Reflections

When 3 weeks ago feels like forever
A long way to go
One day after another
When 10 years ago feels like yesterday
A reflection in my window
Where my hair is gray
When 3 weeks ago feels like forever
It goes way too slow
Thought I had it together
When 10 years ago feels like yesterday
Self-reflection on my sorrow
It’s only fair to fade away

Tunnel
03:42
|
|||
|
I wanna feel light enough
Just to dance in my apartement while I’m cooking
I wanna be oblivious enough
Not to care about someone watching
You lift my heart up, you’re good to me
And make me forget what’s unnecessary
I’ve been in this tunnel for too long but now I see…
Do I believe in this kind of stuff?
The ‘light at the end’ might be disappointing
Do I need a break? Last year has been rough
Chasing achievements is all-consuming
Because nothing else feels important
And everything else feels insignificant
I’ve been in this tunnel for too long but now I see
How life can be focusing on making each other happy

Enjoy The View
03:34
|

Tears drip down my cheeks
Leaving a salty taste on my lips
I sneeze but I won't speak
Even though I'd like someone to notice
And I feel deep down in my stomach
Hunger and boredom entangled
These needs keep me awake
And I’m constantly around too many people
But still, I’m having a hard time feeling alone
I’m exhausted, my eyes all dried out
But still, I’m having a hard time falling asleep
I’m exhausted and realized:
My body can fold way more times than I expected
Still learning patience, and as my legs get numb
I'm just trying to enjoy the view a little
Trying to catch the moments of my life
Before there will be no more of them to catch

Horizon
03:45
|
|||
|
Settlements
The end in sight
Can’t forget
Can’t hold fight
Healing process
Time out
Reaching hands
In the rising tide
And all what’s left
Is sinking down
As light bends over the horizon
My entire world unravels
Losing sense
Marking time
The sun sets
On all lives
Losing faith
Burning out
The wave breaks
On the shoreline
And beyond the edge
As night fell over the ocean
Lies and prayers swirl
As light bends over the horizon
My entire world is sinking down

See You Soon
04:45
|
|||
|
An old story to tell at dinner
Decorated envelopes to treasure
If we had a question you’d have an answer
Because you knew everything, down to the rarest flowers
Seeing beauty, watching over
Like a guardian angel sitting on our shoulders
But here you are
Stuck in your bed
Stuck in your head
Already very far
Yeah here you are
Stuck in your bed
Stuck in your head
You’ve held on this far
Your wedding ring fell from your finger
Everytime I come by you’re getting smaller
I guess it gets worse before it gets better
You’re disappearing now, you’re getting closer
But here you are
Stuck in your bed
Stuck in your head
You’ve held on this far
So you can let go now
Even if you’re scared
Think of what you said
« This is just goodbye »
We’ll see you soon

Punches
02:24
|

I remember the time I was funny
The « little clown » in the room
Acting and joking around
But I remember now, I’ve always been hiding my feelings
When I should just let them out
I remember the time I could go to a party
Without wearing earplugs
In total confidence
But I remember now, I’ve always been worried about everything
Maybe it just got worse
I remember the time I was angry
Hurting myself throwing punches
Beating myself up
But I remember now, I’ve always been weary for seeking
Something I’ll never find

Loophole
03:43
|
|||
|
I try to get by
But I don’t know who I am anymore
Or what to hope for
A compass, no needle,
I don’t know where we’re heading anyway
So it’s ok...
I made it impossible to find a loophole
To find an Island where I could remain Idle
Weak, unstable
I can’t stay composed and break the pattern
I guess I’m too stubborn
And trying to make sense of it all just feels like drowning
It’s endless, so pointless...
I made it impossible to find a loophole
To find an Island where I could remain Idle

Nostalgia
02:01
|
|||
|
I should have enjoyed it
When I could
But I took it for granted
I had no Idea
It’d be such a drama
And that much harder to cope with nostalgia
Out of melancholia
I write such songs on things I regretted
Can’t seem to help it
Because now I miss it
So much more than I was sick about it

Empty Promises
04:30
|
|||
|
This is the first time I'll take off without letting you know
This is the first time I won't text you when I land
You still make me laugh
But when you smile it makes my heart melt
You’re not a bad person, maybe we’re just not good
To each other anymore
Maybe we could both use some rest from trying our best
You still make me laugh
But when you smile it makes my heart melt
Even more when you're sad
How are we supposed to deal with heartbreak?
All those places I thought we would travel together
My empty dreams, our empty promises
I thought we would live together
But we never shared a home
You still make me laugh
But when you smile it makes my heart melt
Even more when you cry
How are we supposed to deal with heartbreak?

Random Streets
07:29

Always get homesick before I leave
Always get sick after coming back
They ask « So, how was it? »
I couldn’t say, I’ve only seen random streets and service stations
A usual order at the coffee shop and that’s about it
I said « It’s my last night, tomorrow I’ll leave »
The only chance to see you all before I come back
I'm upset but I get it...
I'm never there so life goes on without me
Wherever I am, I’m still afraid of missing out
Oh I miss my friends...
Wouldn’t wanna be somewhere else, with no one else
Always get homesick before I leave
Always get sick after coming back
I said it’s my last night, tomorrow I’ll leave
The only chance to see you all before I come back
But what if I don’t ever come back?
