Revolution 03:35
I bring the sacrifices To protect the fire from the wind I run as fast as I can And still we have an axe to grind But now’s the right time Exactly the right time Now it’s the right time To let it go When you wake up with the feeling that you’re falling down Let it go I’m in three places at the same time Holding the wheel and answering the phone In a hurry to come home soon What do you need? Just gimme a hint But now is the right time Exactly the right time Now it’s the right time To let it go Come back to the ground and let yourself go Let it go To turn off all devices Give the finger to my brain Forget the pain and start the healing And accept what it brings Now’s the right time Exactly the right time Now it’s the right time To let it go To feel the flow Cos I wanna be free And I wanna go Cos we never know What will let us grow So now let it go
2.
Undercover 03:36
Hidden places Games with twisted rules Turning you on, beautiful When you say You wanna hide in me The sound of your voice is so full Where did we go? Where do we go? The world tonight Is not the same cause you and I We're undercover For a while And we don't need Any other tricks for now We're undercover Shining through the night The taste, so mild Staying in my mouth All the rest I want to leave behind Is this the art of being what we really are? Is it something we hope to find? Where do we go? Where do we want to go? The world tonight Is not the same cause you and I We're undercover For a while And we don't need Any other tricks for now We're Undercover Staying up all night
3.
All Alone 03:21
I’m climbing up the ivy-hidden walls My nest is soft enough in case I fall You can love me And not give up on giving You can dope me But don’t expect me to Share your dreams No, you dream them on your own If you’re down and low - Why don’t you move along? You’re dancing tricky dances every single night Baby I’m sorry but I don’t mind You can heal me And show me all your lust You can love me (but) You’re selfish if you do We are finally feeling all alone Is that the only way to move along? We are finally feeling all alone But that is the only way to move along
4.
Addicted 03:06
You‘re dancing with me And the lines begin to blur I’m messed up for a while But then I know for sure That I won’t ever meet you again And the blood is circling in my veins And I feel free And I feel no pain We all, we’re looking for what is wrong And we’re addicted Come on, bring it on We all, we’re looking for what is wrong In a shadow we are strong Another place And other guys to meet I like you a lot And your kisses and the heat If you hold me tight tonight We will know that it’s all right And it’s oh so good To feel alive We all, we’re looking for what is wrong And we’re addicted We all, we’re looking for what is wrong In a sorrow we are strong
5.
You have lost But you didn’t know that you were playing The roar of the crowds (Is) celebrating those who are winning What is the cost Of the words that you were saying? Stuck up and proud Never showing any doubts Oh no Could it be over? Humiliated and Pushed into to a corner Now where do you belong? When this game is over? Oh no Could it be over You have lost No matter how hard you have tried Shouting out loud Doesn’t help, you need to hide To hide To find a safe place Oh no Could it be over? Now you lose your mind You feel fifty years older And where do you belong When this game is over? Oh no Could it be over You will never be the same again Is this a new start or is it the end? No one is around to ease the pain You will never be the same again
6.
Spotlight 03:27
I’ve gotta hide from your light When you dazzle and when you shine You make rainbows light up brighter than ever You’ve gotta find me, I’m not here You want to swim cos the water’s clear Someone is laughing and shouting go and get her You are the spotlight I wanna forget and walk the line Stories about you are all around You’d burn me sooner or later I’ve gotta leave now, disappear You’re gonna get me; I know it’s near Put out the fire, it seems to be better You are the spotlight It is so hard to take Why is it so hard to take your love forever?
7.
So I Say 03:58
I woke up one minute ago Where is my mind? And where’s my phone? And where the fuck am I now? Did I get to this place alone? My brain’s in a thousand pieces like a broken mirror on the floor Why did you call me sixteen times? Last time I saw you I had so much fun and it was easy Now can you read between the lines? When someone’s desperate they do desperate things and much much more And your text says Baby what is it good for? So I say I’m not gonna stay now So I say I’m not going to wait So I say Go find your way now So I say Seize the day So you think this is what I want? Do you believe that it was me who chose a life in chaos? Would you say I deserve the taunting? Let’s forget what’s in the past, tomorrow is a day away now Anyway, who knows What is it all good for? So I say I’m not gonna stay now So I say I’m not going to wait So I say Go find your way now So I say Seize the day
8.
Surprise 03:02
I know you’re hunting When you’re looking at me Circling, stalking Like a shark in the sea You wanna be a winner But so do I What we both need now Is just a little surprise Show me something I wanna feel free There’s nothing I won’t believe And then I know your secrets And you know mine Surprises stop us going mad
9.
Acronyms 03:48
I don’t mind if you’re mad I just hate that you forget What’s been said And what we felt And how we shone When we first met I couldn’t see your hesitation And all the mess you always bring here With you I don’t care if you’re sad I just don’t want to regret All that has been done Desire fed It’s just my hunger that still remains Was I just your entertainment? And what has always made me come back to you?
10.
Dreams 04:24
It was years ago And it all had flown It came to me somehow And it was all I needed at the time I felt lost in you Melted down I wish I knew how you Made me feel high and made me cry Now it’s gone All I’ve got To be honest now I couldn’t say it aloud But for a pretty long, long time I felt lost in a crowd Oh I miss the way You were touching me And the way you looked in my eyes When I asked you to hold me tight Now it’s gone All I’ve got now Are the dreams about you They should stop but they’re coming Dreams about you They should stop but they keep coming back
11.
Be Kind 05:35
The black is back After a flash of light Chaos wins But it’s very tight You want to run But you’re paralyzed You only wait No you don’t bite You won’t scream No scandal girl After all You’ve been socialized You won’t fight It’s nothing you can’t stand Like many times before You‘re gonna use it all Be kind To the darkness in your soul Sometimes It can make you move The darkness makes marks In your past You’re not first And you’re not last You can’t see What made you feel all right So you are staring At the clouds You breathe in And you breathe out After all You’ve been socialized You cannot fight Something that’s your part Like many times before You’ll have to use your brain Be kind To the darkness in your soul Sometimes It can make you move
