Little Boat

Like a little boat
I feel adrift on the waves
Of the raging sea
Again and again
I capsize
The next wave flips me back over
I go up and down
On the waves
Over and over again
I fill with water
Lightning strikes
The waves are trying
To tear me apart
In the weather
I have lost my way
To the port of hope

Into the Storm

Light as a feather
I am afloat on my way
The breeze tosses me around
I am at its mercy
Now it is drawing me
Into a hurricane
A strong force inside
Is drawing me close
I can’t resist the winds
That carry me
A weakening voice
Keeps telling me
To draw back
I hear it
I would like to heed its call
But I’m bound to the wind
The wind [...]

Junge Frau

Junge FrauDie du nie ein Mädchen sein durftest
Dein Blick trifft mitten in die SeeleAus deinem HerzenMitten ins Herz
Du willst dich entfaltenDoch dein Innerstes ist immer noch gebunden
Dein Körper der einer FrauDein Herz viel zu früh Aus der KindheitIns Erwachsenwerden gerissen
Wird sich das Mädchen in dirJe aus seinem Gefängnis wagen?

Submerged

Lying on the bottom of the seaWaves rolling slowly over me
Why do I still live?I cannot breatheHave no airPanic is my companion
Try to swim upwardsBut I am made of leadAll the force I useOf no use
Am I damned to be hereIn a placeWhere no man can live?
Eternal drowning panic
Who said hell is made of fire?

Out of the Concrete

Once I feltLike my feet were stuckIn hardened concrete
But then you cameYour soft stepsYour shy waysHave been harder than a hammer
They have been thrashingThe groundIn which I am stuck
Now slowlyI start breaking freeGrowing wings againAfter my crash to the ground
Make me flyMake me rise to the sunRiding the border of heavenUntil the next
Crash

Wise Woman

What do you see
When you look inside my heart?
Is it the chaos in my soul?
Is it the lack of order in my thoughts?
You told me
You don’t like what you see
I know
Neither do I
Your vision
Sharper than the eye of the eagle
Sees what my mind can’t perceive
I think you see something inside me
A light in the storm [...]

Blizzard

Out in the chilly breeze
She fights against the storm
Again and again
She falls to the ground
Immediately buried by the fury of the storm
But every time
She digs herself out of the snow
Stands up
Takes step by step
She feels nothing going on
The icy storm has numbed her fingers and toes
For her it’s like treading water
But she has gone a [...]

Raindrops

Raindrops keep falling on my head
Make my sadness grow like a tree
Sunlight is nothing but distraction
Let the sadness of our souls branch into each other
Make the thicket between us strong
And drain the power inside our souls
Until we’re too weak to let go
Choking each other with the other’s sadness
Finally cracking and falling down
Dead

Musik

Im Moment besteht mein Leben
Zum größten Teil
Aus Musik
Ich arbeite
Fahre mit dem Zug
Und habe doch nur
Musik im Kopf
Schaltet die Arbeit ab
Schaltet die Züge ab
Mein Leben soll
Musik sein
Musik soll
Mein Leben sein

The Singer

There he stands
In the shadow of a house
Can’t see the people passing by
No icon of beauty
No one really understands
What he sings about
He’s there
Day and night
Summer and winter
Often alone
Then with friends
Every time I pass him by
His foreign songs
Are so familiar to me
Although I know he can’t see
I smile at him
Because his songs
Touch me
