Invincible Review

Sunflowers

Introduction in English:
A few years ago, one of my best friends almost died as a result of his alcohol addiction. One autumn day, almost exactly 20 years ago, I wanted to visit him in his small Berlin apartment, because I had not been able to reach him by phone for days and he did not respond to my mails. I was very worried about him. 
Since the door was open, I was able to get into his apartment, which was completely devastated and partly badly damaged. 
As I heard later, he had gone completely crazy after a repeated alcoholic excess. Neighbors had called the police, who then took him to the closed psychiatric ward. 
This low point in his life also meant a decisive turning point for him. Since that day, he has remained sober and has not touched a drop of alcohol. 
During one of our musical jam sessions this year, he asked me to write a song that would help him to better understand this time of self-destruction and to integrate it more into his life story. 
The result is this song "Naked".....  

Lyrics in English

Naked

Almost like broken glass
The curtain grayed and already wet

The door to the entrance bent

Under the brass knuckles completely naked

Your table is painted black with pitch
Your Fender paid with life

On the floor badly injured guitars

Under the scream of rage only naked

The walls you have smeared with the signs of war
In a drug rush you sensed diabolic forces in you

You pulled the plug on yourself 
Betrayed your loving side

Entered the Thanatos carpet
Succumbed to the temptation to kill

Set the lights to night
Have bequeathed yourself as a victim

The world disgust has grabbed you 
Under the hatred unprotected naked

The hinges of your cabinets are shattered
Your sink is rusting silently

From the sofa the wool pushes itself

The light bulb shimmers completely naked

Your umbrella is overstretched
Food scraps stick to the edge of your plate

In your folders like weeds papers
In the entrance the rats already are on lookout

You have put the cloak of darkness all around you
Got excited by the thrill of wanting to destroy

You pulled the plug on yourself 
Betrayed your loving side

Entered the Thanatos carpet
Succumbed to the temptation to kill

Set the lights to night
Have bequeathed yourself as a victim

The world disgust has grabbed you 
Under the hatred unprotected 
naked, naked, naked!


Deutscher Originaltext:

Nackt

Fast wie zerbrochenes Glas
Der Vorhang ergraut und schon nass

Die Türe zum Eingang verbogen

Unter dem Schlagring ganz nackt

Dein Tisch ist mit Pech schwarz bemalt
Deine Fender hat mit dem Leben bezahlt

Am Boden schwer verletzte Gitarren

Unter dem Wutschrei nur nackt

Die Wände hast Du mit den Zeichen des Krieges beschmiert
Im Drogenrausch diabolische Kräfte in Dir aufgespürt

Hast Dir den Stecker gezogen 
Deine liebende Seite betrogen

Den Thanatos-Teppich betreten
Bist der Verführung zu töten erlegen

Stelltest die Lichter auf Nacht
Hast Dich als Opfer vermacht

Der Weltekel hat Dich gepackt 
Unter dem Hass schutzlos nackt

Die Scharniere Deiner Schränke zerborsten
Deine Spüle ist stumm am verrosten

Aus dem Sofa drängt sich die Wolle

Die Glühbirne schimmert ganz nackt

Dein Regenschirm ist überspannt
Essensreste kleben am Tellerrand

In Deinen Ordnern wie Unkraut Papiere
Im Eingang stehen die Ratten schon Schmiere

Hast Dir den Mantel der Dunkelheit ganz umgelegt
Hast Dich am Kick des Zerstören wollens erregt

Hast Dir den Stecker gezogen 
Deine liebende Seite betrogen

DenThanatos-Teppich betreten
Bist der Verführung zu töten erlegen

Stelltest die Lichter auf Nacht
Hast Dich als Opfer vermacht

Der Weltekel hat Dich gepackt 
Unter dem Hass schutzlos 
nackt, nackt, nackt!

Nackt (Naked)

TAYLOW Ft. RUMELI -  On Them Roads

Again and again I have to painfully observe that women who want to live their own potentials, their autonomy, their creativity or other strengths, are discriminated against in a concealed or sometimes blatant way. In spite of the important feminist-emancipatory movements, especially in the last 50 years, in many areas of life the classical division of roles - men make the rational, women the emotional labor - still exists. Women who want to free themselves from these rigid role attributions are no longer burned at the stake, as they were in the Middle Age (and some women into the late 19th century!). However, they are often “removed” verbally or physically in other, more perfidious ways. 
This song is a blazing plea for a really profound change in social conditions, which not only offer a few exceptions, but basically women the possibility to find their own autonomous strength.     
And it is also a song for my wife, who is a very strong woman and who is repeatedly attacked for her courage, clarity, inventiveness and assertiveness. 
And it is my deep musical bow to Hypatia of Alexandria, Hildegard von Bingen, Émilie du Châtelet, Mary Wollstonecraft, Simone Weil, Harriet Taylor Mill, Hannah Arendt, Simone de Beauvoir, Donna Haraway, Judith Butler and other great thinkers for achieving the goal of "equality and dignity for all people".


Lyrics in English:

Strong Women

So often burned
Banished to islands
Gladly misjudged as poisonous snakes
Still not recognized today

Are very wise and self-confident
Full of self-will and joie de vivre
Are the weak man's constant frustration

If they ever want to go upstairs
The repression gets under way
Embarrass, ostracize, paralyze them, till they leave

Hey, strong women come out
Put out the men's straw fires
Yes, I love you all

The Middle Age is still there
Seems so distant, but is so close
Subtle strong women are still in danger of death

I may be a man, but I'm also a woman
Strong women know that very well
The lie of "man" and "woman" is something they've long seen through

Often have the big ideas
But the men become luminaries
The "Adams" leave them in kitchen handcuffs

Hey, strong women come out
Put out the men's straw fires
Yes, I love you all.

Outro:

Hey, I love you all...
Please come out...

Deutscher Originaltext:

Starke Frauen

So oft verbrannt
Auf Inseln verbannt
Gerne als Giftschlangen verkannt
Bis heute noch nicht anerkannt

Sind sehr klug und selbstbewußt
Voller Eigenwillen und Lebenslust
Sind des schwachen Mannes Dauerfrust

Wenn Sie mal nach oben wollen
Kommt die Repression ins Rollen
Beschämen, verfemen, lähmen, bis sie gehen

Hey, starke Frauen kommt heraus
Macht die Männer-Strohfeuer aus
Ja, ich lieb` Euch alle

Das Mittelalter ist noch da
Scheint so fern, doch ist ganz nah
Subtil sind starke Frauen noch immer in Lebensgefahr

Bin zwar ein Mann, doch zugleich ne` Frau
Starke Frauen wissen das ganz genau
Die Lüge von “Mann” und “Frau” ham`se` längst durchschaut

Haben oft die großen Ideen
Doch die Männer werden zu Koryphäen
Die “Adams” lassen sie in Küchen-Handschellen stehen

Hey, starke Frauen kommt heraus
Macht die Männer-Strohfeuer aus
Ja, ich lieb` Euch alle

Outro:

Ich lieb` Euch alle…
Bitte kommt heraus
