Solid Water
04:21
|
|

You slide across the solid water
And it's crackin you up to see her shine
You slide across the solid water
But she still feels perfectly fine
And when the lights are out
Can you see her, can you see her?
And when the door is closed
Can you hear her, hear her voice?
You should've known her better
I thought you knew her well
Well, she has pushed you over
Grew stronger as you fell
You slide across the solid water
And it's crackin you up to see her shine
You slide across the solid water
But she still feels perfectly fine
And when you touch yourself
Can you feel her, can you feel her?
And when you're missing out
Can you feel her? no you can't...
You should've known her better
I thought you knew her well
Well, she has pushed you over
Grew stronger as you fell

We Haven't Changed
04:26
|
|
||
Stone-cold is the heart you hold and you talk like a queer
Said you're blooming virtually, well, you don't look that good to me
Once more you're looking for escape from the fear
But it's stuck on your back: the anxiety attack
I know the secret you are keeping from me
We feel the same because we want to be free
So let us find out that we haven't changed
Let us find out that we haven't changed
Let us find out that we haven't changed
Let us find out that we haven't changed at all
Pitch-black running down your back is the feeling of shame
And you're locked from inside, blindly craving for some pride
Downhill and dressed to kill, you don't look like yourself
Leave the past to the past, take a look outside at last
[Bridge]
I know the secret you are keeping from me
We feel the same because we want to be free
[Chorus]
So let us find out that we haven't changed
Let us find out that we haven't changed
Let us find out that we haven't changed at all
I know the secret you are keeping from me
We feel the same because we want to be free
So let us find out that we haven't changed
Let us find out that we haven't changed
Let us find out that we haven't changed at all
So let us find out that we haven't changed
Let us find out that we haven't changed
Let us find out that we haven't changed at all
At all

High
02:51
|
|
||
And I swore to take it slow today
Waste my time in a way I love
But it seems that I lack confidence
'cause you know that I can't say no
But why do I always get so high
When the time keeps passing by and we're together
And now it's like I've known you from the start
The same role a different part to play
Oh I feel that it is right this way
There's nothing more to say right now
So today I'm not gonna play the blues
I get my feet into my shoes and run
And you know it's you I'm running for
So you better open up the door and shine
So high, chasing rainbows in the sky
To find the truth within the lie, the pot of gold
And now I'm not afraid to look ahead
But I will look at you instead and smile
Oh I feel that it is right this way
There's nothing more to say right now
There's nothing more to say right now
There's nothing more to say right now

Someday
03:53
|
|
||
Someday you might find
A way to speak your mind
And know exactly what to say
Your words will never wear away
Someday you might meet
A love you can't defeat
And suffer when it aches to say
That happiness could pave the way
And you know you can go on
To go outside and see the sun
Shining bright through cloudy skies
Open up your cheerless eyes
We are one of a kind
Have the same things in mind
We despise all the fools
Our philosophy rules
We might work it out, someday
[Verse 2]
Someday we might sow
The seeds and watch them grow
We'll always have our common ground
And noone can dissolve this bound
Someday we might be
Unattached and free
Unafraid to take a fall
Unafraid to lose it all
'cause we know we can go on
To go outside and see the sun
Shining bright through cloudy skies
Shining bright through your disguise
[Chorus]
We are one of a kind
Have the same things in mind
We despise all the fools
Our philosophy rules
We might work it out
We are one of a kind
Have the same things in mind
We despise all the fools
Our philosophy rules
We might work it out, someday

Young Love
03:13
|
|
||
I walk the world starry-eyed
Wherever my feet may take me
I've seen the darkness and the light
Couldn't say where I'd rather be
Now look at me trembling, paralysed
Everything set to stand-by
When you walk in I'm unorganised
And you know why
[Chorus]
And it seems that I have lost myself
And you make me feel like someone else
And if I'd be in league to fit your class
I'd thank you for the time
But I know that I'll forever stand in line
[Verse 2]
That perfect grace, and your style
Compares to no one and nothing
You make a day last for just a while
Oh, what a thrill to be near
Am I going crazy by your sight?
What keeps my pulse rush so fast?
Wish I could stand once in your light
Would you see me?
And it seems that I have lost myself
And you make me feel like someone else
And if I'd be in league to fit your class
I'd thank you for the time
And I know, yeah I know
And I know that I'll forever
And I know, yeah I know
And I know that I'll forever
And I know, yeah I know
And I know that I'll forever
And I know, yeah I know
And I know that I'll forever stand in...
And it seems that I have lost myself
And you make me feel like someone else
And if I'd be in league to fit your class
I'd thank you for the time
But I know that I'll forever stand in line

Bottleshaped Universe
03:06
|
|
||
Annie found a shadow at the primrose meadow
As the ship sailed into the sun
Her first concern is to read Jules Verne
Till a new day's finally begun
'cause maybe in a small boat sailing on a star road
She could ride
Coming round, high speed, waving with her small feet
Singing bye, bye, bye, bye
Are you looking for a distant destination?
A bottleshaped universe of funky chunks
Are you suffering from a sense of alienation?
Dancing in a world of red-haired punks
Dancing in a world of red-haired punks
Annie's got a mind of a different kind
She never liked to get taught
Savvy in the head but her grades look sad
She could never be an astronaut...
But maybe in a small boat sailing on a star road
She could ride
Coming round, high speed, waving with her small feet
Singing bye, bye, bye, bye
Are you looking for a distant destination?
A bottleshaped universe of funky chunks
Are you suffering from a sense of alienation?
Dancing in a world of red-haired punks
Dancing in a world of red-haired punks

The Wild Outdoors
03:53
|
|
||
Let me sleep
I don't want to face the world today
It hurts so bad to see
You challenge life walking a different way
And I hope that you'll cross my street someday
And I hope that you won't mind me if I stay
'cause I know I can't move on anymore
Forever tied up to the floor
Hiding from the wild outdoors
It's so cold
Suppose my fire has gone out by now
Emptiness unfolds
I'm tired of feeling tired somehow
And I hope that you'll cross my street someday
And I hope that you won't mind me if I stay
'cause I know I can't move on anymore
Forever tied up to the floor
Hiding from the wild outdoors
And I hope that you'll cross my street someday
And I hope that you won't mind me if I stay
'cause I know I can't move on anymore
Forever tied up to the floor
Hiding from the wild outdoors

Castaway
03:31
|
|
||
Now my fears are fast asleep
And I'm longing for a summer breeze
And all my hopes and all my dreams
Are colourful but just a tease
Now where are you?
I'm calling out to the sea
Hope that you're hearing me
I need your company
Circles drawn across the sands
Like signs that guide the way ashore
But here's the future in my hands
And I know that I can ask for more
Now where are you?
I'm calling out to the sea
Hope that you're hearing me
I need your company
And on the edge of insanity
I wish it would be clear to me
Why you're still not here

The Gift
02:50
|
|
||
You're on my mind nearly all of the time
Picture your face in the sun
When I'm on the verge of losing the urge
Your love leads me on
So sweetly you stir up my senses and I'm silently closing the door
In raptures at catching the gift of your smile
And I need nothing more
Oh, what a treat from my head to my feet
Every chance that I take
My lucky streak is so very unique
It will never break
So sweetly you stir up my senses and I'm silently closing the door
In raptures at catching the gift of your smile
And I need nothing more

Lighthouse
02:53
|
|
||
Lighthouse in the storm standing on a lonely shore
An old man calls, the tide is coming in
And as the waves are getting higher
Swallow water more and more
I start sinking to the ground, I cannot swim
Calling out for you to save me, S.O.S. what's going on?
Oh, I forgot that you have left me with a feeling that was wrong
How could I assume you'd always lend the hand that helps me out
If it's you that I still count on, I will drown without a doubt
80 feet below the surface, only darkness, all I see
Is a ray of hope the lighthouse shines for me
And as my breast starts aching and I'm running out of air
I recognise it's always been there
And in this very second, how I wish that it was you
Who has lit the fire for me, but you haven't got a clue
And again I find excuses for the things you said today
'cause with you I had utopia, but you have gone away

Safe And Sound
04:39
|
|
||
Running from the fire, burning down my soul
Climbing to get higher and keep me from feeling low
Building up a distance to all I've ever known
Taking it for granted that I have never grown
Don't need a lover for sexual healing
Don't need more novocaine to avoid this feeling
My sense of humour keeps on dragging me down
Can't stop moving till I get home
Safe and sound
Running to the seaside, wish that I could swim
Wherever it would take me, I could only win
Rivers icing over and mountains sinking in
Whenever I feel empty and don't know where I've been
Don't need a lover for sexual healing
Don't need more novocaine to avoid this feeling
My sense of humour keeps on dragging me down
Can't stop moving till I get home
Safe and sound

The Artist
03:18
|
|
||
When raindrops fall and crystallize
And trees stand proud and tall in size
And shiny splinters reflect the sun
Chasing shadows that are on the run
Blue was my heart, but colours change
As my body starts to rearrange
You draw the outlines that make up me
You are the artist that paints the scene
You capture beauty on the screen
Sparkling stars right over me
Giving life to a fantasy
Majestic oceans in which I immerse
Your world is bigger than a universe
Blue was my heart, but colours change
As my body starts to rearrange
You draw the outlines that make up me
You are the artist that paints the scene
You capture beauty on the screen
You capture beauty on the screen
You capture beauty on the screen
You capture beauty on the screen

Goodbye
06:47
|
|

So how could I describe my state?
So cold at heart yet so afraid
How suddenly the spring decayed...
A single word could bring a twist of fate
How could I tell somebody?
I won't tell nobody, about you
No, I won't tell nobody
I won't tell nobody about you
Every now and then I tried
To achieve what you denied
I thought I knew where I belong
But again you proved me wrong
Every now and then I tried
To achieve what you denied
I thought I knew where I belong
The sky reveals a blood-red moon
And time is getting short too soon
This love has reached the afternoon
And flowers dried that used to grow and bloom
So how could I tell somebody?
I won't tell nobody, about you
No I won't tell nobody
I won't tell nobody about you
Every now and then I tried
To achieve what you denied
I thought I knew where I belong
But again you proved me wrong
Every now and then I tried
To achieve what you denied
A step into a bad mistake
The foolish pride you can't forsake
How could I tell somebody?
I won't tell nobody, about you
No, I won't tell nobody
I won't tell nobody about you
How could I tell somebody?
I won't tell nobody, about you
No I won't tell nobody
I won't tell nobody about you
