The Dirty Nasty Truth

crying wouldn't stop it
even if i had asked 
for a moment's recuperation

you want it and you get it
so you don't want it anymore
i guess i never really learned how to be patient

a celebration so bittersweet
words of closure and empathy
make it sound like a funeral

i turned around to see your face again
for one last time and
tried to find a way to pass time

cause my friends
were my friends
but now they're all your friends
with girlfriends
and boyfriends
so i guess i don't need them
my friends
were my friends
but now they're all your friends
with girlfriends
and boyfriends
so i guess i don't need them

remember when we didn't want to clean our rooms
and now they're empty
i wonder if life ever had rules

i'm too self aware to be okay
i noticed that from the lighting on the stage
it all seemed so small

the moment ended as quickly as it began
so now i'm stuck here wringing my hands
so fucking anxious

my mom said its because i've got all this anger inside me
but i don't think she really knows me, besides
i'm only ever angry at myself

cause my friends
were my friends
but now they're all your friends
with girlfriends
and boyfriends
so i guess i don't need them
my friends were my friends
but now they're all your friends with
girlfriends and boyfriends
i really wish i didn't need them
yeah, my friends were my friends
but now they're all anxious
and tired liars
four years was never really worth it
my friends were my friends
but their hearts are bleeding
regardless i miss them
really wish i didn't need them

graduation.

always start to feel better
just a little too late to soak it in
this is just the way it always ends

no time to count all of the times
i wish i could change my mind
about changing who i am

sharp pain in my chest
can't tell if its sadness or a heart attack
i'd prefer the second, god i wanna bring myself back

the sun is out the sky is blue
so why the fuck can't i be happy too?
everything's alright, so what's wrong with me?
don't want pills or therapy cause they just numb me
or leave me be
cause i'm just not fucked up enough
is this really what i've become?

don't wanna drag you down with me
cause you're the only thing i see
in my future, whatever that word means

they say van gogh only sold one painting
while his beautiful heart was beating
but i'm a joke so where does that leave me?

the sun is out the sky is blue
so why the fuck can't i be happy too?
everything's alright so what's wrong with me?
don't want pills or therapy
cause they just numb me or leave me be
cause i'm just not fucked up enough
is this really what i've become?

written hundreds of songs
written thousands of words
is this empty life really what i deserve?
stick it all in a bottle and send it out to sea

the sun is out the sky is blue
so why the fuck can't i be happy too?
everything's alright so what's wrong with me?
can't afford pills or therapy
cause i just loathe in my own pity
i've dug my grave i've made my bed
so i'll just go sleep in it

i am sleeping on a sinking ship

Another classic from my childhood. One of my favorite songs of all time so of course I wanted to give it an electronic spin.

Enter Sandman (The Living Proof Remix)

i write best when i'm angry but
this time i'm the problem
wasted four years on a piece of paper
and open ended questions

when we were younger
couldn't wait for the summer
now i'm drowning in the sunshine that's
supposed to last forever

i'll make it quick, say i'm sorry
are you alright?
how's your mom? i hope she's doing fine
i killed all my memories to keep myself alive
cause if i'd remembered you
i surely would've died

they all went to college and i hid in my pockets
eighteen years of long drives
movie nights and
girls that i hurt cause my brain just don't work right
dad'll never know that his son is just for show
cause he does everything wrong
and stands there hoping no one knows

i'll make it quick, say i'm sorry
are you alright?
how's your mom? i hope she's doing fine
i killed all my memories to keep myself alive
cause if i'd remembered you
i surely would've died

i'll make it quick, say i'm sorry
are you alright?
how's your mom? i hope she's doing fine
i killed all my memories to keep myself alive
cause if i'd remembered you
i surely would've died.

where there's a window... i'm jumping out

Hey dudes

As many of us are currently at home due to the corona lock down we decided to make a music video open to all who want to participate in our song „Heavy“. Therefore please send us a short sequence video, 5-10 sec, landscape format from any part of the song, just where you feel most comfortable with. Any style, any look, solo, crowd, w/friends, w/family. Maybe someone is making even some cool dance moves?

Sent the shortfilm to: info@lovethelove.com until end of May and let us have some fun during shut down.

What is it about? ”She” is looking for “him” but her friends keep telling her that there is no true love. So, will she get him? Will she find true love?

Fan-Alert -  wer macht mit in unserem neuen Musikvideo?

Hey liebe Fan-Community,

da wir fast alle gerade sehr, sehr viel Zeit zu Hause verbringen, haben wir uns gedacht: Hm, machen wir doch ein Musikvideo mit unseren Fans zu unserem Song “Heavy”. 

Bist du dabei? Dann schicke uns bitte einen Kurzfilm von dir von ca. 5-10 sec - bitte im Querformat – zu einem beliebigen Liedteil. Wähle einfach eine Stelle aus, die dich spontan anspricht und dir besonders gut gefällt und bei der du gleich ein Bild dazu im Kopf hast. Solo, ganze Gruppe, mit der Clique, mit der Familie, da wollen wir euch keine Vorgaben machen. Vielleicht tanzt ihr ein paar crazy moves für uns?

Nimm diese Szene aus deinem Kopfkino auf und schicke sie dann zack – per Email bis spätestens Ende Mai an uns: info@lovethelove.com

Lasst uns ein bisschen Spass haben in dieser verrückten Zeit und den Alltag vergessen. 

Worum geht es in dem Song? “Sie” sucht “ihn”, doch ihre Freunde raten ihr ab, denn wahre Liebe gibt es nicht. Hm, bekommt sie ihn? Findet sie die wahre Liebe?


Lyrics:
When I woke up this morning I was ready for some loving.
But I had just no idea where to start and where to search.
So I gave a buzz to my best friends asking for some good advice
and we came to the conclusion: 

Stop searching for the one.

Ok. We went to that party. Somehow I felt asleep.
But then I saw this awesome guy playing on his sweet guitar.
I thought, well, let´s try. 	Let´s challenge him tonight.
But honey, you should know one thing: 

It´s heavy to catch me!

Forget about it darling. I think you´ll never make it. Try to convince me. Try to persuade me.
You´d better run my darling. Otherwise I bite and scream. Try to convince me. Try to persuade me.

Oh lady of my dreams, are you sure that I won´t get you?
I think you fly too high. Please come down to earth tonight.
Here´s the plan how to catch you.
I´m sneaking up on you playing right into your heart. 

Try to escape!

This is getting scary, sweetheart. You are dancing straight to me.
I feel caged in my own cage. Who´s the one who steers this game?
I thought that I gonna tease you but you´re going under my skin.
So I try to get away. 

Try to escape!
 
So now we dance together. I move back and he moves forward. Tries to convince me. He tries to persuade me.
I listen to his song that he´s playing for me only. Here to convince me. He´s here to persuade me.

Oh, that was fun my dear playing this song together.
Let´s go out and share tonight pleasure´s feeling oh so high.
Come jump and sing and dance! Let´s celebrate this trance!
All you people standing here - 

try to escape!

So now we dance together. Moving back and moving forward. Trying to convince you. We try to persuade you.
So listen to our song we´re playing for you only. Here to convince you. We´re here to persuade you.
