Was sollen wir denken

Sieben Tage lang

This text was inspired by quotes from the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, and related ancient proverbs. It has aspects of Ludwigs original perspective, suggesting that things beyond linguistic expression should be left unsaid, but also of situations where language is fully appropriate to express our thoughts - but we still should choose silence. Or should we?

Lyrics:
Good advice was given long ago
a wise man said to let the silence glow
My mind agrees, but my heart may dare
perhaps the sound of silence should be rare
 
Some risks we never take
Some wows we never break
Some words we never say
If we cannot find another way 

The wise prefer to keep the Pharao's gold
But I will die for any silver sold
The words unsaid, they can still be true
speaking out could break the truth we knew
 
Some risks we never take
Some wows we never break
Some words we never share
As if we cannot feel enough to care

The limits of our language, means the limits of our world
Of what we cannot speak, please leave the silence undisturbed
And while our minds plead caution, our hearts they ache to share, because we care

Some risks we never take
Some wows we never break
Some words we never voice
If we cannot make another choice  

Solo

Some risks we never take
Some wows we never break
Some words we never voice
If we cannot make another choice

Sieben Tage lang
