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

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 of fate

Hast du schon einmal gesehen
Wie es aussieht
Wenn im Herzen eines lieben Menschen
Ein tiefes Loch klafft?

Hast du einen Teil der Schmerzen empfunden?
Hast du ihn weinen gesehen
Obwohl er gedacht hat
Es falle dir nicht auf?

Hast du versucht
Die Last mitzutragen
Obwohl du unter dem bisschen
Das dir offenbar wurde
Fast zusammengebrochen wärst?

Du allein kannst den Abgrund nicht füllen
Die Last nicht tragen
Ein gebrochenes Herz flicken

Der Abgrund
In den du hineinschaust
Wird auch in deinem Herzen sein

Junge Frau
Die du nie ein Mädchen sein durftest

Dein Blick trifft mitten in die Seele
Aus deinem Herzen
Mitten ins Herz

Du willst dich entfalten
Doch dein Innerstes ist immer noch gebunden

Dein Körper der einer Frau
Dein Herz viel zu früh
Aus der Kindheit
Ins Erwachsenwerden gerissen

Wird sich das Mädchen in dir
Je aus seinem Gefängnis wagen?

Young woman
Who was never allowed to be a girl

Your look goes straight into my soul
From your heart
Straight to my heart

You want to unfold
But your inner self is still tightly bound

Your body is that of a woman
Your heart much to early
Ripped out of childhood
Into adulthood

Will the little girl inside you
Ever dare to come out of her prison?

Lying on the bottom of the sea
Waves rolling slowly over me

Why do I still live?
I cannot breathe
Have no air
Panic is my companion

Try to swim upwards
But I am made of lead
All the force I use
Of no use

Am I damned to be here
In a place
Where no man can live?

Eternal drowning panic

Who said hell is made of fire?

Once I felt
Like my feet were stuck
In hardened concrete

But then you came
Your soft steps
Your shy ways
Have been harder than a hammer

They have been thrashing
The ground
In which I am stuck

Now slowly
I start breaking free
Growing wings again
After my crash to the ground

Make me fly
Make me rise to the sun
Riding the border of heaven
Until the next

Crash

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 of darkness
Would you have left me alone?
Would you have revealed your thoughts
To someone who understands?

The songs I sing
The poems I write
The words I say
The man I am

All that is just a reflection of me
The soul inside
That you have seen

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 long way

Hours and hours on end
She walks on
Looking for a light and a fire
To warm her frozen heart

The falling snow
Clouds her vision

But what she’s looking for
May be
Just
One
More
Step
Away.

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

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
