Volcanoes of Pop

Floating away, in this metal tomb,
Where time stands still, and there's only gloom.
Oh, Pilot lost, in the cosmic sea,
Will anyone remember, will they remember me?

Ten light years out, the stars all align,
My ship's a ghost, through the void I climb.
Control to Pilot, can you hear my plea?
A silent hum, just the ship and me.

Floating away, in this metal tomb,
Where time stands still, and there's only gloom.
Oh, Pilot lost, in the cosmic sea,
Will anyone remember, will they remember me?

The Earth's a speck, a fading blue,
No turning back, what else can I do?
My oxygen's low, my systems fail,
In this endless night, my spirit sets sail.

They said I'd be a hero, a pioneer,
But out here alone, there's only fear.
No grand parade, no cheering crowd,
Just the silent stars, my lonely shroud.

Floating away, in this metal tomb,
Where time stands still, and there's only gloom.
Oh, Pilot lost, in the cosmic sea,
Will anyone remember, will they remember me?

Ground Control, I'm losing the signal now,
Just static whispers, and a fading vow.
This is Pilot signing off, into the black,
No turning back, no turning back…


Lost in the Void

Walking through the shadows, feeling kind of lost
Searching for a beacon, no matter what the cost
Heard the whispers softly, of a feeling so profound
But all I've ever stumbled on was shaky, shifting ground

Is there something more than just the touch and fleeting glance?
A deeper kind of comfort, a second, hopeful chance?
My heart keeps on repeating, a question in the air

Tell me, can you show me what it means to truly care?
Is there someone out there who can meet me halfway there?
I've been wandering lonely, with this longing in my soul
Tell me, can you teach me how to make my spirit whole?

Tried to build my castles on foundations made of sand
Every time the tide came in, they crumbled in my hand
Seen the faces come and go, promises like fragile glass
Hoping for a connection that was built to truly last

Is there something stronger than the words that people say?
A constant kind of presence to brighten up the day?
My heart keeps on repeating, a question in the air

Tell me, can you show me what it means to truly care?
Is there someone out there who can meet me halfway there?
I've been wandering lonely, with this longing in my soul
Tell me, can you teach me how to make my spirit whole?

I reach out in the darkness, hoping for a guiding light
Someone to stand beside me, and make everything feel right

Tell me, can you show me what it means to truly care?
Is there someone out there who can meet me halfway there?
I've been wandering lonely, with this longing in my soul
Tell me, can you teach me how to make my spirit whole?

Oh, I want to know, I really want to know
What love is, and how it starts to grow.
Yeah, I want to know, I really want to know.


IS THERE SOMEONE OUT THERE?

The lamps are low, a bruised twilight bleeds,
Across the pane where the rain still pleads.
Each drop a sigh on the dusty glass,
Watching the moments slowly pass.
A whisper soft on the chilling breeze,
Rustling secrets through the skeletal trees.

The path unwinds, a ribbon of stone,
Leading me deeper, further alone.
Each twisted branch, a reaching hand,
Grasping for something I can't understand.
The air grows thick with a damp perfume,
Sealing my fate in this gathering gloom.

And I walk alone in this fading light,
Where shadows stretch and swallow the white.
A phantom limb of a memory's call,
Echoing softly beyond the wall.
Is it real, this shape in the grey?
Or just the forest stealing my day?

A flicker there, behind the dense wood,
A fragile hope, misunderstood?
Or just the moon, a sliver so thin,
Mocking the darkness that dwells within?

And I walk alone in this fading light,
Where shadows stretch and swallow the white.
A phantom limb of a memory's call,
Echoing softly beyond the wall.
Is it real, this shape in the grey?
Or just the forest stealing my day?

The forest breathes, a silent sigh,
As the last of the colors begin to die.
And I am lost, and I cannot see,
If the forest is holding onto me.
Holding onto me...
Holding onto me...

Walk alone in this fading light

Across the rooftops, the city sighs low,
Streetlights like diamonds on a velvet below.
They tell us surrender, they tell us to cease,
But in this moment, we find our release.
We can be giants, just for tonight,
Burning so brightly, a glorious light.

You with your secrets, and shadows you keep,
Me with my wild heart, refusing to sleep.
They build up their walls, try to keep us apart,
But the fire between us tears them all apart.
Though the world tries to tame us, day after day,
We can be fearless, come what may.

I see the defiance that flickers and gleams,
A spark in your eyes, chasing impossible dreams.
They whisper of failure, of battles we'll lose,
But their voices are fading, we have nothing to choose.
But to rise above it, on wings made of will,
On this concrete horizon, our promise fulfill.

Oh, we can be legends, etched in the grey,
Defying the darkness, and lighting the way.
Just for this evening, the stars understand,
Two souls united, hand in hand.
We can be heroes, if only we try,
Under the vastness of the indigo sky.

Maybe tomorrow the magic will fade,
The colors will dull, the promises made.
But tonight we are boundless, a force strong and true,
Breaking the barriers, me and you.

Oh, we can be legends, etched in the grey,
Defying the darkness, and lighting the way.
Just for this evening, the stars understand,
Two souls united, hand in hand.
We can be heroes, if only we try,
Under the vastness of the indigo sky.

Just for tonight... heroes...
Under the sky...

Defying the darkness

Yeah...
Oh...
Still...

Hear the beat, it's calling out
Can't stop now, no room for doubt
Pushing through, the energy's high
Underneath this neon sky

Feel the rush, it takes control
Losing grip, losing soul
One more hit, one more sound
Spinning 'round and 'round and 'round

Never enough
Still not enough
Gotta get more, gotta get tough
Never enough
Still not enough
Can't fill this cup, can't give it up
Never enough
No, it's not enough
Just one more drop, just one more shove

Flicker lights, a distant gleam
Living out a waking dream
Heartbeat drums, a steady pace
Lost inside this time and space

Feel the rush, it takes control
Losing grip, losing soul
One more hit, one more sound
Spinning 'round and 'round and 'round

Never enough
Still not enough
Gotta get more, gotta get tough
Never enough
Still not enough
Can't fill this cup, can't give it up
Never enough
No, it's not enough
Just one more drop, just one more shove

Chasing shadows in the dark
Leaving behind a burning mark
Is there a limit to this chase?
Lost in time, lost in this place...

Enough...
Never...
Still...
]
Never enough!
Still not enough!
Gotta get more, gotta get tough!
Never enough!
Still not enough!
Can't fill this cup, can't give it up!
Never enough!
No, it's not enough!
Just one more drop, just one more shove!

Enough...
Never...
Still not enough...


NEVER ENOUGH

Tick-tock goes the digital clock, on my phone, on my wall
Another second slips away, can't catch it, can't stall
The newsfeed scrolls, a thousand faces, a thousand lives unfold
Each moment a fleeting whisper, a story to be told

Time is happening, right before our eyes
A constant current, through the endless skies
It pulls us forward, whether we're ready or not
A cosmic dance, a never-ending plot
Time is happening, can you feel the flow?
From birth to dust, a garden where we grow

The city hums, a million gears, a symphony of speed
Plans are made and dreams are chased, a universal need
We push and strive, we laugh and cry, beneath the shifting sun
But even in our busiest stride, the clock keeps ticking on

Time is happening, right before our eyes
A constant current, through the endless skies
It pulls us forward, whether we're ready or not
A cosmic dance, a never-ending plot
Time is happening, can you feel the flow?
From birth to dust, a garden where we grow

Sometimes I wish for pause, a moment to just be
To feel the breath within my lungs, to simply feel free
But freedom's found in letting go, in riding on the wave
Embracing every fleeting now, the memories we save

Time is happening, right before our eyes
A constant current, through the endless skies
It pulls us forward, whether we're ready or not
A cosmic dance, a never-ending plot
Time is happening, can you feel the flow?
From birth to dust, a garden where we grow

So don't just watch it pass you by, don't let it fade away
Live every second, every hour, seize the brand new day
Time is happening, oh, can't you see?
Time is happening, for you and me.

TIME

Woke up on a Tuesday, same old ceiling crack
Coffee's brewing, news is looping, can't get off the track
Another siren wailing, just another street
Pigeons on the power line, tapping out a beat

Gotta keep it level, gotta keep it straight
Don't let the corners buckle, don't let the lines deflate
Same old hum in the conduit, same old faded light
Tryna keep it even, through the day and night

Saw a dog chase a shadow, thought it was a friend
Plastic bag on a lamppost, swaying in the wind
Empty storefront staring, peeling paint and rust
Another thought just fleeting, turning into dust

Gotta keep it level, gotta keep it straight
Don't let the corners buckle, don't let the lines deflate
Same old hum in the conduit, same old faded light
Tryna keep it even, through the day and night

The drone of the refrigerator, a low and steady drone
Just trying to feel connected, but feeling all alone
The rhythm of the footsteps, echoing in the hall
Waiting for something different, or nothing at all

Gotta keep it level, gotta keep it straight
Don't let the corners buckle, don't let the lines deflate
Same old hum in the conduit, same old faded light
Tryna keep it even, through the day and night

Keep it even, yeah
Keep it even, huh
Just keep it... even.


Concrete Lullaby

Streetlights bleedin' through the blinds
Another night, the same old signs
Got that static in my head
Words unsaid, still stuck in bed

Oh, Mr. Moon, shinin' in the black
Whisper secrets, no turnin' back
Tell me stories of the city's hum
Before the silence overcomes

Shadows dancin' on the wall
Hearin' echoes down the hall
Radio hums a forgotten tune
Lost beneath your electric moon

Oh, Mr. Moon, shinin' in the black
Whisper secrets, no turnin' back
Tell me stories of the city's hum
Before the silence overcomes

Is there a soul out there tonight?
Caught in your artificial light?
Just a flicker, a fleeting gleam
Living out another faded dream

Oh, Mr. Moon, shinin' in the black
Whisper secrets, no turnin' back
Tell me stories of the city's hum
Before the silence overcomes

Oh, Mr. Moon, fade away
Another break of day
Just the hum... the hum...


BEFORE THE SILENCE OVERCOMES

From the series: 80s hits that will never have existed ...

Streetlights bleedin' on the wet asphalt
Another Friday, same old default
Feel the hummin' in the concrete veins
Chasin' somethin' to escape the pains
Got that hunger burnin' deep inside
Nowhere left for a young soul to hide

Neon Knights! Glimmer in the fading sun
Runnin' wild 'til the morning's spun
Neon Knights! Never gonna slow us down
Kings of the concrete, wearing no crown
Oh-oh-oh, we chase the vanishing light
Oh-oh-oh, through the heart of the night

Shadows dancin' to a silent beat
Lost reflections on the bustling street
Every movement, a desperate plea
For a moment, just to feel so free
Hear the sirens wailin' in the distance
Ignorin' every warning, every instance

Every whisper, every flash and gleam
Caught between a nightmare and a dream
Hear the rhythm callin' out your name
Fanning every flicker of the flame

Neon Knights! Glimmer in the fading sun
Runnin' wild 'til the morning's spun
Neon Knights! Never gonna slow us down
Kings of the concrete, wearing no crown
Oh-oh-oh, we chase the vanishing light
Oh-oh-oh, through the heart of the night

They say we're reckless, lost and undone
But we're just searching for where we belong
In the chaos, we find our own way
Living for the thrill of another day

Neon Knights! Glimmer in the fading sun
Runnin' wild 'til the morning's spun
Neon Knights! Never gonna slow us down
Kings of the concrete, wearing no crown
Oh-oh-oh, we chase the vanishing light
Oh-oh-oh, through the heart of the night

Neon Knights! Don't you try to understand
Just feel the pulse of this desperate land
Neon Knights! Forever on the run
Until our fading victory is won.

Neon Knights

Say goodbye to the never to be seen again. Far too early. 
REST IN FUCK'N FOR EVER PEACE

Worn-out shoes and a crooked smile
Trying to get close for a little while
Something in your eyes just pulls me in
And I can feel this shaking deep within

'Cause I'm a mess
I'm a freak
What am I doing here?
I don't belong here

See you walking by with all your friends
A perfect picture, it never ends
Every day's a new and perfect scene
I'm just the static on your silver screen

'Cause I'm a mess
I'm a freak
What am I doing here?
I don't belong here

If only I could be just like you
Something beautiful and something new
A different color, a different sound
Just to feel my feet on solid ground

'Cause I'm a mess
I'm a freak
What am I doing here?
I don't belong here

I Don't Belong Here

¡Shpiln di griln tantsn di vantsn!
The emptiness of various Corona lockdowns made Focke the Fockmaster. Musically, he tried out various styles to end up where everything once ended. Techno. 
With classical eight-year music training on the cello, pubescent excursions into New Wave music, everything followed a logic at the end of the 90s. Techno.
