Circular
04:28
|

sailing on the wind that carries me up high, sunrays passing by, through the clouds I dive
while my eyes are scanning the ground, listening to the sound of the breeze
I am at peace but nonetheless the search must go on
spiraling in circles, searching nourishment
hiding from my demons, will the cycle end?
target locked, I get ready to go
dash and shoot down like an arrow
digging claws in my prey and
only then I realize too late
it wasn’t you I was trying to hurt
sorry I got carried away
how should I fix this now?
I still want you to just feel safe
spiraling in circles, searching nourishment
hiding from my demons, will the cycle end?

Trip
03:31
|
|||
Bright headlights pierce my eyes and treetops are passing by
A low hum under the sky as we dive into the night
Maps of the future navigate rocky roads, we invade
Every moat of the past, of the castle
I didn’t see myself here, a one-way ticket in hand
I don’t know where I’m going, the dark unknown lies ahead
I clasp my suitcase tighter, I tried to pack everything
I might need for survival, I brace the fighter within
Travelling again and again
Don’t see the way, no start nor end
We’re all afraid of every day
But there’s no choice, we’re on this way

September
04:16
|

The mornings have cooled down, the light is low
The evenings shortening, it’s time to go
The wilting, wrinkling of all the new
Is part of the cycle, is part of me and you
(A day in september, marked in my calendar)
So much change came all at once
I need to find my feet, all these colours over me
I’m shedding my old skin
It’s been beautiful enough, has protected my insides,
But now I’m bare and I’m not scared of you in wintertime
The world is painted gold, so beautiful
My spirits lifted up with thoughts of you
There’s sadness lingering, chin up, my friend
You know it’s not goodbye, we’ll meet again
I’m being my true self, flowers in bloom
I will not get pushed back by doubt and gloom
The wilting, wrinkling of me and you
Has helped me shed and grow, evolve into

Enclosed
03:49
|

I am enclosed, I am alone, I don’t see nobody around
I am enclosed, I am alone, here on my own
Enclosed, no way out
(Enclosed, no way out, I wonder if I can get away)
I’m not bred in captivity but
Getting used to the daily grind
Travelling the world in my dreams
It’s just my body that’s stuck inside
The world might catch up to me
Even if I run and hide
Think about it and you will see
In the end, who’s the parasite?
I stay enclosed, I stay alone, because it makes me feel safe
When I’m enclosed, when I’m home. I don’t wanna get away
(I wonder if I can get away)
The world may not set us free
Even if we run and hide
Think about it and you will see
We are the parasite

As I look back
04:03
|

All this time just flew by
Yesterday was years ago, and I have left it all behind, left you behind
It was only a short while where things had a future
But for most of the time I was in denial about what to expect
To you it was all easy, never tried to please me
It was always all about you you you
If I had seen more clearly without rosy glasses
Would I have had the power to save myself (all too late)
But I know that as I look back
I can smile and laugh at the past
Came out stronger than ever, wiser and better
You don’t have any power over me (no, no, no, no, no)
I am roaming free
And right now as I look back
I’m empowered by my own past
By my learnings and lessons
Knowledge turned into weapons
I am not afraid any more
(I will use them against you, be prepared
Calculated words can be a razor-sharp sword)
It was only a short while where things had a future
But for most of the time I was in denial about what to expect
To you it was all easy, never tried to please me
It was always all about you you you
Rest assured, these times are over
I am now well beyond our mess
Continue at your own discretion
But I, I am better then this
I know that as I look back
I can smile and laugh at the past
Came out stronger than ever, wiser and better
You don’t have any power over me (no, no, no, no, no)
I am roaming free
And right now as I look back
I’m empowered by my own past
By my learnings and lessons
Knowledge turned into weapons
I am not afraid any more

Displaced

Hello / you just rung me out of bed
How’s life / haven’t had my coffee yet
Where to / brain is not yet booted up
Giddy up, I’m getting up, I gotta figure out this time
Lost my place in this constellation
The gravity is pulling, I’m out of control
My face is empty of emotions
I wonder if the stars will align again
A strange place I’ve ended up in
I don’t know where I’m coming from
A dilemma of emotions
Pretty hard to recover from
[So don’t give up] I’m still here and I am still trying
[Giddy up] No, friend, I won’t stop fighting
[I’m getting up] I just gotta get back in my groove
I’ve displaced my heart and soul
Hey there / I’ve been up most of the night
What’s up / Yes, I’m gonna be alright
Do you need some help along the way?
Oh yes I do, but not from you, I don’t need you to be okay
Found my place in this constellation
The gravity is pulling, I’m back in control
My face is full of emotions
I’m sure that the stars will align again

Ten Year Plan
05:07
|
|||
Until recently, I had everything set up
I exactly knew where we were heading
But now I’ve lost my way and look at shards of opportunities
Broken new and old opportunities, the world is new and changed
And I just wish my 10-year plan would work, would work, would work, it won’t
A thousand moments flying by, and I don’t know why but I have to cry
The drain is unclogged, brain no longer fog and my thoughts are logged in for this soliloquy
Recorded for posterity and as you might see I’m uprooted deeply
But I can replant because I don’t resent a new opportunity
Dream diary, empty pages have been filled for years, and now, and now, and now
Dream diary, there I see shelved, dusty buried dreams
Until recently, I had everything set up
I exactly knew where we were heading
But who knows what tomorrow has in store
How to calculate, how to plan ahead for this
An unstable world, everything’s a challenge
Ride the wave and hope it doesn’t knock you down
Course correct, I have everything set up
I exactly know where we are heading
Once more I’ve found my way and look at shiny opportunities

Horizon
04:02

I don’t know what it is with you, it makes no sense
Whenev’r I get to talk to you I don’t want it to end
Don’t know you that well, but I’m under your spell now, oo
When I asked to keep in touch I didn’t expect much but you said, I’d love to
I’m thinking of you way more than I should
Although you’re only two-dimensional
And that is unlikely to change
Sometimes I get a glimpse or two of you
And I can’t seem to get enough
I guess your smile is like a drug
Silver line on my horizon, barely even there
Still your every move can cause a tidal wave for me
Silver line on my horizon, barely even there
Silver line on my horizon, barely even there
Silver line on my horizon, your slightest move
Pulls my needle to you
I don’t know if you’re suggesting something, am I reading way too much
Into all of your little jokes and smiles, subtle compliments and such
Maybe it’s just the attention that you’re showering me with
But I’ll indulge, thank you I’ll take it, sucking up every second
Even if you’re just being nice, even if all we are is friends,
I appreciate you a lot and I don’t want our time to end
I’m a little bit afraid of not needing your advice
Will you then just say goodbye, just goodbye?
Silver line on my horizon, barely even there
Still your every move can cause a tidal wave for me
Silver line on my horizon, your slightest move
Pulls my needle to you
