Some lyrics of mine

Song
Ein Moment für Dich

Finster ist's um Dich herum.
Sei nicht dumm.
Zünde Dir ein Lichtlein an,
dessen Flamme Dir hell leuchten kann.

Lese Du im Buche das,
was Du auch gut verstehst.
Lese Du mit Spaß,
so wie Du zu Dir stehst.

Da kommen Dir Gedanken ein.
Manche sind so frisch.
Nimm es wahr, das wäre fein.
Setze Dich an diesen Gabentisch.

Erkenne all der Dinge gutes Wesen,
ohne Dich zu jucken.
Sie sind schon immer so gewesen.
Was sollten sie da bedrücken?

Find Du auch zurück zu Dir.
Das gilt es zu bejahen,
wann immer hinter Deines Geistes Tür
sich Dir die Gedanken offenbaren.

All diese Dinge begreife,
so dass sie Dir gerecht werden.
Ja, an dieser Idee reife,
dafür möchte ich werben.

Manches solltest Du auch lassen.
Das kann gerne geschehen.
Wirst Du Dich damit befassen?
Momente kommen, Situationen vergehen.

Ein Moment für DIch

Ein Moment für Dich

Some lyrics of mine

Song
Eintagsfliegen
Nicht klein und auch nicht groß möchte ich sein.
In der Gleichwertigkeit liegt mein Lebensglück verborgen.
So bestimme ich es für mich allein.
Ich habe damit wenig Sorgen.

Nicht hoch möchte ich steigen, 
noch möchte ich tief gefallen sein.
Mein Leben ist mir zu eigen,
will nicht geworfen werden wie ein Stein.

Da habe ich zu mir gefunden.
Ich bin meine Wege gerne gegangen. 
Manches hat mich zwar arg geschunden, 
doch ich habe stets erneut damit angefangen.

All das Meinige versuche ich zu behaupten.
Niemand hat sich aussuchen können, wie es ist.
So lautet zumindest mein Glauben.
Manch einer findet sein Leben trist.

Was ist das für ein ungewisses Leben
und warum sollte man fordernd streben?
Das hat schon manchem Unglück gebracht.
Da lebt man bei Sonnenschein und stirbt schon in der ersten Nacht.

Eintagsfliegen

Visitors

Der Planet brennt

Rondo Blue

Dive into the haunting depths of "The Key to Nowhere" — a symphonic metal-rock ballad where raw guitar grit clashes with ghostly folk whispers.

What if the heaviest thing you carry fits no lock? A song about relics we cling to — letters, lies, lost homes — and the courage to let rust set us free.

What if the key you cherish opens only graves? A hymn to the boxes inside us – where faded keys, unspoken words, and loves that "wouldn’t matter" wait.  

---

Tauche ein in die gespenstischen Tiefen von "The Key to Nowhere" – eine symphonische Metal-Rock-Ballade, in der roher Gitarren-Grit auf geisterhafte Folk-Flüstern trifft.

Was, wenn das Schwerste, das du trägst, in kein Schloss passt? Ein Song über Relikte, an die wir klammern – Briefe, Lügen, verlorene Heimat – und den Mut, Rost uns befreien zu lassen.

Was, wenn der Schlüssel, den du liebst, nur Gräber öffnet? Eine Hymne an die Kisten in uns – wo verblasste Schlüssel, ungesagte Worte und Lieben, die "nichts bedeuteten", warten.

lyrics:

This key to nowhere....
it opens every grave...

I sit in front of a box of keys,
Collected from me through all the years.
Some I don’t know how to use,
Some open doors...
But in the middle of the box,
There is a faded key...

This key was forged in a fire long cold,
Its teeth bite deep but fit no hole.
I wear its weight like a crown of rust –
A kingdom of dust...
A kingdom of dust...

The locksmith laughed when I begged for a map,
Said ‘Some doors, child, are meant to stay snapped.’
But I carved my own...
With a thief’s trembling hands...
Now the frame won’t hold...
And the hinges demand...

The messenger brings no answers now,
Just echoes of winds...
And the whispers of vows...
That once swore...
To never...
Let go...

THIS KEY TO NOWHERE –
IT OPENS EVERY GRAVE!
Every chain I kiss for luck...
Just drags the lock...
Through the muck...
Of the past I couldn’t shatter...
The love that wouldn’t...
Matter...

The halls are lined with the words I’ve left unsaid,
Each one a ghost that haunts my head.
I trace their shapes in the gathering dark,
But the light won’t spark...
The light won’t spark...

THIS KEY TO NOWHERE –
IT OPENS EVERY GRAVE!
Every chain I kiss for luck...
Just drags the lock...
Through the muck...
Of the past I couldn’t shatter...
The love that wouldn’t...
Matter...

I built a shrine where the key won’t turn,
Filled it with ghosts and watched them burn.
The ashes spelled...
‘You’re already free.’
But freedom’s just...
Another...
Prison...
For me...

I sit in front of a box of keys,
Collected from me through all the years.
Some I don’t know how to use,
Some open doors...
But in the middle of the box,
There is a faded key...

This Key To Nowhere

OVERTHINKING IN C MINOR 
2025 Cooper Jones
 
There’ve been so many words I wrote
Better left unread
So many words I spoke
Better left unsaid

While I was looking for my exit strategy
To preserve my wellbeing and my sanity

But I had a change of heart
That’s “heart” in air quotes
Decided to delete 
All those messages and notes
 
Put it all down to late night drinking
And maybe me…just overthinking
 
There’ve been so many thoughts I had
Can’t text the feeling
Been so many times so sad
That left me reeling

I thought I wrote you out, shampoo for the soul
But when my eyes started stinging, I realised the toll
 
Put it all down to late night drinking
And maybe me…just overthinking
 
Crush hour traffic, before we broke
Thinking, ‘Dear John, that’s all she wrote’
Composing a chorus, but came unstuck
Have I got the wrong person, right hook
 
Put it all down to late night drinking
And maybe me…just overthinking
 
There’ve been so many words I wrote
Better left unread
So many words I spoke
Better left unsaid
 
Put it all down to late night drinking
And maybe me…just overthinking

Song of Nadiege Sabate No.69

Composed in 2024, this is my first string quartet. Alas, it is only a digital rendition straight from music notation software.

Ed's First String Quartet

This is my second string quartet, composed in 2025. This piece has three movements and it explores a Byzantine-like scale I 'invented'.

Inspired by Hans Zimmer, I've always felt a deep connection to music that stirs the soul. After many years of dreaming, I'm now creating my own tracks, driven by real-life emotions, everyday stories, and global events.

With the help of modern tech, AI, and the loving support of my wife and creative partners, my vision is finally coming to life.

My music blends soundtracks, instrumentals, gospel and multilingual lyrics in German, English, French, Italian, Spanish and Ukrainian.

Kyrillos Guirguis is an Australian composer who has been passionate about music since early childhood. His music is influenced by both Middle Eastern music, including Coptic Christian, and Western classical music traditions. His compositions occasionally use the Arabic and Coptic maqams (scales/modes) that utilise micro-tonality (quarter tones), giving his music a rich flavour. He enjoys orchestrating his own music, utilising principles developed by some of the great orchestrators such as Rimsky-Korsakov.

Kyrillos has been learning and playing the lute (oud) for several years. He uses the lute for most of the compositional process, which tends to focus on melody. However, his strong music theory and broad intimate knowledge with various instruments enable him to orchestrate effectively and compose for a wide variety of genres and ensembles. 

Kyrillos loves the oboe, bassoon, and the French horn, and can't resist including them in his orchestrations.

Kyrillos has only recently started to share his music with others, bringing to the world wonderful music that has deep spiritual meanings. The Valley Winds Ensemble, Massachusetts, considers him a composer with “strong compositional skills”, attesting to his abilities to write music that inspires others and appeals to both musicians and listeners alike.

One of the scholars at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music described his compositional style as "evocative, setting him apart in the Western contemporary classical idiom".

Kyrillos is currently completing his postgraduate music studies at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, with a focus on music composition.

Kyrillos continues to compose inspiring music that is loved by many fans around the world. He is also pursuing opportunities to collaborate and to support others in their musical journeys.
