Lyrics:
Oh Boy - Addicted

You brought me a bunch of flowers
To show sorry for what you said
Frankly spoken you broke my heart instead 
Your blindness is overwhelming!

The next day you promised you will change
To beg finally my parden
Frankly spoken you disappointed me
The bunch of flowers came from my garden

Not in one hundred years
And if you cry one thousand tears
I will not let you in again

You pelt me with hundreds of messages
To explain my misconception
Frankly spoken I did not read one of them
Nor will I pay your bills again

Now a month has passed bye
And I did not hear from you
Frankly spoken I long for you
I never ment to hurt you so

And if I wait a hundred years
And if I cry a thousand tears
I hope to see you again

"Oh Boy" feat. Xian3 & Jf

Turn your back

You stare back, a moment in time, just a moment of hesitation. Was that all, you think.
You turn around and continue your way. Ten miles you may go, just straight, just walking. Walk your thoughts away…
But you can’t they are faster as you could walk.
Years, boy, years, and of them a lot - passed by. 
Years you shared ideas and dreams, that is what you assumed.
But walk on, don’t look back!
There is no one watching out for you
Hoping, that you may come back.
Walk on boy,
Walk on boy,
And suddenly you know it 
You felt this before
One hundred years back in your childhood,
You walked away
Hoping someone will call you back,
Your mother, your father,
But even them…
They did not
They did not!
How you wished, they would have done it
That there would have been love,
But there was not
But there was not
And now, 40 years of hopeless future later,
You walk away,
And no one calls you to turn back…

Turn Your Back!

Fortress

when the night disappeared 
the coming day was different.  
maybe it wasn't clear to you in the morning, 
but with the memory returning, 
the new day became paler and more spent.  

and where once have been green meadows 
now stands a dark fortress  
And I stand there outside, 
failed in the task of protecting you

I know, they are human beings
On the other hand 
Revenge is a human feeling

Now I'm standing here in front of your prison 
trying to convince you to swap places with them 
That they should bear the burden of their deed 
and let you go.  but you dare not do so

So all I have left is hope 
So all I have left is hope 
For you and for you and for you
For me

Lyrics: Franz Kafka

Homecoming is a narrative in the form of a parable from the estate of Franz Kafka. The narrative, which is only twenty sentences long, begins with the words: "I have returned" and occasionally appears under this title, was written down by Kafka in 1920 in a quarto notebook.



I have returned, 
I have passed under the arch and am looking around. 
It’s my father’s old yard. The puddle in the middle. Old, useless tools, jumbled together, 
block the way to the attic stairs. 
The cat lurks on the banister. 
A torn piece of cloth, once twisted around 
a stick in a game, 
flutters in the breeze. 

I have arrived. 
Who is going to receive me? 
Who is waiting behind the kitchen door? 
Smoke is rising from the chimney, 
coffee is being made for diner.

Do you feel you belong, do you feel at home? 
I don’t know, I feel most uncertain.
 
My father’s house it is, 
but each object stands cold beside the next, 
as though preoccupied with its own affairs,
which I have partly forgotten, partly never known.
What use can I be to them, what do I mean to them, even though 
I am the son of my father, 
the old farmer? 
And I don’t dare knock at the kitchen door, 
I only listen from a distance,

I only listen from a distance, 
standing up, in such a way 
that I cannot be taken by surprise as an eavesdropper. 
And since I am listening from a distance, 
I hear nothing but a faint striking of the clock 
passing over from childhood days,

but perhaps I only think I hear it. 
Whatever else is going on in the kitchen 
is the secret of those sitting there, 
a secret they are keeping from me. 
The longer one hesitates before the door, 
the more estranged one becomes. 
What would happen if someone were to open the door now 
and ask me a question? 
Would not I myself then behave like the one 
who wants to keep his secret?”

I have returned („Homecoming“, F.Kafka 1920) feat. Xian3

Dark Fall

on this path i wander through the night
Consumed by thoughts and lost in my mind
But neither stick nor stone
Let me stumble

The woods are deep
And full of living
But not a sound gets to me through 
In my troubled striving

Only my heart's beat
Captures my attention 
And the thousand questions 
Which to answer I’m not prepared

But when the call of an owl echoes
My steady walk becomes a stumble
And only as I fall
I realize the dawn of the morning

Released from the weight of my thoughts
I remain lying in the refreshing damp arbor
Thrown to the ground
But ultimately  -surviving!

Dark Fall

The same Fate

Expressed in principles, 
we all will die one day
so the same fate awaits us all.
However, the conclusions you draw  are quite different from mine.

the way you see people, 
there is nothing loving about it.

I may be bitterly mistaken, but I see good natures.

The same Fate awaits us all
Oh, the same fate awaits us all
This in mind, 
you may understand,

I can't deny anyone 
the rights I claim for myself.

Considering that we are all going to die, I have decided 

to hope for the Good 
to hope for the Best
and to love people,
and to trust in you!

No Ping, No Call

1 
Noone to report to
No Notes to write
Nobody to be filmed 
Inconspiciously with a mobile device
Noone to be observed to
No endless hanging out in the car
With a tele and cigarettes
Not even cuckolded husbands

ref
Walking down Main Str.
Along the shops and cinemas
Stop for an instant
What do they play so far ?  
No pursuit by car

2
Noone to report to
No Notes to write
Nobody to be filmed 
Inconspiciously with a mobile device
Noone to be observed to
No endless hanging out in the car
With coffee and muffins
No cuckolded husbands

Noone to respond to
No Notes to burn
No appartements to enter
No targets to be wired
Or pointed out
No marks and no remarks
Noone to be removed
Inconspiciously with a mobile device

ref
Walking down Main Str.
Along the shops and cinemas
Arrive at the main square
Sittin’ down at a table 
In a cafe bar

3
No pursuit by car,
Not on foot 
Nor by bike
No One-Trick-Pony 
To be applied
Not even the smallest bribery
No neighbourhood in question, 
Which as usual 
knows nothing 
about anything at all
No orders received
No things to do
No message on the prepaid
Now -  think about it,

out 
For quite some time
Nothing at all
No ping, no call…
Been quiet for some time
Nothing at all
No ping, no call…

No Ping, No Call...

Emma

In einer Welt voller Fragen
Lebst du in einem Dilemma, Emma

Dein Herz spielt eine Melodie
Die nach Antworten sucht

Im Labyrinth der Entscheidungen
Zwischen den Zeilen, in denen die Wahrheit verborgen

Refrain:
Im Spiegel der Möglichkeiten siehst du dich an
Der Moment aus Ambivalenz, der durch Dein Leben tanzt
Emma du lebst in einem Dilemma

Zwischen gestern und morgen, verwebt in der Zeit
Emma dein Herz sucht nach Klarheit
Bist du bereit?

Entscheidungen wie Noten, die du spielst
Die Harmonie des Lebens manchmal kalt und distanziert
Im Nebel der Verwirrungen gefangen….Emma
Sehnsucht nach Gewissheit verlangen…Emma

Refrain
Im Spiegel der Möglichkeiten siehst du dich an
Der Moment aus Ambivalenz, der durch Dein Leben tanzt
Emma du lebst in einem Dilemma

Zwischen gestern und morgen, verwebt in der Zeit
Emma dein Herz sucht nach Klarheit
Bist du bereit?

In den Noten deines Dilemmas eine Geschichte bleibt
Zwischen den Zeilen, dieser Symphonie
Ein Text der die Reise durch dein Dilemma beschreibt

Art.Silence, the former GEBR.K, (still not knowing how to call myself) is a Cooperation of the musicians JayK and Xian3. A lot of the Songs here are single Productions of JayK. But you will find especially the classical lyrics projects like Rilke or Goethe stuff realized by JayK and Xian3, there also cooperations with Druid667 and SomeDecibel and other musicians under the label GEBR.K. The common base is JayK.
We are interested in interdisciplinary projects as just sharing music or music-video productions (search GEBR.K on YouTube).
We want to see our music influence the world as their music influenced us:)
Feel free to share our music to others and if you make profit with it, make a share of it to the world!
