wild as the blowing wind
patient like the night
seeing you, seeing me
the first hidden light

the sprinkle water on you
will soon be vaporized
on a lava-like body
and i'm still mesmerized

from all direct words
till the warmth of hands
touch above your ears
in our timeless sands

like candles in an open window
fighting against the storm
stay awake and give
light in any form

my thoughts you speak
as a voice from outer space
the horse in your heart of fire
sure runs, but is ready to embrace

times of being, like in dreams
human at its peak
rough times of melting
strong and weak

from your old face changing
in enthusiastic times
till the fear of change
by our darker rhymes

makes me want to
crack you open like a peanut
then makes you able to
put me on the surgeon table, and cut

the poor balance of trust
appreciated to have found
the good, has overwhelmed
even though not bound

this is my freedom:
no need to feel paralized
my freedom is yours
and i'm still mesmerized

still angry to see
how these mofos
damaged me
apparently
i never noticed
the sandpaper
my sacrifice

there you said it
i like you because..
you’re sensitive
me? sensitive? an ever mask
but maybe
with you
maybe
i can finally put that **** off
and i like you because..
you really want to
help me too
face the darkness
end a career i don’t like
the so called doctor
never voted for a strike
even though i never earned a penny
like these argentinian doctors
they help them in hospitals, many
in poor districts with poor people
because they have nothing
some not even a foot to stand
and the doctors have everything
they think
as if they differ mentally
they think there’s a difference
between such rich and poor
see nothing else
so they always ask for more
but nowadays
for me
it are just temporary words
a weak or strong one doesn't exist
because in weak times
we all need a superman
inclusive the man in red suit
even Peter Pan
one that comes with high speed
still questioning yourself
how superman has got so strong
what does superman actually need?

and now i say it
that from the day i met you
i felt it was different
than all these times before
because i simply can't compare
and on my lucky day, you just opened the door
the door of my cage so severe
this beast in me finally free
it felt so incredibly weird
new things to see
unusual, too
that someone thinks
and thinks pretty much like you
all you told me, so sincere
still questioning myself
where has this been before?
a burning soul like yours
maybe because i always fell for the poor
while you were being superman
all these years, wandering
sauntering through a poor land
you slammed
into exotic beaches
that started with leeches and ended with peaches,
beautiful flowers and grass, green beeches
planted on the edge of the deepest oceans in my heart

from out of this sickbed
i put my heart on the floor
take it break it smash it fake it
because i don't need it no more

it's heavy, locked and loaded
and doesn't belong to me
i'm tired of myself these days
waiting for angels to be free

they would like to walk with you
feeling sorry for the other side
i can still hear them fighting
playing seek and hide

and so i just want to
surrender myself
to the deep sea
in me

stardust in a hot cup
moves like wind in water
i drink it like a stupid child
and dream that i die this way

de maan streelt mijn naakte huid
teder en zacht
net of iemand op mij wacht
daar in het hoekje van het natte dakraam
ver weg
schijnt toch zo voldaan

en al is haar blanke gloed
slechts een reflectie van
een verdoofd licht
zo veel die reflectie mij kan schenken
want ook de maan heeft meer dan één gezicht

's nachts toont ze soms bescheiden een lach
wachtend op de overname van de zon
wachtend op een nieuwe dag

left home and went on a journey of discovery
because of a voice inside told me
we are out of the dark now, beyond recovery

your touch like falling leaves, falls deep into my skin
accumulating and becoming
a mountain of magic from within

the thousand leaves, together they stand strong
my nerves feel like flying out of my body
we start singing our own song

tengo miedo de escribir
a veces yo tambien
tengo miedo
de un papel vacío
de esta manera todo parece claro
no sé expresarme
este sentimiento de un náufrago
tengo miedo de estar perdido
demasiado

hay estas dudas
tantas dudas como horas
tengo miedo de hacer lo errado?
pero tengo que
eligir, eligir entre dos
los ángeles y demonios
luchan, de formas crueles
los demonios y ángeles
entonces no quieren.. mi paz?

en un papel vacío
de repente todo parece claro
no sé expresarme
y me doy cuenta de que es el tiempo
del deseo de certeza
porque no puede vivir en miedo
escuchando a las peleas interminables
debido al blanco y *****
no más puedo vivir

don't we dare anymore
to have a simple face to face
is it really that hard for you
to open up in an empty place

because i'm located there
can be your empty place
to everyone, always fair
just rather not followed by

sheeps

a kind of addiction, a slow kind of dying
but a suicide wrapped in love and hope
powerful enough to blind your eyes
is certain not easy to ****

so hands high for the not coming reward
somewhere knowing it all, deep
we drew an unreachable line again
the inner voice simply won't let us see

ourselves, when it was all we really needed

on a honest night the darkness became oh so clear
we, decided to beat our illusional selves
now only stare at the broken mirror on the floor

realize the almighty changed into an insect
and the night into the day
this morning a new sunrise is born

how will we be able to speak
when the words won't come out
an explanation of these feelings
simply wants a few right words to shout
someone being tortured
always tells the truth

still the mouth seems closed
as it remains, a feeling of choking
the soul starts wandering again
between a billion trees, evoking
mother earth and darkness
but should they be saviours?

always that certain word
alone
he carries
and he carries it with him
like a parrot on his shoulder
into the deepest valleys
alone
always looking forward
so he can pay attention
carefully and alone
what is the right path to take
as he carries it and carries on
alone
but didn't notice all footsteps
all the footsteps behind him
countless kilometers
he already walked
alone
the fellow just didn't know
because the faster, so fast
he wanted to carry on
less beauty touched his eye
one eye, alone
because there's distance
even between our dear eyes
so he forgot to look
left and right, and left
he left the crossroad of choices
tired and alone
because of choosing paths
all his life wondering
alone
but after he did a step aside
from all the doubts
thoughts in paths
oh so suddenly
life started to love him
touched him unexpected
and he liked it
even adored her, too
alone
now alone with his own life
that came to him in a day
like a shooting star
alone with life
he really got it together
as one
beautiful

me and the sea
my best friend and enemy
two times a day, we sing in ebb and flow
pulling everyone
down below

it’s funny
how people lie
to themselves
and keep lying
while blaming

something
someone

(what)else

some people are like wounded animals
completely damaged
may God know why

and you shouldn't let them suffer
these wounded animals
no.. they should die

the skin of my body
is frozen
my sky is blue
the wound in my body
is bleeding
where are you?

ya estás brillando,
casi como un sol
pero todavía más fuerte,
en esta completa oscuridad

Orion se encuentra cerca de ti
esta noche, unas estrellas
la acompañan,
debajo de ti

te ponen en el último peldaño
en la parte superior
de la escalera,
tu escalera, que quiero subir

pero solo puedo aspirar y espirar
lo que sería visible?
mi cálido aliento,
en este aire frío, de un invierno eterno

sometimes i wish i could be a man
that man wearing his dark, long coat
like a detective, his lacquered shoes
ticking on the frozen pavements

the full moon causes a shadow
that follows him, until the sun rises
he searched for something, examined
the entire night, still he couldn't find

..

he couldn't find it in the city and also
he couldn't find it outside in the fields
maybe the other night he should change
place, on the inside of his black coat

the gun he was wearing, inside his body
he would throw it away if only
a woman came on his path and then
proved his security, safety of existence

that it exists.. so many guns, we use
to keep hold on our insecurities
to stay cool but cold, to our fellow creatures
that it exists.. the hidden power, of love

serious
he said

why so serious
they asked

meanwhile mysterious
i know you like it, humans

my eyes flirt with every eye
without knowing

without realizing
i'm searching for trustable eyes

and why so serious
if that's the only way to reach a soul

te quiero porque eres como el viento fuerte
nunca aburrido, un poco loco y convincente
te quiero porque eres como el sentido de la vida
sorpresas todos los días, la oscuridad para sobrevivir
te quiero porque dentro de tu cuerpo está una luz rojiza
que me llena con energia, no sin pasiones ocultas
te quiero mucho
porque eres tú

her heart is like a candlelight
dancing in the wind
he pushes his lips together
and she falls down, as he sinned

a wooden lath
before my nose
i take it
and the world is gone

another lath
above me
i take it
and start climbing

and climbing
to somewhere
on my way through
a sky full of stars

up there, love
i see your hand
but it's not just a hand
a hand full of hope

aquí la lluvia de la noche viene, otra vez
los bebes golpeando contra la ventana
caen en una piscina de agua negra

ni la luna aparece, ni un poco de luz
pero los bebes reflejan en la oscuridad
los días de otoño han llegado

el frío me abraza con poder
y el viento besa mi cara

walk the walk
my earplugs in
waiting
in my nowhere land

like a bullet
shocked by the sound
i hear something
then turn myself around

green eyes
the two stare at me
open and wide
glittering in the sun

dark hair
one for one
the wind blows, wild
to me complete slow motion

waiting
for my mind to come
i see the open and close
what did he ask again?

i can't think
i don't know what to say
where am I when needed?
i just walked away..

a function for me
a function for you
a function for them
and a function for us two

is there still love?
is there still comprehension?
is there still romance
or am i from another dimension?

we were walking
in a dark and empty city

we were looking
helpless and for pity

we were seeing
places for us two

even though i'm not so sure
if you could see them too

i looked into a window
and guess what i saw

it was not your name
on the television screen

but it was mine, my lostness
what caused me a heart attack

the words did not came out
all of a sudden everything went black

because of the title 'missed persons'
and you were not beside me

you were not beside me anymore
in panic i started to look around

and guess what my eye found

there, on the end of the street
i saw someone running

a black shape

and i'm sure it was you
searching for the horizon

keep me
on a distance..
to walk away
when we run deeper
into the forest
and get lost
keep me
on a distance..
to feel more safe?

the shower is my nation
the shower is not my bath
the shower is my salvation
when I have lost my path

the shower is warm
the shower is wet
the shower, like a storm
sometimes makes me sweat

the shower is my nation
he does not dare to frown
he stops all of my frustration
and knows to calm me down

he left me speechless
that day
a way
none has ever left me

beautiful arms, where've you been?
i knew we were still together
you, me and nobody else
you, me forever

how do you let your arms be so beautiful
they seem so blue, though they're grey
some black plants grow on the bottom
don't wash away

your cold skin looks wide and clear to me
some salt water drops down upon your chest
to mix them, with the flow

let me drown into your arms, drown
to feel an ocean of sorrow

why would somebody like to wander the Arctic
some probably have given up trying to connect
but sometimes, everything seems to be wrong

how one waits, means another’s freedom
freedom in silences? freedom in sentences
but sometimes, meaningful words only hurt

they told me, there’ll always be somebody
to pull you away from the dangerous glacier
but sometimes, there’s curiosity above this pain

they’ve teached me though, they’ll be there
to keep you away from the lonely polar bear
but sometimes, someone doesn't have the fear

to come closer..

just wanted to put my ear on polar bear’s chest
closer to listen to the rhythm of his heartbeat
closer so i could give, show him my best

and that’s how we enter the mouth of the beast
how it chews on me, again and again

pieces of loneliness
grow slowly together
stand together as one

they eat us alive
don’t give up
never give in

but it’s like cancer
and comes back again

somewhere else
we all feel it grow
but it’s always there

the ****** inside

we never show
don’t let anybody know
your cancer is weakness

but it’s a disease too

what if we want to be healed
by somebody
somebody who feels the same like you

a lot will be there
they will be there for you

but what if we want to be healed forever
a real remedy
to keep the pain away

there’s a word with four letters
now it only has to stay

swimming through my head
searching for the words you said
sometimes upwards, you try to swim
but i’ll always push back
when you wanna dim

why you’re so far away
all these things we’ve to pay
why can’t we be together in the rain
or just somewhere else, somewhere
on a hell-bound train?

it seems that’s the place to be
at least for us, not totally free
why do we deserve this
i’m asking myself all the time,
but i know today it’s fine

you’re living in my head
and also tomorrow won´t be bad
as you keep swimming around
i´ll prove it, once i’m a fish too
i´ll prove, you’ll be found

lost in a moment
cars passing by
pitch black windows
the people cry

time goes on
but we’ve got to be strong
till whenever ends
whenever takes long

people call me weird
people call me great
if you’re born with a face
you don’t get to know me

the inside
for you such a haze

here i sit exhausted
white black and blue
tired of being tired
watching the sunset
endless without you

the colors of the sky
which begin in light
fade out in darkness
close to the final line
it's the life you fight

life isn't eternal
but neither death
what does this place mean
if you don't feel alive?

now take me from myself
because baby, you
are the only resistance
to free what's not there

now take me from myself
and just take me soon
because you're the only one

the only one
who sees straight through

it's ok to make me feel sad
me and here, the living dead

because i know
one day even i'll feel alive

because i know
one day our time will come

because if we'll survive
one day we'll know everything

so don't you worry about me
and i'll let you totally free

because i know
you deserve more than this

because i know
you need what i give

because we both know
one day we'll really know

it's ok to express the anger on me
i may also be the reason for it

but promise me us
because you know i'll admit

je n’ai pensé jamais
que a la fois toi et moi
avons choisi cette voie

je n’ai pensé jamais
que a la fois toi et moi
avons choisi le chemin serieux

je ne peux pas croire mais,
aussi je ne peux croire que tu existes

parce que je vis dans un rêve
tous les jours dans mon propre monde

alors, qu’importe?

la vie est le risque
et le risque est la vie

i want your head in my arms
so you’ll never leave me
i want you by my side
so you’d believe me

i want you to kiss my face
in the name of love
i want you to open yourself
and keep me there save

show me you’re not just a dream
squeeze my cheeks and tell me
you’re everything i’ve ever seen

i’m nothing here without you
and i want to know every little thing
you’re living in my heart now
so i hope you’d like to stay darling

mesmo se você nao fala
desculpa, mas você me faz feliz

e sim, eu sei
estamos sempre tão longe
como a distância da galáxia
talvez longe demais

mas você me dá esse sentimento
cada vez que uma e outra vez

talvez seja impossível
um outro sonho perdido
talvez seja possível
se nos ambos são fortes

faz o que quiser
viva a sua vida
como será viver
de qualquer maneira
te amo

all people lie
they tell me i can fly
over rainbows, oh so high
high in the sky

high like a drug
the junk of heaven
i belong to you
in my dreams

dreams about a lonely bee
searching for the flower
shining in the sunlight
burning through the power

dreams about a monster
it tries to pull us under
into the strong water
closer to the thunder

we drown in the mainstream
but this would slip away like cream
if for once, just one day
together be.. you and me

you rather play the game alone
left me behind to act like a stone
so i’ll tell you, i can’t care less
my head has always been a mess

now all the feelings are lost
because of wondering who i may trust
i wish i could feel, some love or pain
but it’s like i’m hoping in vain

(Lyrics, written for the Irian band Red Tape Reflection)

*black is the smoke
we've blown into the air
it fades out
like the persons
around me

this is the last time of
torture and pain
strong we will stand
in life and in dreams

come closer
to feel
this heart isn’t so real
we’re born to be alone

acceptance

this is the last time of
torture and pain
strong we will stand
in life and in dreams

bleed to be born
be born to bleed

it stops
where people screamed
right into the faces

right into the faces
of stronger men

one day you’ll lick all these tears away
wash them off my face and taste the salt water
you’ll get to know the pain of my heart, bled dry

how can i eat? how can i think?
how can i listen? how can’t i sink?

how can i see? or even share a bed
with nothing but you in my head?

how can i control? how can i sleep?
without you here.. how can’t i weep?

i don’t want you to fly away
addicted to your flapping wings
which hurt me
deep

but i will, i can
wait to catch you
and finally
keep

i see stars
and far away
one’s shining bright
you

blinded means hell
but nobody can tell
how i feel when
you

can’t reach
can’t touch
just a little bit
too far to know

but i believe, i do
this is fully alive
recorded and true

the dream about you

i don’t know where i’m coming from
and I don’t know where i stand
i’m not the one to play games with
even though people think i am

i could be the one who keeps the controller
and lead us to, open or closed, an end
wild and dark and cold as i might be
still not the right one, still not free

wild and dark and cold like the wind at sea
even when the sun shines, i’m still not free
there’s something bothering me on the inside
and i don’t know if it’s normal, i don’t know right

i just feel a little different from the bottom
and i’m wondering, i’m wondering all the time
i wish i could say my brain is one illusion
i wish i could say what i feel isn't real

but then i would lie, like all those liars
those who nothing but the nothing, feel

now and then **** makes me worried
but **** also tells me to calm down
i figured out everyone’s just a zombie
for each other, a zombie or a clown

didn't know each other
very well

source of love
happy through hell

what the ****
was your problem
our problem

was it me
against your mind

was it the fakeness
you couldn't hide

discovered today
the aching pain

to think
you used your brain

but i, not too smart
i used my stupid heart

to believe in my dreams
come alive and please

but i forgot, not everyone
is ready to believe
in dreams

the stars i’m watching in our sky
now i see them very bright
the moon who follows, and follows
now she shares her most sensual light
the sun shines, on Earth’s coldest places
now she gives me warmth
like never before

betrayed by life
the cut of a knive
stuck in the heart
and it falls apart

no hunger, no food
no stars, no night
fade away darkness
and become the light

it’s impossible
what’s possible
when you can’t see
a ******* thing

through glasses of loneliness
there’s only the nothing
can’t know what’s real
without anything to feel
