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
