Waiting For Winter

Ever come across someone that would stop at nothing just to drag others down to make themselves feel better? I wont be stooping to that level.
This one is for them :) 

What lies within,
You’re always searching for a sin,
To help you win,

It’s just like you, 
Don’t matter what you say or do, 
It’s nothing new,
 
Oh where do we begin, 
I can’t be like you, 
When all the time, 
I always find you look too far within, 
Is now the time?
How am I gonna win?
I won’t let you in

How’s it going to be?
You shoot your arrows right at me, 
And hope I bleed, 

I could aim at you, 
Won’t matter what you say or do?
They won’t get through,

Oh where do I begin, 
I won’t be like you, 
When all the time, 
I always find I look too far within, 
But now’s the time
And I am gonna win
I won’t let you in

Won’t let you in

Won't Let You In (Unplugged)

Long Wave Digital

There's a rare magic here - the kind that makes you close your eyes and smile, knowing something beautiful is about to unfold. Like that perfect moment when the club's energy shifts and everything aligns, it captures that tingling anticipation when the night could go anywhere, and everywhere feels right.

'Picture of You' revolves around creating an idealised image of somebody based on interactions through a phone screen rather than meeting them in person. The idea of a meet cute is ancient history thanks to various dating apps that have become available.

This song acts as a poignant commentary on how digital platforms have transformed the landscape of romance. While they offer new opportunities for connection, they also challenge us to consider the value of authenticity and genuine human interaction in building meaningful relationships.

Picture of You

I don’t think I’ve ever cried this much while making a song. And knowing the story it’s built on? That made it even harder.
See if you can make it to the end without feeling anything.

Earthgirl is about a woman who flees to a small town, carrying the unbearable weight of a past she can’t speak aloud. To outsiders, she seems strange—always tense, private, off-kilter. But what they’re seeing is alienation—an emotional exile she’s built around herself to survive. Underneath it all, she’s running from a relationship marked by stalking, rape, and attempted murder, and the heartbreak of secretly terminating a pregnancy to save her own life and future —on the night of a full moon.

Lyrics:

You bash at the piñata of my mind,
To get the goodies deep inside.
The truth was always hard to find.
considering I always lied.

I'm not an Earthgirl.
I'm not an Earthgirl.
I'm not a nice girl.

I dry my laundry in the rain.
I look away to hide my stain.
You say that everyone's the same.
But no one understands my pain.

They say I came from sky and flame.
That I arrived without a name.
I spoke in rhymes, out of tune.
And wept beneath a cruel moon.

I'm not an Earthgirl.
I'm not an Earthgirl.
An outta this world girl.

The gravity bends my mind,
and the past I try to hide.
My shoes are stitched with luck and wine.
Still I walk, and try to fly.

My brains a box of steel,
It hums to keep me sealed.
I dream in static, sharp and raw,
and my skin starts to crawl.

I'm not an Earthgirl.
I'm not an Earthgirl.

They say I crashed from sky and shame.
A spark that never learned her name.
I blink too slow, I breathe too soon.
I broke my heart beneath the moon.

And Earth is loud and it shakes my bones, and moves too slow.
But I grow limbs that bend.
And I’m not breaking. 
Not again.

I’m not an Earthgirl.
Still not an Earthgirl.
Still not an Earthgirl.

Lyrics:

I don’t wanna think about
What I was back then
I’m a new man now
I’m a better friend

Find me by the reservoir
Humming to myself 
In a quiet thought
In a peaceful spell

Moving on is easy
You’ll be fine, believe it
Your heart is strong, it’s silver
Carry on, forgive her
Forgive her

Sometimes when I fall asleep
I see world war three
I see tidal waves
Crashing over me

Lately I’ve been doing fine
Working on myself
And I scream out loud
When I feel compelled

Moving on is easy
You’ll be fine, believe it
Your heart is strong, it’s silver
Carry on, forgive her
Forgive her

‘Cause a broken heart
Is still a beating heart
Is still a beating heart
Yeah a broken heart
Is still a beating heart
Is still a beating heart

Moving on is easy
You’ll be fine, believe it
Your heart is strong, it’s silver
Carry on, forgive her
Forgive her

forgive

kleiner Prinz ( Deutsch )

Anthea, I’m on the train to see you
And at each stop, the doors flash yellow twice
Might not make it just in time to greet you 
But it’s been so long, you’d only roll your eyes
You wouldn’t mind

Find that bar we liked, and nothing’s missin’
And if it weren’t for birthdays and your bangs
I’d swear for a second, nothing’s different
But you laugh, call me nostalgic, and I am

For coffee on Charles Street
Songs in the dark
And that time I held you while you cried to sleep

You want more to settle for than settling down

Anthea, I hear it when you call me
Your faith, it shakes, it rattles on the phone
You tell me all about the cherry blossoms, not your doubts
But your stubborn pride’s a side I’ve always known 

You swear you won’t become your father,
But his love is steady just like yours
Don’t be ashamed

You want more to settle for than settling down
You want more

Seven thousand miles you put behind you 
And I have borne this town for seven years
Anthea, I know you’re tired of running
To things that, once you get them, disappear
But I’m still here 

You want more to settle for than settling down
You want more to settle for than settling down
(string interlude)
You want more

Anthea, I'm on the train to see you
