Just a lullaby I wrote a couple of years ago. The music is written by me (although the chorus contains a piano sample by MAGIX). Lyrics are written by me.


As far as I know now
It's taking its toll on me 
Tripping on this daily road of confusion
Tangled up in disarray
We're only moments
Lost in time
I feel I'm better off

Asleep
Although I don't dream
Nightmares calling me
Crawling into me

I've been wandering around our past all day long
Memories of us meddle in my mind
So at night I don't dare to open my eyes
Let's pick up the sorest pieces of the pictures too fragile to 

Keep
Before they tear at me when I sleep
Nightmares calling me
Crawling into me
They keep on haunting me

The dark has buried our will to see
Why would I sing when the final bells toll?
The final bells fell

Asleep
And I can't wish it all away, no
'Cause I can't dream it all away
But I can't sleep it all away

Nightmares calling me
They keep on haunting me

Asleep

Poem and music written by me. 

Dissolving Empires

Silence is the reflection of our repugnancy after we’ve slain each other with the one persistent truth still burning under our coarse finger tips…
I wanted to grab your hand and lead you away…. 

… Out of the improvident city and her screeching lights flickering on the inanimate bodies which squirm and writhe – boozed up – in pain their fears forbid to express… 

…Beyond reach of conventional self-appointed experts and their presumptuous advice not asked for…

…Away from their shammed regimes incessantly bemusing our senses and twisting our system of values… 

Degradation
Abhorrence
Contempt
Scorn

untiring

But exactly as their respective subject, their targeted object you refuse to take it. Systematically you’ve learnt to mistrust.
You’ve learnt that resistance in favour of your own beliefs is an onerous and secluded path. 
You’ve learnt that whomever you lent the power to praise you has equal power to shatter. 
But I am in no way superior to you. My methods too are rooted in dissolving empires. 

Silly boy…
If only you saw all you could be and reached out… 
If only you dared to dive and cast your doubts away and detached yourself from a role thrust upon you so dutifully fulfilled all these years…
Maybe then we could leave this desolated place together assured of the indefinite prospects within our grasp. 

Until then I’ll serve as a reminder to you that broken bones are less painful than a bent back.

Ordinary World (Duran Duran Cover By Annina Melissa)

Vocalist/Composer/Poet/Pianist

German-Canadian musician Annina Melissa is a classically trained pianist, vocalist and songwriter whose work focuses on the expression of  macabre and morbid aspects of the human condition. 
The London-based artist combines ambient, electronic and metal elements with opulent orchestral arrangements and strong visuals - often experimenting with eerie, unusual sounds and haunting clean vocals. Revolving around sombre subjects and the darker facets of life her music depicts autobiographical struggles and takes the listener on a cathartic journey of raw emotion and versatility. Currently self-produced, Annina Melissa takes influence from sources as varied as personal traumata, her love for Victorian Gothic literature, philosophy, elaborate classical and film compositions as well as a profound passion for expressive music transcending numerous genres to develop a sound familiar yet unique in its own right.
As well as being an international touring musician and accomplished lyricist who has written and collaborated with a variety of musicians she further demonstrates her creativity by working closely with designers and photographers as a published alternative model.
