Alter Ego

Watch myself on the other side
See the bits and pieces breaking through
Something's there and I cannot hide
As I'm gazing at this deja-vu
Misty face on a seagull's cry
Opens eyes and breaks the wind into
Something lives that can never die
As the waves consume my other You
I never thought I'd find my
Alter Ego
So I'm standing on this cliff
Unexplainably aroused
As she's down there by the water
Dancing with my ghost
Spacetime curves as our bodies fall
Through the void of possibilities
All in one, but I'm one in all
Just a drifter on the seven seas
Unexpected urgency
As the gap is widening in between
Me surreal and you a dream
Gotta draw the line and take the scene
I never thought I'd find my
Alter Ego

Voyage

Dans le vent de cette place
En dormant je surpasse
Le voyage infini
Qui m'entoure
Sur
Le sombre bleu du jour
Fut plus
Obscur
Le paysage mis en scene devant
Mes yeux fermees
Imprime ses images dans mon coeur
Comme la neige disparait
And like a dream
The snow went by
The clouds are empty faces
In enigmatic skies
Ride with me
Fly with me
Tonight
Un nuage disparu
Dont l'essence s'enfuit
Reste dans mon esprit
Il fait froid
Quand
Je me reveille, je vois
Le monde
En noir
Et je cherche le blanc perdu
Ses dernieres traces
Comme si ce jour je n'aurais pas vu
Et quelqu'un le remplace
And like a dream...
Komm mit mir
And like a dream...

Take Me High
04:03
|

|
Find me in the outskirts of this nevercaring town
lighting some more matches as the city's burning down
concrete jungle beat
lost in neonlight
fire is the only chance to
warm us up tonite
incinerate relentless motion
paint the sky in red
freezeframe with a single notion
of the things we've never had
melting dreams becoming statues
of a life gone out of sight
in your eyes reflecting stairways
take me high
take me high tonite
I wanna live, I wanna breathe, I wanna smile, I wanna run,
I wanna laugh, I wanna cry, and I am shocked what I've become
Where is the light, where is the sea, there's nothing left inside of me
I wanna yearn, I wanna learn, oh show me how to feel alive
I'm really sad to say
you won't get out of here alive
there's nothing to hold on to
when the best of you has died
there's nothing to adore
when everything's demystified
you can't replace your passion
with a little bit of pride
I'm wearing clownish costumes
just to keep you satisfied
the promisses are broken
and again, my friend, they've lied
you've dried out, dried out
you've become as cold as ice
your heart may keep on beating
but there's nothing left inside
I wanna live...
I'm really sad to say
you won't get out of here alive
there's nothing to hold on to
when the best of you has died
there's nothing to adore
when everything's demystified
you can't replace your passion
with a little bit of pride
Wake up, wake up
open your eyes
all the gods that you
worshipped have died
the skies are empty
there's noone to obey
now it's your own turn
time to work, time to play

Fallen Angel
03:14
|

|
Once you tried to be a rainbow
Once you tried to shine so bright
Someone came and stole your colours
Threw a towel on your light
Noone cared to hear you screaming
No gods came to ease your strife
Welcome back, you fallen angel
To the stormy side of life
You can do just what you wanna
You can kill or you can die
Be a beggar or a princess
But you'll never lose your style
You can choose the name you wanna
You can fall or you can fly
Be a fairy or a monster
But you'll never lose your style
Freedom is the path you chose to
Write your story on your own
Loneliness is what you're reaping
Now that you are fully grown
All you dreamed of, all you built up
All that seemed so save at last
Lies behind in ruins, just
Another thing that wouldn't last
You can do...
Burning bridges
To where I came from
No connection
To where I've been
All I capture
Is something long gone
New detachment
From all I've seen
You can do...
