Layers Of Green
04:21

I find peace in these layers of green
I find peace in the scent and soothing noises
that surrounding me and now I understand what it means
to feel whole and not being scattered in pieces
But they put this pressure on me
To be part of this society
Right here I've got no meaning
Only sittin' here watching the waves flooding the shore
Right here I've got no meaning at all
I'm just a part of something so much bigger than myself
I feel at ease
when I'm barefoot on the shore
I feel at ease
when I can soak up the ocean breeze
and salty traces covering my skin
To this kind of authority I'm willing to give in
Cause there's no pressure on me
Here, it's not important what I have achieved
Right here I've got no meaning
Only sittin' here watching the waves flooding the shore
Right here I've got no meaning at all
I'm just a part of something so much bigger than myself
It's so much bigger than we all
It's so much bigger than you
All the things that matter today don't matter anymore
It's so much bigger than we all
It's so much bigger than you
All the things that matter you don't matter to me
'Cause right here we've got no meaning
Only sittin' here watching the waves flooding the shore
Right here we've got no meaning at all
I'm just a part of something so much bigger than myself

Walking On
04:17
|

I feel a lightness coming with every step ahead
I feel some courage growing with every step ahead
I find some clarity in my chaotic thoughts
I feel more confident when I'm walking all alone
I need to trust myself again
It's the essence of change
I need to trust myself again
So I'm able to love just like I was used to do
I can set my spirits free under those fern trees
No distractions, no self-created misery
I'll keep on walking on pathways I don't know
And then I'll find some truth in lies I've told myself before
I trust myself again
It's the essence of change
I trust myself again
So I'm able to love you just like I was used to do
Just like I used to do
I feel strenth again
I feel hope again
I feel love again
I feel tranquility although I'm moving on
I feel an energy from which I've thought it's gone
Finally, I'm proud again of what I've achieved so far
As long as I'm walking on I keep my life from standing still

Brooklands (This Day)
03:34
|
|||
This day when I wanted the sun stop shining
This day when honesty just hurts
From forests to grass
It has all been cut down
Just like this love that won't grow anymore
We walked the dead streets of brooklands
when truth was pouring down
We walked along these shores
when something new started to grow
This day when I couldn't stand the silence
Cause it has said too much for so long
This day when stormy clouds where floodlit be the sun
This day when we've came undone
We walked the dead streets of brooklands
when truth was pouring down
We walked along these shores
when something new started to grow

Beauty Of The Distance
03:21
|
|||
I like to arrive just as much as I like to leave
This place was a home for a while
But it's good to be gone
A silent call from another place
I feel the beauty of the distance
Now I'm alone besides some fantails buzzing around me
They follow me and they guide me
A path I still don't know
The world is my home away from home
I embrace the beauty of the distance
The wine has never tasted better
When everything makes sense
When everything comes together
When confidence shoots out of every single pore
A flush of luck so gentle but so short
The world is my home away from home
I embrace the beauty of the distance
The world is my home away from home
I embrace the beauty of the distance
The beauty of the distance
The beauty of the distance
This place was a home for a while...

Farewell Song
04:11
|
|||
I'm ready to let go
To set myself free
I've never thought it would be that easy to leave
My wanderlust and my restlessness
are the perfect remedy to fill up this emptiness
that always surrounds me...sometimes more, sometimes less
I could tell you all about it but I just don't know how to start
Your farewell-words and my awkward hush
I feel like I'm in chains in this free country
I feel like I'm in chains at home
All their words have too much impact on my thoughts and decisions
I need times to be alone. It's a reset for my soul
Your grownup thoughts and my youthful ways
And I just don't fit in
I'm a libertine from deep within
And I won't ever fit
To your concepts and dreams
Your roles and schemes
We don't share the same reality
So maybe this is goodbye.
Maybe this is goodbye
Tell me: Are you still happy with me?
I know it's hard to deal with my sensitivity
And where's the pride of walking side by side?
I'm afraid I'm a better lover than being a partner to you
Your shy hands and my angry heart
And I just don't fit in
I'm a loner from deep within
And I won't ever fit
To your concepts and dreams
Your roles and schemes
We don't share the same reality
So maybe this is goodbye
Maybe this is goodbye
This is goodbye
