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

A Big Thank You to  https://soundcloud.com/joerxworx?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing  for the wonderful Flugelhorn, drums and mixing, a great pleasure to collab…

Antonin Artaud (1896-1948) was a French writer, poet, draughtsman, actor, dramaturge and theatre theorist

The picture shows an excerpt of one of his drawings

Please, if you like, take also a listen to the remix by  https://soundcloud.com/33per/artuad?si=17522a37f7564140bcd237b9b3baa986&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

By sheer accident I came across this small and riveting book by Stephen Barber, that was recently published by Diaphanes. It is called "A Sinister Assassin". It provides translations of Antonin Artaud's last writings (September 1947 - March 1948)

The following text is the last entry in his notebook:






so, the same figure
returns every 
morning (he is an other)
in order to accomplish his 
	revolting, criminal 
	and murderous, sinister 
	mission which is to 
	maintain
the state of bewitchment cast upon
me  (2)

and continue to
make of me
this eternally
bewitched man
		etc etc (2)

The Last Note Of Antonin Artaud (collab with joerxworx)

This track is a collaboration with Xian3.https://on.soundcloud.com/1HnJ4 I added arrangements to his original melody. Xian3 is German, but in a different context, the word "Xian" evokes Chinese Buddhism. The artwork is from China, depicting a serene figure sitting calmly within a cave in the recesses of a cliff. This resonates with the lyrics of the song.


'A Cave And A Cliff'

Please don’t find me a way out of this cave
I’ve been sitting here for so long
Watching the shades
Moving so desperately on
Sometimes I fear
One day they might be gone

Cliffhanging from one adventure into another
Tomorrow I will have to get up again
Back into my reality
It’s everyday the same

Please don’t close the curtain
I haven’t seen enough, for certain
At least i would like to know
How it goes on
A question that
I keep hanging on

Cliffhanging from one adventure into another
Tomorrow I will have to get up again
Back into my reality
It’s everyday the same
It’s insane…

Should I go to bed and get a good sleep
or pop a few caps and freak some funk over beats?
We do it for ourselves to satiate needs.
After all, it's in our blood. With our cuts, hear us bleed.
Close your eyes, feel the groove, hear the words that we speak.
We must, to survive, just as some have to breathe.
Here we are. This is us. You are you. We are we.
So, why must we hide in 'reality'?

What is your 'reality'?
Is it some facade for others to see?
And has this become your identity?
And, if so, with yourself, how the fuck can you sleep?
I have no respect for the words that you speak
or how you could hide behind church or belief.
I know in your mind you're doing 'His' deeds.
But OUR God is NOT a white man full of greed.

So, come check my Reality.
I live with a wife of exquisite beauty
who stimulates my mind with each word that she speaks
and has carried and birthed us lovely children. Three.
We are both professionals and have our degrees
and understand value and living by means.
Yet somehow we struggle to pay mortgage and eat
while those who exploit keep on livin' with ease.

lyrics/vocals by Xian3








The picture shows a detail out of „Guernica“ (1937, oil on canvas) by Pablo Picasso (1881-1973)


The Mare


1

Guernica, the holy city of the Basques, 

Is located east of Bilbao in northern Spain.

It became known worldwide when it was

Attacked by german and italian fighter planes 


More than 85 ys ago

During the Spanish Civil War 

Bombed the city into rubbles and ashes

And everyone else who lived there before


Guernica, one of the first airborne bombardments 

Aiming to eradicate civilians and other innocents


2

There`s no color, there’s no depth 

And for sure there’s no relief 

From your point of view


It’s monochrome and cubistic,

It makes your stomach tighten up,

When you think about everything that's happened ever since then and, 

Above all,

What is yet to come ?

What’s next upon the sleeve ?


3

There is a long and 

Pointed, deadly spear 

Piercing right through the chest

That’s like a manifest 


Just look into the frantic eyes of the dying horse

And you know and feel immediately, what’s goin’ on

It makes one wonder who the hell is comitting thus 

And for fucks sake what is basically wrong with us 


There`s no color, there’s no depth 

And for sure there’s no relief 

From your point of view

No matter what point you may choose


Will the victors again 

be writing down the history ?

It was the victors backthen,

Who wrote down history long ago.

Backstroke

I dived in another world
I turned my back to the earth
I turned away from the world
And my hair was no longer curled

And i go -
Breast stroke
Taking a bath in history
Admiring architectional marvels
Down in the lower basin
Where the great arc spans
Architects had later different plans
The whole situation was a pity (2)

I woke up in another world
I floated in another world
I woke up as an other girl
and my hair was no longer curled

And i go -
Backstroke
Taking a bath in the past
Admiring archetypical marvels
Down in the lower basement
Where the great arc spans
Still felt the touch of the tiling hands
The whole situation was a pity (2

Backstroke (feat. Xian3)
