we're flying in we're flying out of space
and photograph the mass of basket cases
there'll be no peace, their killing captain Kirk
and there’s more shit that makes me go

berserk bay berserk a whackjob brain 
berserk bay I go insane

the borders boundered by the tape that’s red
it contradicts the words that Judy said
this contract made I say a piece of work
it’s just more shit that makes me go

berserk

my eyes tear up in need of rest, 
morphois' land 's horizonless
I'm kidnapped by a thousand thoughts
take orders that my soul reports
my limbs they slack and paralyse,
omniscient minds must sacrifice
prepare themselves to reinvent
and understand why I've been sent

dream on, at lest you cup is filled with air
dream on, it’s no ones right to keep you down
dream on, 'cause limits just a word they say 
to keep you down

great souls and minds have always had 
ambitioned visions in their heads
while others shook their heads and said
“can't cross a traffic light that’s red”
but they marched on and led the way
shaped future out of yesterday

dream on

so I turn away from grounds, where lands colliding interests inspect
each and every single step and corner where your lonely feet might step
I burned my fingers as a boy, but couldn’t stop to play with fire
now you tell me who will sell, and whose gonna be the buyer?
so I sow these seeds to save the future me, whose gonna ruin even more
deciphering the spellbound king, whose gonna rise and shout his mighty roar
I fear no vengeance on his terms, I always kept the link alive
I'll spread my chest for consequence and I will wait 'till you arrive  

a story’s untold 'till both sides get their say

a man can tell his story well, but must provide
now tell me who will sell, and who is gonna buy?

so I prepare to share my insights to clouds resembling your face
I spend a life time wondering which one of you is the purest
I change the rhythm of my sleep 'cause I just simply can’t get tired
now you tell me who is gonna sell and whose gonna be the buyer

the buyer

I’m glidin' on a cherry snowflake
right into a banana-nuts-shake
vomitin’ a rainbow in a shower of joy
walkin' on clouds like a golden boy
somthin' puts a big smile on my face
don’t wanna be in any other place
in moods like this, I know life’s just a ride
if you take it to seriously you can’t stop to fight

so I keep dancin’ with the angels, havin' fun
relaxin’ in my happy place, enjoying the sun
still being overwhelmed by how much there is to gain
I stopped being afraid by hungin' my pain

Mesdames et messieurs, les jeunes et les vieux
C'est tard à cette heure que je vous présente mon cœur 
Pour comprendre bien ce que je veux vous dire 
J'ai écrit une chanson vous ne devez parire

La vie est trop courte pour se trop disputer
La paix et l'amour, c'est la priorité
La nature nous regarde et elle est tres décue
Ca ne lui plait rien, les choses qu'elle a vues

Et les politiciens, ils veulent et il mentent
 Ils achètent ton âme et tes idéaux, ils sont morts
Regardez, ils manipulent la réalité
Et nos vies simples, ils les ont faites compliquées

C'est un appel  à tout le monde:
Reveillez-vous!
Cette chanson ceci, c'est seulement le debut!
Seulement le debut!

lookin' at life through a barbwired fence
divide us in two when we all could be friends
preachin' 'bout peace but tear a hole in the clouds
they sharpen their knife but dance for the crowd

lookin' at life through the eyes of a few
the bold eagle's peggin' and considerin' you
polyethylene in our honey and milk
their doll mines look pretty all dressed up in pink

don't try to save us 
your shinin' birds should know
and don't try to tame us
i can't wait to see you go
don't trust their pages demagolinguistic spell
can not behave us
our land ain't yours to sell

I wanna pray but I don't know to wich lord
preachers tell me that heaven I can't afford
but if their preachings made any sense
we wouldn't have this barbwired fence
beware  the line that you must never cross
beware  the other side is so dangerous
'cause our former friends have now become
the ones who beat the wardrum song


barbwired fence

I was always on the spot
she blazed a fire burning hot

so she tied me to the kitchen chair
I screamed so loud she didn't care
whisperin' secrets, the sent of her hair
ambrosia I'm into your cure

on the spot

money spent on war and guns,
yeah, so few rights, so many wrongs
as scientists build bigger bombs
kids in their teens are drivin' tanks

sweatshop work, no time to play
you want cheap clothes, now don't complain
just-earn some food for this one day
flush it down, it's time to drain
they would but cannot run away
no healthcare ain't out for the bait
where to run to anyway
it's half past 12 it's way to late

they sit in a circle, in comfy leather chairs
the war was never ours, it was always theirs

what they build up, we come destroy
we shoot our guns as if they were toys
we can not stop, we'd be unemployed
just silent our conscience's voice

we make war to protect the peace
of our homes and our BBQs
missiles spread democracy
Jacky Coke puts minds at ease 
protecting our heads overseas
protecting our hypocracys
in public we pray on our knees
and sing the mortals symphony

always just another day, another day goes by

mortals  symphony

confused and boozed, I used the snooze,
full ashtray, mind’s away, obey, just one more day
one more drift to noir, stay or take the door
got ahead, maybe drop dead, feelin’ sad like your dad

get a griphold like you've been told, take the gold while getting bold
do the math and choose the path, take a bath, stay deaf
see TV, be the productivity, boringly needy, informingly idiocrazy
cut the drinkin’ start thinkin', cut the drinkin' start thinkin'

one more drift to noir

run to the dark side
I can not run away

the more I look
the less I see
the more I search
the less I'm free
the more I talk    
the less I speak
the more I find 
the more I seek
the more they teach
the less I know
let all clouds rain
let all winds blow
please make me wet
oh pouring rain
I'm one with you 
I've gone insane

drift to noir

robbin' a bank is easy, it's about getting away
the sergeant and I play chitchat - and they say “the chopper's on its way”
so fly me across the border - I'll by a new identity
I'll pay y'all a round Coralejo - as I strip Mary naked in the hay

it's about gettin' away
I wanna rob a bank

robbin' a bank is easy - I saw it in the news just yesterday
the good guys dug a tunnel and a lot of cops got lead astray
anonymous hoods will be robbin', all the banks that's what the papers say 
cause robbin' a bank is easy, it´s about gettin' away

I don't care
reject my despair
rob this bank
and fly me away

robbin' a bank

smile
	
I'm drinking double, head's on the table
I'm drowning and wasting my time in this bar
knee deep in rubble, waken unable
but then you walk on right in through that door

no need for history reports, yeah football's still my favourite sports
I like the way you style your hair - so much longer than before
my pointy finger won't face you - I realize I fucked up too
but people grow and learn in that’s fine,- we’ll take it slow one step a time

I wanna be a better man 
I’ll rearrange the master plan
if I don’t try than I’ll be 
damned I’ll try
to make you smile

and you smile - yeah you smile
smile, smile smile

it sometimes takes a, giant mistake to
to realize the cries of your desire	
the earth is quaking, the snow keeps flaking  
but us two - no we've never flown any higher…

you ask me what I wanna do, well first I'll make sweet love to you
we lie in bed an endless while and I’ll sing you a song to make you smile
my stacks my heart I'll push all in, this is a game we both will win
I'll kiss the goose bumps on your neck, let our two shadows reconnect

smile

maybe you have to die in a certain way
sacrifice comfort to arrive at this bay
to awaken the canvas and to colour the grey
something to leave behind a footprint to stay

we´re talking bout rebels and stealing their horses
we´re trying to save them but can´t trust our sources
and rainbows and ribbons are our childhood losses 

away 

maybe it´s random and someone else´s show
and it´s all just one leap from a common sense No!
and what if you were important after all?
what if you were important afterall, afterall?

a brave heart can overcome all other forces
but standards extortion makes me so exhaused
your books say I´m safe if I just stay indoors far away

your laces they tie me, try force me to stay
your books say I´m safe if I just stay indoors far away

Mellow Diem was founded in April 2012 in Mainz (next to Frankfurt) Germany. On our quest for happiness and meaning we got lost and founded a band instead. In our lyrics we euphemistically interact with today's Zeitgeist, without losing faith in an optimistic approach to life. Our music is a mixture of mainly, however not exclusively, rock and pop. We're an ensemble of 6 musicians/artists all aged between 21 and 27. Every Mellow Man is included in the composing process as well as the song writing. Mellow Diem is more than just a band name: it a a request and a slogan! As everyone is getting more and more wound up in stress and haste, Mellow Diem is supposed to remind us to keep it Mellow. So yeah, keep it mellow.

Mellow Diem
