lyrics

The sense of paranoia,
That rooted me to the spot,
Was torn down with such anger,
That I totally lost the plot.
I hid in plain view watching,
Just to see what they would do.

I walked the streets past midnight, 
And started howling at the moon.
I rolled myself a cigarette, 
On the park bench by the lake.
I tried to stem the tears,
As my mind began to break.

I revel in sob stories,
And most of mine are true.
I'm a victim of my own delusion,
And I haven't got a clue.
What the hell I'm mad about?
What the fuck did I lose?

I've got to break out of this state of mind,
I have to take control.
This shit's been going on long enough, 
And I'm tired of feeling cold.

I saw you hoola dancin',
In a dream that I once had.
I was trippin' with the big boys,
And they couldn't hold me back.
From tellin' you I need you,
But you laughed right in my face.

I'm sick of feeling sorry for myself, 
I've got nothing left to prove.
I've got to break out of this state of mind, 
I have to take control. 
This shit's been going on long enough, 
And I'm tired of feeling cold.

I'm sick of feeling sorry for myself, 
I've got nothing left to prove.
I've got to break out of this state of mind, 
I have to take control. 
This shit's been going on long enough, 
And I'm tired of feeling cold.

A Fragile State of Mind” is a brutally honest descent into paranoia, self-delusion, and the desperate fight for control. It paints the picture of late-night streets, cigarette smoke, and the weight of a mind on the edge of breaking. With confessions that cut deep—sometimes bitter, sometimes darkly humorous—the song wrestles with vulnerability, anger, and the need to escape a cycle of self-pity.

It’s both a howl at the moon and a cry for liberation, balancing raw emotion with defiance. A soundtrack for anyone who’s ever felt trapped inside their own head, fighting to claw their way back into the light.

A FRAGILE STATE OF MIND

Volker Carl Jacoby - Autor, Poet, Kabarettist, Comedian, Liedermacher, Synchronsprecher - https://www.literaturland-saar.de/personen/volker-carl-jacoby

Author, poet, cabaret artist, songwriter, voice actor, journalist and even pastor: Volker C. Jacoby is active in many fields.

He spent his childhood and youth in St. Ingbert. Saarland, Germany, where he attended the humanistic and classical language branch of the State Secondary School. After university and various jobs, he began working freelance for „Saarländischer Rundfunk“ Radio, initially as a correspondent for the SR 3 regional news program, in parallel with his readings and literary solo cabaret programs. This was followed by roles as a narrator for radio plays, as a voice actor, and for various commercials.

In 1977, Jacoby teamed up with Schorsch Seitz to form the duo "Jacoby & Schorsch." Together, they primarily composed humorous songs in Standard German and the Rhenish-Franconian-Saarland dialect with a cabaret-like, ironic touch. Their dialect songs, in particular, filled a clearly existing gap in the market, especially since "SR 3 Saarlandwelle" featured them permanently on their programming, thus making them known to a wider audience. Subsequently, "Jacoby and Schorsch" produced three vinyl albums and three singles. During their tours, they also performed open-air gigs with rock bands.

Soon well known beyond the borders of Saarland, the duo received engagements in Berlin, Stuttgart (Südfunk), Cologne (Westdeutscher Rundfunk), Frankfurt, Munich, Basel, and Brussels, among others. During a TV recording at the Renitenztheater in Stuttgart, they also met Mathias Richling and Karl Dall. Jacoby collaborated with the latter several times for RTL on the radio show "Die schlaue Stunde." In 1993, the popularity of "Jacoby & Schorsch" peaked – not least through their appearances with Hanns Dieter Hüsch  (A "Hüsch Evening" with music in memory of his friend and cabaret colleague Hanns Dieter Hüsch was added to the repertoire – later in 2010).

He moved to France 1994. Since then, he has been performed readings, including singing. His dialect contributions have provided him with a rewarding outlet in the "Mundartring Saar" (Saarland dialect circle), including as a reciter of poems by deceased fellow authors, to whom he lends his voice.

Constantly prolific in literary terms, his poems are in the tradition of comic poetry in the style of Wilhelm Busch, Christian Morgenstern, Joachim Ringelnatz, Eugen Roth, Heinz Erhardt, and Robert Gernhardt. Volker C. Jacoby also publishes his poetry and prose on LiteratPro, Facebook, and YouTube. Since 2025, he has been setting his poems to music and is constantly writing new songs. And, of course, he continues to write his cheerful, humorous, and often very quirky poems.

Faith, family, patriotism, the military - and, of course - Texas! are my loves and what I write about. I have no musical training, but started out writing poetry. A family member submitted one of my poems to see if it would “sing,” and it did!  That was Spring 2023, and I have been writing ever since.

Music is Pure Energy Transformed in Vibration, and So Are We!!!

I've been around long enough to know that POSITIVE is the way to go. Peace, Happiness, Culture, Friendship, Love are few things that are to be found within this lifetime and protected for those that will be after us. TIMING is Everything: knowing when to jump on opportunity staring in your face, one chance! 
Hearing a new groove that will be a hit shortly is EVERYTHING, just when your mind is beginning to wrap around the notion that what you hear is real, and you know it, smiling, by the third time you hear it, IN YOUR HEART! Every song that I play is SPECIAL hand picked out of many, for specific REASON to promote a FEELING. We are not artists. The people who make this awesome music are the true ARTISTS!

This is My Life. The Real One!!!

All links now active... 🎵 Original Music from Wirral, UK | Phil Dutton & Les Corlett AKA The DC Sound Project

The DC Sound Project. Eight albums deep and still going strong. It usually starts with a good old-fashioned jam session, then somehow ends in a coffee-fuelled recording marathon. We write songs about love, politics, heartbreak, and those occasional “what the hell is wrong with the world?” moments, all brewed fresh on the Wirral. Press play… it’s music therapy with better side effects!

We’re an independent duo creating everything from raw folk ballads to gritty blues-rock. Every video is carefully crafted with free footage and, sometimes, AI-generated visuals to tell the story behind the song.

Snaggletooth (2025)
Addiction (2025)
Black Ice (2024)
Yellin’ at the Clouds (2024)
