Quotes:

Great Music. […] Most importantly I feel the need to point out that I think its criminal that the song “Home” isn’t way longer than 0:57 because it’s really beautiful.

iconstanti, music fan, via r/bass

I love your band and want to make love to all of you.

Lyrics

well the working day is getting closer     and you, you’re still unsatisfied     you turn around still feeling nothing     still craving for that something you don’t have. it seems your unconfessed desires     conspire to poison your icy blood up     now you still lack a formal identity     and have no commercial sex appeal. just before your new ambitions     could engulf you in pain and lies     so many answers will be heard     no need to conjure your brains up     so close to heaven     so close to eternal life     just another short commercial     before giving up.

Lyrics

they look so good     they must feel well     i’m not so sure i can say the same:     a bit too fat     not enough hair     they look so good     i am a mess. the gods are here     they just look swell     they’re never old     they don’t even sweat     i’m not as cool,     i was born old     what can i do to be like them? i try to smoke     to lose some weight     buy some new clothes     to look like them     i try to think     to find some way     my mind just aches,     my mind is dead. not hip enough     i just feel shame     it doesn’t work     the pain’s still here.     i cannot live and feel this way     i cannot live!     oh, what a waste! hey, doctor, listen here     i don’t seem to be able to face my own life     come on now, i need some pills     to help me keep my breath and stop my sighs     they are looking at me     from magazine covers and TV screens     doc, i really need some pills     to overcome confusion and be free! now i feel new     i smile again     feeling complete at day break     i have my pills     i couldn’t care less     i have my pills     my pills are sex! i am a god!     i am the best!     now i feel goo, don’t feel regret     here i stand tall,     here i attest:     my pills are life     my pills are great!

Lyrics

memories forgotten     and the echoes of the changing times     opening like flowers     hidden shapes along my path. the landscape stays the same     with every building i’m passing by     stuck in shapes now lost in time     almost like a game. the weariness of my nerves     the alluring sound of my goodbye     i’m lost in my remembrance     within my dreams and my past. i move across the darkness     my feet they barely touch the ground     i’m the herod of my silence     now i know at last. no clouds on the horizon     so far only peace before my eyes     i must go on and keep on trying     to make some sense of these strange times. clouds and cherry blossoms     the songs of rivers full of life     these memories are fading     they’re left behind where they won’t last. i look beyond today     and i still find traces of my past     i am coming down my mountain     the spring will come at last. no clouds on the horizon     i must leave this desert far behind     i must go on     try to follow the geometries of nature’s mind. no clouds on the horizon     my hope is blooming in my eyes     i’m sure it will all pass     i’m sure one day the rain will come.

Lyrics

in the hours of the evening     i never know what to do     it’s not a question of disappointment     if i’d rather stay at home     you see     all my friends are on the line     “we’re going out, do you wanna come?”     i don’t want to get up now     “we will catch up later on.” and then you     you again     you are always a surprise     you     you again     you find a way to make me smile. so i wonder as i dress up     do you really want me back?     are those words of love and friendship     only trying to fool me again?     i think back to all those evenings     we were pretty wild then     are those nights behind now?     will they still be in our way? oh, but it’s you     you again     sending shivers down my spine     you     you again     there’s no real place to hide. i forget the wise resolutions     that my friends put in my head     time runs fast when you’re around     and pretty soon we will be dead. anyway     it is you     you are always a surprise     you     you again     you find a way to my heart!
