eXpAnDiNg wAtEr - nevertheless (2022)

01 - lambda

i´m getting nearer

to the underground

no-one said it will be easy

 

it´s work in progress

this is what i have found

little steps to get it to the goal

 

it´s all depending

what is in your mind

you cannot wash it all away

 

and now you´re here

here forever

forever lost in the vacuum of your heart

 

and when you try to see

the other side of me

you will try to hide

there´s nothing else to feel

 

it´s getting darker

in the underground

it feels more complicated now

 

the moon is rising

but so far away

irritating thoughts are in your head

 

no resurrections

you are here to stay

rectifying times and place for now

 

and now you´re here

here forever

forever lost in the vacuum of your soul

 

and when you try to see

the other side of me

you will try to hide

there´s nothing else to feel

 

and when you try to see

the other side of me

you will try to hide

there is nothing else to feel

 

no resurrections

you are here to stay

you are here to stay

now

02 - flow

spend your time with someone else

it doesn´t mean a thing to me

 

you´re the one who´s always wrong

you´ll be alone in the end

 

why do you think that you can tell

how to behave or react

 

and why do you think you have the right

being here in my light?

 

you use words like always and never

give me the feeling that i´m bad

 

but i´m just not like you

nothing to make me feel sad

 

i don´t want to have doubts

what to think and to mean

 

that´s just how i see the world

perhaps a place outside your screen

 

you´re out of control

in your flow

03 - nevertheless

i don´t care what they will say 

it´s doesn´t mean a thing to me 

it´s true to find a way to care 

and colourful to sing 

 

a peaking sound to have is hard 

to hold the bottom of your truth 

the mind is falling down apart 

repeating here and now the youth 

 

and nevertheless i am here to be there 

and to share this world with you 

 

it will never be so easy 

but we keep holding on 

to help each other here in this life 

until the dawn will come along 

 

it will never be so easy 

but we keep holding on 

to help each other here in this life 

until the dawn will come along 

 

i will be the one you like to 

even if it takes some time 

please don´t stress yourself too hard 

it is not a crime 

 

the hurting part is falling down 

wherever you are laying now 

the world is crashing now in pieces 

until you start to grow 

  

it will never be so easy 

but we keep holding on 

to help each other here in this life 

until the dawn will come along 

 

it will never be so easy 

but we keep holding on 

to help each other here in this life 

until the dawn will come along 

 

and now it is time to feel 

you can walk beside yourself 

it is strange and sometimes real 

an interesting behave 

 

the burdens coming down so far 

chaotic dreams inside your head 

i will be here just for you 

it´s the word you have to spread 

 

and nevertheless i am here to be there 

and to share this world with you 

 

it will never be so easy 

but we keep holding on 

to help each other here in this life 

until the dawn will come along 

 

it will never be so easy 

but we keep holding on 

to help each other here in this life 

until the dawn will come along 




04 - distinctive

it´s again at half past twelve 

not sure you want to be yourself 

but again it´s getting later 

 

you try to catch it all for now 

the moment in which to take a bow 

it´s needed – it´s well deserved 

 

you´re distinctive 

so distinctive 

 

it feels strange but somehow real 

you don´t know if it´s a good deal 

it has all been said and done 

 

forget the giving up once more 

you need to find the exploring core 

sooner or later you will understand 

 

you´re distinctive 

you´re so distinctive 

 

time will fade it all away 

as if you throw it all away 

no one will see it then 

 

a bitter taste of evidence 

the bitter taste of consequence 

not needed – but well deserved 

 

you´re distinctive 

you´re so distinctive 

distinctive 

05 - grounded

when the face in mirror´s staring back at you

even if it cries you know it isn´t true

the mirror cannot know

 

when the world you see is what your mind creates

is it really true that all the goodness fades

it´s all then up to you to think of what you´re thinking of

 

you have it all – don´t be afraid to see

the key´s in your mind – turn and set growth free

 

when all the other say it has to be this way

and your puzzled cause your truth seems far away

don´t be afraid to feel

 

when the life you live feels just like made for you

is it necessary asking what to do

your heart already knows and feels that you are on your way

 

you have it all - don´t be afraid to use

the key´s in your hand – turn and you can choose

 

you have it all – don´t be afraid to see

the key´s in your mind – turn and set growth free

 

you have it all - don´t be afraid to use

the key´s in your hand


06 - triage

(instrumental)

07 - satisfied

it should not be in another way

it´s fine the way it is

you are here and in my space

a calming cave

 

the way you are is the way i like

it never changed

you´re still here although it´s me

even it is me

 

i will be here

directly here

 

if you want

if you want

if you like to

if you would

 

it should not be in another way

it´s great the way it is

you are here around me

a wonderful cave

 

the way you are is the way i need

it never change

you´re still here although it´s me

even it is me

 

i will be here

directly here

 

if you want

if you want

if you like to

if you would

 

 

i could sing this on and on

because of you

you´re still here although it´s me

even it is me

 

i will be here

directly here

 

if you want

if you want

if you like to

if you would

08 - horsefire

always be friendly

always be kind

that´s what i´ve told to be

now i´m no longer blind

 

you get back what you give

but not from everyone

someone will be a thief

i ask what i´ll become

 

life has been told me

to always think twice, no longer trust blindly

life has been told me

to always think twice, look them in their eyes

 

i´m not like you - that doesn´t mean i´m a fool

i´m not like you - no reason to be cruel

what grows up in your mind?

are you the benchmark for all?

i´m not like you – i am not like you

 

there are people not worth it

to share mind and soul

i stopped to think solving it

cause it´s always making me crawl

 

crawl away from myself

having doubts and guilt

i no longer serve the vampires

with my energy or filth

 

life has been told me

to always think twice, no longer trust blindly

life has been told me

to always think twice, look them in their eyes

 

i´m not like you - that doesn´t mean i´m a fool

i´m not like you - no reason to be cruel

what grows up in your mind?

are you the benchmark for all?

i´m not like you – i am not like you

 

life has been told me

to always think twice, no longer trust blindly

life has been told me

to always think twice, look them in their eyes

 

i´m not like you - that doesn´t mean i´m a fool

i´m not like you - no reason to be cruel

what grows up in your mind?

are you the benchmark for all?

i´m not like you – i am not like you

eXpAnDiNg wAtEr - album with no name (2023)

01 - AIA

The artificial move you can share

An epidemic shout to resign

When there´s no one else here to blame

We cannot count on us


Believe in all these things you can see

The world is more broken than you know

There´s no reset button to be pushed

We have no second chance


We drive against the wall without brakes

We move across the lines with no fakes

We bring it down and see no apathy

We need an artificial intelligence agency


The trees are dying in front of our eyes

Water is poisoning our blood

The air is dirty and it´s raping our lungs

Nothing to believe in here


People are moving from south to the north

They don´t know what the hell to do

Full of scaring thoughts inside their minds

The wake-up call too late


We drive against the wall without brakes

We move across the lines with no fakes

We bring it down and see no apathy

We need an artificial intelligence agency

02 - lost hesitatioN

There´ll be a time you see

What you have done and then you know

You were completely wrong


You feel no shame for now

Although you´re bitter and lost

But you – you carry on

To hide it all


You just hide it all


And you don´t think about the consequences now

You believe that it is all fine what you do

An unbelievable tragedy instead

You deserve that all, you deserve it all


No hesitation at all

You have no sense for that shit and you

Don´t think at all


You feel no shame for now

Inside you´re bitter and lost

And you – you carry on

To hide it all


You just hide it all


And you don´t think about the consequences now

You believe that it is all fine what you do

An unbelievable tragedy instead

You deserve that all, you deserve it all

03 - doorwaY

When I find the afterglow

I realize that it´s my rope

The movement wants to find its way

But you only want to pray


When you like the way I need to find for you

No one else is here to be here like I do

Go the way the way you like for now today

Take the doorway, take the doorway, take it now


The evening shatters ´round the clock

Nobody cries to see the stop

Attention now the time is lost

Hurry up – it´s now a must


When you like the way I need to find for you

No one else is here to be here like I do

Go the way the way you like for now today

Take the doorway, take the doorway, take it now


When you like the way I need to find for you

No one else is here to be here like I do

Go the way the way you like for now today

Just take the doorway, take the doorway, take it now

04 - metaspherE

(lyrics by sAlt)


Hear your voice telling me I´m weak

Hear you scream that I´m a freak

Feel your fingers pull me down

Feel you making me a clown


Now I hate you so much more

You fucking despot make me small

Now I hate you so much more

All I want is see you fall


See you waiting for mistakes

See your smile about my fails

Smell your hunger for me being last

Smell you breathing my own disgust 


Taste your desire making me weak

Taste your trying me feel like a creep

Feel your wish for me to blame

Feel you´re satisfied when I´m in shame


Now I hate you so much more

You fucking despot make me small

Now I hate you so much more

All I want is to see you fall

Now I hate you so much more

Want to push you against the wall

Now I hate you so much more

Can´t stand your voice so despicable


It is fear of letting you go

It is fear of watching me grow

It is fear of don´t needing you

It is fear of me being true


Now I forgive you, you´re so poor

You can leave, don´t need you no more

Now I forgive you, you´re so poor

Go to hell, don´t come back for sure

Now I forgive you, you´re so poor

You can leave, don´t need you no more

Now I forgive you, you´re so poor

Go to hell, don´t come back for sure

05 - redemption liaR

The redemption is far away

No second chance for us

We need you here and now

Do you recognize somehow?


They say you´re here for all of us

And we try to see you in the fog

But you give no sign at all

Are you a liar after all?


Is it enough for you?

Try to be here in these times for now

But I don´t know


It will all come to an end

Maybe faster than we want

It is your end then aswell?

Are you watching from above? As a friend?


They say you´re here for all of us

And we try to see you in the fog

But you give no sign at all

Are you a liar after all?


Is it enough for you?

Dare to be here in these times for now

Maybe I don´t know


A redemption liar

The redemption liar?

A redemption liar

The redemption liar?

06 - settlemenT

It all happens much too fast

This is not what it deserves

The moving circles all around

Neverending times to fly


Something is crashing in the wall

This is luxury instead

And when it comes to the end

It happens much too fast


And even if you want to know it all

You can always find a little step to fall

It´s interesting to read between the words

And to see it from above like the birds


This is happening so fast

Really not what it deserves

The big signs here all around

A complication in detail


Something is crashing in the wall

This is beautiful instead

And now it comes to an end

It happens much too fast


And even if you want to know it all

You can always find a little step to fall

It´s interesting to read between the words

To see it from above like the birds


And even if you want to know it all

You can always find a little step to fall

It´s interesting to read between the words

To see it from above like the birds

07 - sonic daY

Life is like a fleeting dream

A momentary flicker of light

We chase after our hopes and schemes

But time keeps moving out of sight


We strive for success and fame

And build our castles in the sand

But all our efforts are in vain

For nothing in this world will last


Fleeting moments of our lives

Gone in the blink of an eye

We must cherish every second, every day

Before it all passes us by


We hold onto our memories

Of loved ones now long gone

And though they're no longer here to see

Their legacy continues on


So let us live each moment aware

And embrace the joys and the pain

For we never know what tomorrow brings

And we cannot live life again


Fleeting moments of our lives

Gone in the blink of an eye

We must cherish every second, every day

Before it all passes us by


As the years go rolling on

And we feel the pain of time

We realize that life is gone

In a flash, just like a rhyme


Fleeting moments of our lives

Gone in the blink of an eye

We must cherish every second, every day

Before it all passes us by

08 - view from the hilL

Standing at the top of the hill

I can see it all so clear

The world below me, like a scene

A painting that's so dear


I see the hopes and dreams of all

The aspirations we hold near

From this view, they seem so reachable

And I feel no more fear


From this view, from this view, from this view


I can see all so true

The perspective that

I've gained brings peace

to my troubled brain


I can it see all so true

The perspective that

I've gained brings peace

to my troubled brain


I see the worries of the day

The struggles we all face

But from this hill, they seem so small

Problems we can replace


I see the beauty of the world

The love that's all around

The kindness people show

The joy that can be found


From this view, from this view, from this view


I can see all so true

The perspective that

I've gained brings peace

to my troubled brain


I can it see all so true

The perspective that

I've gained brings peace

to my troubled brain


So let's take a moment to stop

And see the world from a hill

And gain the peace and clarity

That only this view can fulfill


I can it see all so true

The perspective that I've gained

brings peace to my troubled brain


I can it see all so true

The perspective that I've gained

brings peace to my troubled brain


This is my view from the hill

09 - sensitive intimacY

10 - the laundry sonG

Just try to watch inside

Innocence you see

You hide your way sometimes

And laugh it all beside

But you want to know it all

Take the stairs into the deep

Somehow it´s easier to be someone else

Sometimes it´s harder to be just like yourself


And I am not what you want

But I will be here still strong

Even if you think it´s not the way you like

Even if you think it´s not the way you like


The reflection of yourself

You see it now so clear

The automation in your mind

It is hard to stand

But you dig in very deep

Want to know it very well

Somehow it´s easier to be someone else

Sometimes it´s harder to be just like yourself


And I am not what you want

But I will be here still strong

Even if you think it´s not the way you like

Even if you think it´s not the way you like


Take the step to the floor when you want

Now you see it is clear you wanted more
