Verse 1:
He knows her for years now
He knows all her colours
He still can't believe that,
She's honestly selfish
She doesn't mean it that way
She's pure narcissism
She still can't believe that,
He's honestly selfless
She doesn't notice at all
he's got everything what I would die for, I would die for!
He should't waste more time,
Take life, fulfill it!
He should know better, he should know!
Chorus:
In all these times we lost ourselves,
we are restless! Restless!
No more tranquillity,
Get off anxiety,
we're restless! Restless!
Verse 2:
Early mornin' faces
With embittered voices
Destroy him daily,
he can't bear it patiently!
Depressions from 9 to 5
He lost his sense in life
But who'll care for luxury
If he won't satisfy?

Parody of Life

Verse 1
A cloud's darkest shape
Seems still lighter than a fire's spark,
Vanishing in the dark.
A woman's greatest love
Not as shaping as one's deepest mark.
What a blemished but beautiful art!
Prechorus 1
From mystery to sensuality!
Verse 2
A flower's gorgeousness
Seems more charming than a tree's leaf.
Let's free it from this misery!
A man will still not cure
A widow's bitter grief.
What a tender disbelief!
Prechorus 2
From mystery to sesuality-
It's all bound in this huge pot!
Careless floating but restricted thinkin'-
Are part of life's vicious plot.
Chorus
It's like falling when you just passed,
Missing your great love, cause you never asked!
How could it be different?
It's the parody of life.
What about pay rise if you hate your job?
Do you care about signs if you don't trust in God?
How could it be different?
It's the parody of life.
Bridge
Oh, Life! X2
Give me life! x2

World for a Day

Verse 1:
There are so many places to be,
so many aims to reach.
There's nothing that I wouldn't do!
I wish a whole lotta stuff to explore,
my own secret of success.
I'd like to vanish in Utopia!
Chorus:
Would you want to rule this world for a day?
Let's leave those thousand of miles behind
and float into other spheres,
where humanity and solitude won't end up in hate.
I wanna cross the edge and stop
talking in vain!
Verse 2:
Time's too short to act it all out,
don't waste your prime of life!
I don't wanna get a raw deal!
We have the image of living in our dreams,
going through mirrors and through clouds.
I'm not gonna spend my life in captivity!
Chorus
Bridge:
We'll leave our load behind,
We'll find a better way!
We're not gonna cave in!
No more minds being confined,
no more thoughts to sway!
Chorus

Nothin' But

Verse 1:
The door bells, but no one's opening.
I'm right on time, but he's not caring.
Love letters and expensive gifts
does not mean that I'm meant for him. (Oh, no!)
Prechorus:
You see nothin' but yourself!
Verse 2:
Ten messages a day without any sense,
so many words that, that don't mean a thing.
Why do you pray that you devote yourself,
if there is no sensibility. (Oh, no)
Prechorus:
You see nothin' but yourself!
Chorus:
(Don't you know that) life depends on chance
and wishes turn into demands.
For God's sake!
You can't be satisfied,
is this how you chose to live your life?
Don't try!
You see nothin' but yourself!
Verse 3:
So many moments in which I needed you,
no sense in asking, you never tell the truth.
Do you really think that I'll wait 'till death,
I better leave and catch my breath. (Oh, yeah)
Prechorus:
You see nothin' but yourself!
Chorus
Bridge:
I admit that we shared some of those
moments which shaped me the most.
But sometimes it feels too hard to bear,
I fear it could be only a manner to care.
My thoughts feel like hell of a row,
but I know that we have to let it go.
But at least it's only a moment of grime
until we're back to earth and back in time, back in time, back in time!
Chorus
