Fake Success
02:28
|

|
Celebrated fake success doesn’t impress me,
well nothing impresses me nowadays
because I’ve learned about those formulas
those business plans and those ways of
controlling the moments and setting the scenes
and creating a reality which never really existed
It doesn’t really matter now
who has the smartest view
The only thing that matters
is who has the loudest voice in the room
It doesn’t really matter now
who has the better plan
The only thing that matters
is who has the bigger platform to share the word
Celebrated self-made men haven’t made any effort
to make this world a better place
where are the role models? where are my heroes?
stop this world, dismiss the case
I don’t want to became that old man yelling at clouds
but I don’t want to live in a world where all things fall apart

Western Europe
02:06
|

|
I can meet my friends in the morning in fancy coffee shops,
I can buy my own drinks and when? Well, that’s my choice.
I can read the most progressive articles multiple times a day
I can see the eiffel towen on drugs but i can’t tell myself one thing:
This country is in Western Europe.
I can listen to my favorite albums on 180 gram vinyl
I can buy a couple of tickets for the champions league final
I can keep my sanity and i can stay sober
I can keep my sanity and i can stay sober
I can keep my sanity and i can stay sober
I can keep my sanity and i can stay sober
I can avoid the bullshit coming from the national tv channels
but i can’t tell myself one thing, i can’t tell myself, i can’t tell myself
This country is in Western Europe.

In The Post-Future
02:54
|

If these barbed wire fences warms your heart
and if you love when you’re told
to do things you don’t want to do
and if you love plans Falling through (then i’m sure)
you’re in the right place in the right time
the rightest person in the world
Now these things are out of reach
now these places are not secured
this development’s unsustainable
but in the post-future all this will be yours
If you love reading poems about nothing
from poets wearing gas masks
if you love to talk about the weather
and if you don’t believe in the end
you’re in the right place in the right time
the rightest person in the world
If these walls won’t open up
If these walls won’t open up

Poor Boy's Crown
03:51
|
|||
|
Every person i’ve ever known was a floating desert island,
I want to tell you something but I don’t want to break the silence
The silence of the empty room, the silence of the night
the silence I have growing in my decaying mind
Let me in the water, let me be carried by the waves
I been going in the wrong direction up until this day
Let me in the water, let me hear the ocean’s scream
’that poor boy’s crown is lost forever, it was washed away by me’
Every person I have known was approaching the shore,
but they have lost their way in those dark gathering storms,
The dense fog descending, the ever vengeful tide rising,
the thunder rumbles, lightning cracks and the night is always falling.

They were chosen by the people who doesn’t know a thing about them
but they’re hiding behind funny tweets and posing with smiling children,
humiliating their opponents in neverending debates
I don’t know what the world is coming to but I know this is not the way
but we will stand and won’t go away
I really don’t know where to begin and how to continue
we can write our songs about them but tell me what’s the use
when communities fall apart and people disconnect
but I will shout this chorus again and again til i am wrecked

God Created
02:06
|
|||
|
God the created the heavens, God created the earth
God created the oceans, God created the world
God created the darkness, God created the light
God created the trees, God created the skies
(God created the moment we’re all living in)
And Got created the first man who didn’t believed in him
and Got created other religions, Got created the sins
the longing and the overconsumption, the absence of any interests
the desire of wanting something or someone that we can’t have
the hatred toward others and even the hatred toward ourselves
the greed and putting your urges before the welfare of others
if hell is other people, who will wait for you up there?

Heaven Capitulates
03:36
|
|||
|
This war lasted so many years
I don’t remember the date
when i first heard the marching of boots
as each neighbor passed on their way
Well, I knew it from the beginning
that there won’t be a winning side,
no triumph through the city
if no one‘s left alive
Heaven capitulates,
heaven capitulates,
all is going blank and silent
when heaven capitulates.
I wasn’t made for these times
and these times weren’t made for me.
Imprisoned by their opinions
drained and bored, they have to speak:
’forget your best-kept ideals,
they don’t match the shelves!
bury them with your principles,
or dig a hole for yourself.’
What is more important?
The future or the past?
What we used to own
or what we possibly could have?
What is more important?
The future or the past?
The shape of the things to come
or what we left behind our backs?

Breaking The Fourth Wall
02:59
|
|||
|
This is the moment when i’m breaking the fourth wall
and now I stare into your face without blinking
now I stare into your face and I’m trying to stay calm
I know it ain’t easy to face this feeling
now sing with me:
I can be you and you can be me
I can be you and you can be me
I can be you and you can be me
I can be you and you can be all you want to be for a while
but then you can’t avoid facing the real you
you can be all you want to be for a while
I just have three chords and I hope to have the truth
and if the world don’t listen, don’t take it too hard
it’s just the way the world goes round
and it won’t shake if you stamp your feet
whatever you do, it won’t stop
for your sake
I’m captured in this room and these are the objects I see all the time
I’ve hanged a picture on the wall with the most important people in my life
These are the books that made me think about what would I would do
If I were a better version of a better person or if i were you
This is the movie where nothing ever happens
this is the role what I always wanted to refuse
This is the movie where nothing ever happens
this is the role what I wanted wanted to refuse
but the cameras now starts to roll and all the lights are on
and I’m standing here and all I can do is nothing
scene 1, take 1, action.

Aristotle On Ice
02:45
|
|||
|
Let me explain you something
cos I’ve read a book the other day
and now I feel I’m smart enough
to have something to say
about the nature of the things that surrounds us,
the thing that shapes the future,
the trends that give you the feeling
this is the best of all possible worlds,
well everything goes according the plan
but the plan goes horribly wrong,
and who’s in charge to stop this mess?
Who’s in charge to stop? I won’t be able ’cos
I have to meet other people,
I have to go to the beach,
I have to do the laundry,
so if this world collapse, that’s ok with me

All Men Are Born Evil
03:34
|
|||
|
’Move outside the bubble’ they said
and they were exactly right
even if the rigid outside world
scared me from the start
I have done things I’m not proud of
I have seen things I didn’t believe
I have met other people
some of them wasn’t for my relief
Have I told you something new?
There is nothing new under the sun
but there are concepts in my head
but I’ll bury them under the ground
I still want to show my love
to all the other people
I don’t want to believe that
all men are born evil
but my patience is running out
my patience is not endless
my spirit is weak but
the order of the world is so relentless

TAKING IN THE VIEW AND TAKING
ALL THE PILLS YOU WASTED YOUR SAVINGS ON
MESSING UP YOUR MIND WITH FEELINGS,
YOUR SOUL STAYS, YOUR BODY’S LEAVING
WHEN THE STORM HIT THIS CITY,
ALL THE PEOPLE STAYED AT HOME
YOUR MOM WAS MAKING BREAKFAST
AND YOUR DAD WENT TO THE WAR
I WISH I WERE YOUR GUARDIAN ANGEL SO I COULD KEEP AWAY THE DANGER
BUT YOURS IS ON A BREAK
I WISH I HAD SOME SUPERPOWER TO HELP YOU IN YOUR DARKEST HOUR
AND TELL YOU IN THAT PERFECT MOMENT:
„THIS ROAD LEADS TO NOWHERE”.
SAVE YOUR TEARS AND HIDE YOUR SORROW,
DON’T THINK TOO MUCH, DON’T MEET YOUR HEROES
FIND A GIRL WHO DOESN’T LOVE YOU
AND FIND A WAY HOW TO GET THROUGH
WHEN LIFE THROWS YOU A CURVEBALL,
IT’S NORMAL TO FEEL FEAR
IRRATIONAL FEARS, IRRATIONAL FEARS.
