Nothing Can Save Me (From Myself)

How do they live, how do they go on?
Love always has a tiny-tiny chance.

G/C/G/C

1. (Em) I don´t (Cadd9) know, (G) how to sur(D)vive
(Em) your crazy (Cadd9) life  and (G) no lulla(D)bies.
Your (C) trips and endless (G) work are still
(Cadd9) hard to handle, I (G) have no skills.

(Cadd9) Let it (G) be, (Cadd9) just let (G) go.

Mm-mm ... (Cadd9/G 2x)

Chorus: (G) How do they (Cadd9) live, how do they go (G) on
whose love is (Cadd9) lonely, how do they go (G) on?
No hope to (Cadd9) even get one simple (G) glaance, 
no hope to (Em) have a (Cadd9) tiny-tiny change.

2. (Em) I dont´t (Cadd9) blame you, (G) not any(D)more.
(Em) Can´t change your (Cadd9) soul, (G) not any(D)more.
The (Cadd9) ribbons teared from my (G) wedding dress
(Cadd9) flew away, I´m (G) more than less.

Mmm-mm
(Cadd9) Just keep (G) going, (Cadd9) just let it (G) be.
(Cadd9) Easy to (G) say, but it´s (Cadd9) not really (G).

Mm-mm.

CHORUS: (G) How do they (Cadd9) live, how do they go (G) on
whose love is (Cadd9) lonely, how do they go (G) on?
No hope to (Cadd9) even get one simple (G) glaance, 
no hope to (Em) have a (Cadd9) tiny-tiny change.

Chorus: 2. time
End:  love (Em) always has a (Cadd9) tiny-tiny chance.

Bye-bye, Lullaby

"The World So Big" - my friend who travels around the world daily, said once that the world is so small. Starting in the morning you can be other said of the world for the evening.
True. 
I was thinking if you travel whole life looking for happiness, then only thing you really need is LOVE, someone close to you.

The World So Big

Chorus:
The world is so big. You can go wherever you want.
And all the Universe is there in front of you.

The World So Big

(Verse 1)
I found myself on an unnamed path,
The cliffs whispered riddles that the wind laughed past.
A guide appeared, though I never saw his face,
Only his voice, like tides pulling me into place.

He said, "The work begins not with answers sought,
But in the quiet places where you think you're lost."
At the edge of the world, by a cove long gone,
I took the first step as the night pressed on.

(Chorus)
It’s a climb with no summit, a mirror with no frame,
A question unanswered, always the same.
Through failures that beckon, through shadows that call,
The work isn’t rising—it’s learning to fall.

(Verse 2)
By the mines of Porthcurno, where the sun sets late,
I followed a trail carved by silence and fate.
He said, "Every ladder will lead to the ground,
Each step a circle that must turn back around."

The mirror reflected what I couldn’t yet see,
Not who I was, but what I could be.
The abyss stared back with its hollow gaze,
And I felt the work in the slowest of days.

(Chorus)
It’s a climb with no summit, a mirror with no frame,
A question unanswered, always the same.
Through failures that beckon, through shadows that call,
The work isn’t rising—it’s learning to fall.

(Bridge)
At the Lizard’s edge, the ocean held its breath,
A space between moments, a glimpse beyond death.
He said, "In falling, you find what holds you inside,
In breaking apart, the pieces collide."

(Chorus)
It’s a climb with no summit, a mirror with no frame,
A question unanswered, always the same.
Through failures that beckon, through shadows that call,
The work isn’t rising—it’s learning to fall.

(Outro)
The guide faded, like mist on the shore,
His words remained, though I heard them no more.
I stood at the edge where beginnings unfold,
And knew that the work was in what I could hold.

The Work

Marriage - long time desicions. But pair is stronger than one.
Inspired by my friends married 25 years.

Chorus

Dream-life

"쉬어가라고 쉽게 말하지…
휴식이 손에 잡히는 것처럼.
하지만 세상을 짊어진다면,
어디에 내려놓을 수 있을까?"

알람 울려, 눈은 따끔, 또 같은 하루 시작,
거울 속 낯선 얼굴, 난 언제 사라졌나.
숨 쉬듯이 반복되는 익숙한 연극,
가면 뒤의 진짜 나는 어디쯤일까.

마감선은 지뢰밭, 조심조심 걸어가,
그어진 선 따라 뛰어가도 끝이 안 보여.
"열심히 해, 강해져야 해" 새겨진 말들,
하지만 무너진 다음 다시 시작하는 법은 안 배웠어.

무게가 커도 난 버티겠지 (Even when the weight grows, I'll endure)
짓눌려도 내 길을 찾겠지 (Even if I’m crushed, I’ll find my way)
바람이 불어도 흔들리지 않아 (Even if the wind blows, I won’t shake)
무너져도 다시 일어나 (Even if I fall, I'll rise again)

신호등 불빛이 내 선택을 조롱해,
길은 다 똑같은데 왜 선택권이 있대?
형식적인 대화, 공허한 눈빛 속에
몸은 여기 있어도 내 마음은 떠나있네.

끝없는 소음 속에 기대가 내 목을 조여,
어릴 적 꿈들은 빗속에 속삭이듯 멀어져.
앞으로 가야만 해, 누구도 뒤를 안 봐,
넘어진 순간엔 아무도 찾지 않잖아.

책장을 넘겨도 같은 페이지뿐이야,
아픔을 다시 써보려 해도 잉크가 말라가.
"잠깐 쉬어"라지만 시간은 기다리지 않고,
놓쳐버린 순간은 다시 오지 않아.

무게가 커도 난 버티겠지 (Even when the weight grows, I'll endure)
짓눌려도 내 길을 찾겠지 (Even if I’m crushed, I’ll find my way)
멈추지 않아, 끝이 아닐 테니까 (I won’t stop, this won’t be the end)
내 속의 빛이 아직 살아 있으니까 (Because the light inside me is still alive)

어쩌면 난 이 무게를 짊어질 필요 없었을지도,
어쩌면 강함이란 버티는 게 아니라 놓는 걸지도.
넘어지는 게 실패가 아니라면,
멈춰 서는 게 더 무서운 건지도 몰라.

"그냥 내려놓으라고 쉽게 말하지…
말한다고 해서 이 무게가 사라지는 게 아닌데.
어쩌면... 애초에 짊어질 필요가 없었던 걸지도."

"They say, ‘just take a break,’ so easily…
Like rest is something you can hold in your hands.
But when you carry the world on your shoulders,
where do you put it down?"

Alarm rings, eyes sting, another day begins the same,
A stranger stares back in the mirror—when did I fade away?
Breathing through the motions of a well-rehearsed act,
But where is the real me behind the mask?

Deadlines are landmines, I tread carefully ahead,
Chasing a future already drawn in white thread.
"Work hard, be strong"—the words carved into my skin,
But no one taught me how to start again when I cave in.

Even when the weight grows, I'll endure
Even if I’m crushed, I’ll find my way
Even if the wind blows, I won’t shake
Even if I fall, I'll rise again

Traffic lights blink, mocking every choice I make,
Every road looks the same—so why call it fate?
Small talk, empty stares, words that carry no sound,
My body’s here, but my mind’s nowhere to be found.

Drowning in noise, expectations tightening their chains,
Every childhood dream now whispers in the rain.
Keep moving forward—because they love a steady climb,
But nobody watches when you fall behind.

Pages turn, but the story stays the same,
Running out of ink, trying to rewrite the pain.
They say, “Rest a while,” but this world doesn’t wait,
And I don’t have time to let it slip away.

Even when the weight grows, I'll endure
Even if I’m crushed, I’ll find my way
I won’t stop, this won’t be the end
Because the light inside me is still alive

Maybe I was never meant to carry all this weight,
Maybe strength isn’t bearing it, but learning to let it fade.
Maybe falling isn’t failure,
Maybe standing still is worse.

"They say, ‘just let go,’ like it’s that simple…
Like saying the words makes the weight disappear.
But maybe… I never needed to carry it at all."
