Love Songs

I don't understand
The words they say in love songs
Oh it would be grand 
If I could write my own ones
So I desperately try 
to catch someones eye
Someone throw me a bone
I'm tired of being alone 

Oh I don't understand those love songs
So - they think that I'm
Too restless for my own good
And they say that I'm
Not doing things that I should
Everyone is grown
and I'm sitting alone

I look away instead
when they're tilting their heads
Oh I can’t help that I don't get those love songs
Some songs have no words
Some words have no song  
But I just keep on humming along

I don’t understand
The words they say in love songs
There's too much to be paid
For my foolish mistakes
For the illusions I've made
A hopeless love parade
Oh I’m better off on my own

Love Songs

Red Hair

Who are you now?
I was wondering
if you still pretend?
Where are you now?
Off to Rome again
for some "opening"?

Are you happy over there
in your Cabaret Voltaire
in the vintage shoes you wear?

So - tell me now?
Have you found it yet
what the tarots said?
Am I - one of them now?
Who gets you off the track
and holds you back? 

You built your character around illusions
Your horse is riding high above the clouds
You play it well but I can tell - 
the girl you truly are

Make sure that you stand out
Careful what you wear
with your red hair 
You're good at hiding
behind some fancy quote
no one knows

But why keep being proud
with all this undone work around? 
Are you scared it won’t work out?

You built your character around illusions
Your horse is riding high above the clouds
You fool them all but do they know -
You learned your lines by heart
That you only play a part
But not the girl you truly are

Where are you now?
I was wondering
are you still running?

Change of Frame

This is a very pessimistic point of view
I guess that's an effect that distance has on you 
Don't know if they'll come true 
These dreams I made of you
A hundred flames or so were hanging from the sun
And their shadows led to you
But... 

Will we lose the picture 
when we change the frame?
When colours are different
will we stay the same?
If I brought you to the gray
would your colours fade away?

Is this a scenery that you would fit into?
Cause over here it's all a darker shade of blue 
I got ideas of you 
Scared that they might come true
Prepare myself for the worst case scenario  
Was it too good to be true?

Will we lose the picture 
when we change the frame?
When colours are different
will we stay the same?
If I brought you to the gray
would your colours fade away?

These feelings that ignite
Seen in a different light
I'm scared that they just might come off
Under a different moon
The sweeter half of June
What will I think of you? 

Will we lose the picture 
when we change the frame?
When colours are different
will we stay the same?
If I brought you to the gray
would you colours fade  away?

Change Of Frame

White Flag

My young heart is never resting
Always asking a new question 
Roaming in the night for an answer
Hoping I will find an anchor

I've been lost from course for so long
Loneliness has been my one song
Stubbornness has been a pattern 
But in the dark I see your lantern

Before you came around
Love was a battle ground
I thought I’ll fight alone
But you have proved me wrong
Cause, see my white flag

Fear of missing out on something
Chasing shadows - all for nothing
Been too proud and don't I know it
I'm a fool and don't I show it

Solitude has been my one friend
Hard to trust - I'm so uncertain
Why so hard to surrender
to someone so sweet and tender?

Before you came around
Love was a battle ground
I thought I’ll fight alone
But you have proved me wrong
Cause, see my white flag

My hands are up
I'm on my knees
Letting go of uncertainties
I'm letting go, I'm giving in
I'm all yours 
I'll let you win

Before you came around
Love was a battle ground
I thought I’ll fight alone
But you have proved me wrong
Cause, see my white flag

Black For The Occasion

I'm wearing black for the occasion
Bells are chiming from afar
I made such beautiful arrangements
The end is about to start

I sent myself an invitation
And chose the flowers for it all
I made the needed preparation
Performed the ritual

I put lilies on my side
Like a new day I will rise
So long
Time to say goodbye 
Free that part inside
of me I had to hide
for so long
I place silver on my eyes

I'm wearing black for the occasion
You won’t see sorrow in my eyes
It is a sort of celebration 
The clouds have left the sky

I had this beautiful revelation
Of someone I forgot to be
This shadow that I have been embracing 
I had to lay to peace 

I put lilies on my side
Like a new day I will rise
So long
Time to say goodbye 
Free that part inside
Of me I had to hide
for so long
I put silver on my eyes


Black For The Occasion

Remember Me

Do you remember me
and the toast we once shared
Neverminding
the taste of salt from our tears
Do you remember me
thinking we'll die alone
But now you've found a home
someone to call your own
Please remember me

I remember you
and the boat we once steered
Through the tidal waves
though we never got scared
I remember you
always looking for land
no helping hand
oh, wasn't it grand?
I remember you

Do you remember me
Oh it's been so many years
A sense of loneliness
Tell me do you even care
Do you remember me
Even though you've moved on
But when nights are long
and you're all alone
Please remember me

Remember Me

Flower On Your Grave

My words are flowers laid upon your grave
And I know they will fade away
But my chest seems to have lost 
its heavy weight

My born affection and unrequited love
Was yours without a fight or pay
Made to heal your broken heart
But that love you pushed away

I wear black to show that I grieve for you
Looking back all I wished was some love from you
But you look away 
You never change - you just stay
And here’s another autumn on its way

Your mirrors covered and you stopped your clock
Your heart is sealed and locked away
Your tomb is covered with a rock
and your fate you have engraved

My words are flowers laid upon your grave
And I know they will fade away
I can’t waste more time to cry
I must say goodbye

I wear black to show that I grieve for you
Looking back all I wished was some love from you
But you look away  
You never change-  you just stay
And here’s another autumn on its way
