On this multi-part journey, the protagonist escapes the lockdown trap of Berlin through the motorik freeways, and eventually ends up in an 80’s rave on the mountain, where the ego dissolves - just to fade into the ambient stratosphere.

Lyric:

Time it’s time
Let it all shine thru when there’s no light outside
Why, oh why?
All injustices you need to rectify
I
Can’t keep it inside
Can’t close my eyes from what’s going down in these times

Cease
To please
Face to pain you’re set to reach your dreams
Wise 
Word of Advice
It may be useful to get to know your vice
Faith
Insane 
You are destined to keep pushing ‘gainst the grain
Blame
Past mistakes
Hold your head up high as you’re walking thru their shade

Change 
Exchange
Shake your cage my friend until it finally breaks  
Pain 
How much can you take?
If you wait you might get cherry on the cake
Sign
Oh my
See the tables turn, hear the cries from the world you left behind 

So what's the matter baby?
Are you just gonna sit there and watch life go by?
Take the key to your destiny 
Back in your own hand

Shake Your Cage (radio edit)

Wander through the night towards the gleaming dawn,
on a midsummer high
Children playing in the field their clarion voices remind me of my childhood 
Maybe we’ve learned too much to be able to live without fear

It amazes me why it’s so rare when we can cling to the moments 
What’s the true value of the memories that our minds are guarding

On that moment of bursting daybreak, we are destiny’s favourites
We know the secrets of the past centuries but we’ve come here to realise, it’s all over in a twinkling
In the shade of the giant oak, we get our rest after being blessed by the new blazing summer
Floating days of golden filtered sunlight

floating daze

silent gun
made us consume
we got outdone
by algorithmic tools
It happened all too subtly
distracted from reality
until we have no clue who we give our data to

under the cyber thumb
wanna be forever young
watching the dying sun
trying to make it all undone

brainwashed and numb
It’s nothing new
are we on the run?
into the doom
stuck inside our virtual dreams
we walk among the radar beams
In a world where nothing is quite as it seems
