This song is about how a relationship may breakdown even though the love is still there. Life sometimes doesn't work out quite how we expect.

Lyrics
Have you ever hurt somebody that you really love
Have you ever done something you now regret
Have you spoken words in anger that you wish you’d never said
Words that echo that they never can forget

You send them flowers say you’re sorry
You talk for hours until the evening fades to grey
You both agree to try to put it all behind you
And though you’ll try, life doesn’t always work that way

When you hurt someone its not that easy to get over
Its not that easy to forgive or to forget
Its not that easy to pretend it never happened
You gotta try and hope it works out for the best

You send them flowers say you’re sorry
You talk for hours until the evening fades to grey
You both agree to try to put it all behind you
And when you wake you try to start a brand new day

Break

Now you’re watching everything that you now do and say
It’s not right to have carry on that way
Though you love them something’s different something’s changed
Now you don’t know if you should go or you should stay

You sent them flowers you said you’re sorry
You talked for hours as the evening faded to grey
You both agreed to try to put it all behind you
And though you tried, life doesn’t always work that way

You sent them flowers, you said you’re sorry
You talked for hours as the evening faded to grey
You both agreed to try to put it all behind you
And though you tried life didn’t quite work out that way

Love’s much harder than any words that we can say

Everybody has an inner dark side witch can be sweet sometimes...

My Sweet Darkness 2025 version

When I close my eyes I'm on a lazy river in Las Vegas  -a LOve sOng

This is not just a song. This is a chapter.

The lyrics for this track are taken from a key scene in the unpublished novel "Hinter uns das Land" (The Land Behind Us). It tells the raw, unfiltered story of a young German refugee's "homecoming" in 1948 – not to a welcoming fatherland, but to a landscape of destroyed train stations, bureaucratic coldness, and the quiet, heartbreaking moment a lifelong dream is shattered by a single piece of paper.

Musically, this piece is a fusion of melancholic jazz, blues, and deep, weary spoken-word verses, creating a cinematic, "film noir" atmosphere for this tale of disillusionment.

This is the sound of a generation arriving home, only to find they are more lost than ever before.

Das ist nicht nur ein Song. Das ist ein Kapitel.

Der Text für diesen Track wurde aus einer Schlüsselszene des unveröffentlichten Romans "Hinter uns das Land" übernommen. Er erzählt die rohe, ungefilterte Geschichte der "Heimkehr" einer jungen deutschen Vertriebenen im Jahr 1948 – nicht in ein willkommen heißendes Vaterland, sondern in eine Landschaft aus zerstörten Bahnhöfen, bürokratischer Kälte und dem leisen, herzzerreißenden Moment, in dem ein Lebenstraum durch ein einziges Stück Papier zerstört wird.

Musikalisch ist dieses Stück eine Fusion aus melancholischem Jazz, Blues und tiefen, müden Spoken-Word-Strophen, die eine cineastische "Film Noir"-Atmosphäre für diese Geschichte der Desillusionierung schafft.

Das ist der Klang einer Generation, die nach Hause kommt, nur um festzustellen, dass sie verlorener ist als je zuvor.

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
Same bed, same room,
But I don’t feel you move.
Eyes wide, your back turned,
Love fades, we don’t learn.

[Chorus]
Half a heart away,
But miles in between.
Too quiet to fight,
Too loud to dream.
You stay,
But you’re half a heart away.

[Verse 2]
Hands close, no touch,
We don’t talk that much.
Used to burn so bright,
Now we hide from the light.

[Chorus]
Half a heart away,
But I still pretend.
Too tired to leave,
Too far to mend.
You stay,
But you’re half a heart away.

[Bridge]
Don’t know who gave in first,
But we made it worse.
Don’t know what it means to be
all alone without you and me.

[Final Chorus]
Half a heart away,
Still lying side by side.
No fire, no flame,
Just the slow goodbye.
You stay,
But you’re half a heart away.

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Guess we’re close enough to stay...
But still half a heart away.

Half A Heart Away
