can´t they see
With a laughing face
Life works more easily
Stop hiding away anxiously
