Lyrics:
Last week I went and saw a psychic
Not because I really believe in magic 
I just wanted to hear that I could be happy
She said I was damned, it was $5 for a reading
(Cash or credit?)

Long gone are the dreams
And the healing
Lost my imagination
Now it's the treason
Playing the victim
Self-destruction at its finest

I’m so sick of myself
But I don't wanna deal with it
I can't burn in this hell 'cause 
I'm already at the bottom of the deep end
I think I'm losing myself
Can't recognise who I am
Won't catch me turn around
'Cause I can't face the stranger in the mirror

My older brother lives in glamor
He's a criminal defence and naval lawyer
They say don't succumb to societal pressure
I can't help but feel like a failure (Ugh)

Long gone are the hopes
And the growing
A healthy way of coping
Now it's the hoaxing
Taunting the broken
Self-destruction at its finest

I’m so sick of myself
But I don't wanna deal with it
I can't burn in this hell 'cause 
I'm already at the bottom of the deep end
I think I'm losing myself
Can't recognise who I am
Won't catch me turn around
'Cause I can't face the stranger in the mirror

My baby kept our love a secret
I told him it's fine, it's just you and me but
Turns out I wasn't the only person
If only I was a better person
I'm so sick of my

I’m so sick of myself (So sick of myself)
But I don't wanna deal with it
I can't burn in this hell 'cause 
I'm already at the bottom of the deep end
I think I'm losing myself (I'm losing myself)
Can't recognise who I am
Won't catch me turn around
'Cause I can't face myself

I tell myself never again, again, again, again, again
But I do it again, again, again, again, again
I tell myself never again, again, again, again, again
But I do it again
And again
And again
Stranger in the mirror

STRANGER

Overthinking

Getragen von einem wunderbaren Arrangement, im Refrain komplettiert mit tollen Vocals und gezeichnet durch ein herausragendes Saxophon führt uns die Stimme von A.HerrMann durch ein Lied über und aus dem Meer. 
Das Meer, dass uns das Leben gebracht hat und es uns auch jeder Zeit wieder nehmen kann. Beobachtend und abwartend, ob der Mensch wohl doch noch die Kurve kriegt. Keine Ballade und auch kein Shanty. Eher der Song eines Liedermachers.

So Viel Mehr - Als Meer
