Remember Me? EP from Mp

Fly the Voodoo Skies

"Over the Rooftops" is a raw 1980s German post-punk style anthem capturing the desperate yearning for freedom amid urban oppression. Vivid verses paint gray streets, pale uniform faces flickering in illusory windows, and the city's scars on skin, building to explosive choruses demanding to soar like a bird above concrete—shattering chains, doubts, and confinement. A tense bridge of falling through time and space leads to a triumphant reprise where the world below remains intertwined as the narrator escapes unbound. Defiant backing vocals amplify the punk rebellion.(see the generated image above)

English Lyrics 

[Intro]  
I dream my way out – from concrete and rain,  
through window bars, cloud paths.  
Somewhere up there,  
there must be light.  

[Verse 1]  
You say the sky's too vast,  
for someone like me – in street dust.  
But my shadows,  
learn to fly tonight.  

[Verse 2]  
The street is cold, breath gray,  
the city carves lines into my skin.  
But over the rooftops,  
lies open blue.  

[Pre-Chorus]  
I feel the wind calling me,  
built from wishes and fear.  

[Chorus]  
Be free – like a bird,  
(Fly! Fly!)  
over rooftops of concrete.  
(I wanna break out!)  
I wanna see the world from above,  
(Always higher!)  
no more just from below.  
Be free – no chains,  
(No chains!)  
no "stay here," no "where you going."  
I fly away –  
(Alone, alone!)  
no destination, just feeling.  

[Interlude – instrumental approx. 50 sec.]  

[Verse 3]  
I see faces – pale and same,  
illusions flicker in windows.  
But up above,  
sparks dance through my heart.  

[Verse 4]  
Maybe I lose myself in the light,  
but finally I know who I am.  
No cage anymore,  
no looking back.  

[Bridge]  
I won't hold on anymore,  
to the rusty dream railing.  
I fall – and fly at once,  
through time and space.  

[Chorus – Reprise]  
Be free – like a bird,  
(Fly! Fly!)  
over shadows, noise and asphalt.  
(I wanna break out!)  
I see the world from above,  
(Always higher!)  
everything stays, intertwined.  

[Outro]
