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

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

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...

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
