[Verse 1 – Childhood]
Little boy, microphone in hand,
No playgrounds, no castle in the sand.
Every bruise was a lesson to obey,
Daddy said, “Sing, or you’ll pay.”
Spotlight stole the nights he cried,
Childhood buried deep inside.

[Chorus]
Fly too high, you touch the flame,
The world will cheer, then curse your name.
Dancing shadows, broken glass,
A king of pop, who rose too fast.
Oh, he gave them all his soul,
But the crown took its toll.

[Verse 2 – The Rise]
Jackson 5, then a star alone,
Every stage became his throne.
Billie Jean lit up the night,
Thriller turned the world to white.
No limits, no mountain too tall,
He was the man who had it all.

[Chorus]
Fly too high, you touch the flame,
The world will cheer, then curse your name.
Dancing shadows, broken glass,
A king of pop, who rose too fast.
Oh, he gave them all his soul,
But the crown took its toll.

(solo)

[Verse 3 – The Crown & The Fire]
Neverland gates, a dream to escape,
Haunted halls with a childlike shape.
Cameras burned, his hair caught fire,
Still he moved with endless desire.
With Elvis’ daughter by his side,
Fairy tale love that couldn’t survive.

[Bridge]
They called him hero, they called him freak,
They praised his voice, then cursed his speech.
Every whisper cut like knives,
Accusations stole his life.

[Verse 4 – The Fall]
The king grew older, the crown grew cold,
Chasing glory he once could hold.
“This Is It” – his final stand,
The world still waited, tickets in hand.
But behind the curtain, silence fell,
A broken body couldn’t tell.

(solo)

[Chorus – Final]
Fly too high, you touch the flame,
The world will cheer, then curse your name.
Dancing shadows, broken glass,
A king of pop, who rose too fast.
Oh, he gave them all his soul,
Now the crown tells the toll.

[Outro]
Crowds once shouted, “Monster, liar,”
Now they’re mourning, lighting fires.
He had it all, then lost it fast,
A legend born, a shadow cast.
Michael’s gone, but still he sings,
Forever the man who had wings.

Fly Too High

[Verse 1]
Shiny card, they say it’s free,
But every swipe takes a piece of me.
Pay it later, sounds so sweet,
But the bill comes back, knockin’ at your feet.

[Pre-Chorus]
Zero today, tomorrow you bleed,
Interest grows like a poisoned seed.

[Chorus]
Plastic chains, they look like gold,
Lock you in, tighter hold.
Better save, better wait,
Freedom’s worth the time it takes.

(solo)

[Verse 2]
They sell you dreams with a limit line,
But the price you pay ain’t worth the shine.
Don’t be fooled by the credit game,
Work for yourself, not for their name.

[Bridge]
Cash in hand, that’s power, that’s real,
No hidden chains in the deal.
Every cent that you truly own,
Builds you a life, a steady home.

(solo)

[Chorus]
Plastic chains, they look like gold,
Lock you in, tighter hold.
Better save, better wait,
Freedom’s worth the time it takes.

[Outro]
Don’t sell your soul for a borrowed dime,
Take it slow, you’ll be fine.
Plastic chains, cut them loose,

Plastic Chains

Text:
[Verse]
The fields once gold now gray with ash
A silent wind
The whispers clash
Homes that crumble
Hearts that break
A world asleep
Yet wide awake

[Chorus]
Shadows of the sky
Falling down
Dreams in the rubble of a shattered town
Who will sing for the voiceless cries
When shadows of the sky fill our eyes

[Verse 2]
A mother’s hands hold empty air
A child’s laughter
Now nowhere
The earth it trembles
Cold and bare
And still the sun pretends to care

[Prechorus]
But the roots dig deep beneath the pain
Life will rise
It finds its lane

[Chorus]
Shadows of the sky
Falling down
Dreams in the rubble of a shattered town
Who will sing for the voiceless cries
When shadows of the sky fill our eyes

[Bridge]
A flag still waves through the darkest night
Hope is a spark that ignites the fight
Though clouds may gather
The dawn will burn
A promise made
We will return

Shadows of the Sky

[Verse 1]
Clock is ticking, but is it real?
Moments cut like a spinning wheel.
Every second feels brand new,
But maybe it’s a lie we’re moving through.

[Pre-Chorus]
If all exists in just one frame,
Why do I dance, why do I play the game?

[Chorus]
Paradox of time, I breathe the beat,
Past and future at my feet.
Every kick a world apart,
Yet it’s the same unbroken heart.
Paradox of time, I lose, I find,
An endless rhythm in my mind.

(solo)

[Verse 2]
Songs unfold, from start to end,
But maybe nothing’s there to spend.
Illusion calls, we chase the sound,
Though every note was always found.

[Pre-Chorus]
If all is written, carved in stone,
Why do I feel like I’m alone?

[Chorus]
Paradox of time, I breathe the beat,
Past and future at my feet.
Every kick a world apart,
Yet it’s the same unbroken heart.
Paradox of time, I lose, I find,
An endless rhythm in my mind.

(solo)

[Bridge]
Dance in the circle,
No start, no end.
Every now collides,
And comes again.
Relativity’s song,
We can’t rewind,
Still every pulse
Feels one of a kind.

[Final Chorus]
Paradox of time, it sets me free,
Illusion’s chains, they fall from me.
Every moment, I let it shine,
Forever trapped, yet so divine.

[Outro]
Tick—tock,
It’s all the same block.
Kick—snare,
The sound’s always there.
We move in lines,
But live in loops,
Paradox of time—
It’s the truth.

Paradox of Time

[Verse 1]
Got a message late last night,
“Hey babe, I’m Kim, let’s set it right.”
Blue check’s gone, but she swears it’s real,
Said she loves my vibe, wants to seal the deal.

Then Robert Plant came knockin’ too,
“Let’s jam some Zeppelin, just me and you!”
But his English slipped, full of typo lines,
Guess legends don’t use Google, half the time.

[Chorus]
Kim Kardashian in my inbox, oh no,
Angus Young says he needs some dough.
Brian Jones came back from the grave,
All these scammers, man, they’re so brave.
Click delete, I don’t believe—
Rockstars don’t slide in my DMs at three!

(solo)

[Verse 2]
Kim says: “Honey, wire me cash,
I’ll send you selfies, private stash.”
But the photo’s blurry, cropped too tight,
Pretty sure Kim don’t use a Nokia, right?

Then Angus wrote: “I lost my band,
Need your number, lend a hand!”
But AC/DC’s still on tour,
Nice try, scammer, seen that before.

[Chorus]
Kim Kardashian in my inbox, oh no,
Angus Young says he needs some dough.
Brian Jones came back from the grave,
All these scammers, man, they’re so brave.
Click delete, I don’t believe—
Rockstars don’t slide in my DMs at three!

(solo)

[Bridge]
If Elvis texts me tomorrow night,
“I’m alive, and my hair’s still tight,”
I’ll just laugh, say: “Nice disguise—
Next you’ll tell me Tupac’s online!”

[Final Chorus]
Kim Kardashian in my inbox, oh no,
Robert Plant wants my stereo.
Brian Jones is ghostin’ me,
Scammers everywhere, set me free.
Hit that block, I keep my peace,
Legends don’t beg me for a lease.

[Outro – spoken/funny ad-libs]
“Yo, this is Mick Jagger—send Bitcoin, baby!”
“Yeah sure, Mick… click delete.”v

[Intro]
Yeah…
Clock’s ticking, papers stackin’,
Hearts racing, stomach crackin’.
Two worlds, one beat.
Listen close.

[Verse 1 – Yuppie Voice]
Wake up, tie tight, gotta win this race,
Coffee in my hand, sweat upon my face.
Climb that ladder, never look down,
Shiny car, penthouse in town.
But the nights get cold, the pressure’s real,
Success tastes bitter when you can’t heal.
Doctor says: „Man, you’re workin’ too much,“
Magengeschwür – life’s out of touch.

[Pre-Chorus]
All that gold, all that fight,
But your soul don’t sleep at night.

[Chorus]
Generation Chill – they move slow, they know the deal.
Work to live, not live to work,
Balance is the strongest shield.
Generation Chill – they don’t climb that stress-built hill,
They got less, but they got more,
Peace of mind, that’s worth the score.

(solo)

[Verse 2 – Gen Z Voice]
Hey old school, we saw what you did,
You burned bright fast, but the candle split.
We want time, yeah, we want air,
Love and laughter, we keep it fair.
Not lazy – just wiser with years to go,
Hustle kills joy, and we say „no“.
Call it chill, but it’s survival too,
We don’t play the game that’s breakin’ you.

[Bridge]
Two worlds, but the beat is the same,
Your scars, our new realm.
You chase the clock, we feel the flow,
Maybe you'll learn– let it go.

(solo)

[Chorus]
Generation Chill – they move slow, they know the deal.
Work to live, not live to work,
Balance is the strongest shield.
Generation Chill – they don’t climb that stress-built hill,
They got less, but they got more,
Peace of mind, that’s worth the score.

[Outro]
So take a breath, let the burden fall,
Life ain’t a prison, it’s a call.
Old scars heal if you just stand still,
Welcome, man – to Generation Chill.

Generation Chill

Text:
[Verse]
I love you like the morning loves the dew
Like shadows love the moonlight too
You’re the spark in my undone fuse
Baby I can’t lose

[Prechorus]
You’re the reason stars don’t sleep
The reason oceans run so deep

[Chorus]
I love you I love you I do
Every second it feels brand new
I love you I love you it’s true
Falling falling into you

(solo)

[Verse 2]
I love you like a kite loves the breeze
Like whispers love the swaying trees
You’re the rhythm in my heartbeat’s tune
The melody I swoon

[Bridge]
If the world broke in two
I’d still run to you
If the sun turned to rain
You’d still ease my pain

(solo)

[Chorus]
I love you I love you I do
Every second it feels brand new
I love you I love you it’s true
Falling falling into you

Falling Into You

Text:
[Intro]
Yeah…
This one’s for all the dreamers,
9-to-5 believers,
Clock in – cash out –
We fight, we fly!

[Verse 1]
Alarm rings, dark sky, eyes half closed,
Bus stop waiting, same street, same clothes.
Bills keep knockin’, rent won’t wait,
Working all day just to fill that plate.
But I see postcards in my head at night,
Ocean waves, sunrise light.
I sweat, I grind, I pay my dues,
’Cause paradise waits when I choose.

[Pre-Chorus]
Every hour, every cent,
Is a ticket heaven-sent.
Don’t give up, don’t lose sight,
Vacation’s comin’, hold on tight.

[Chorus]
Fight for the holiday –
Workin’ hard, but we’ll find a way.
Dreamin’ of beaches, far and wide,
Freedom waits on the other side.
Fight for the holiday –
Pack your bags, we don’t wanna stay.
New horizons, voices sing,
Every struggle pays for wings.

(solo)

[Verse 2]
Sunburn laughs on a foreign shore,
Street food smells, colors I adore.
Strangers smile, music in the air,
Life feels lighter when you’re there.
So don’t just dream, man, make it real,
Sweat today for tomorrow’s feel.
Chillen’s sweet, but first the fight,
Earn your wings, then take that flight.

[Bridge]
Fight for your holiday, don’t just dream away,
Foreign lands are waiting, trust it, find your way.
Working for the money, yeah, it all pays out,
You can chill much later – palm trees all around.

(solo)

[Chorus]
Fight for the holiday –
Workin’ hard, but we’ll find a way.
Dreamin’ of beaches, far and wide,
Freedom waits on the other side.
Fight for the holiday –
Pack your bags, we don’t wanna stay.
New horizons, voices sing,
Every struggle pays for wings.

[Outro]
Yeah…
One world, one life, one chance to see,
Your fight today buys tomorrow free.
So raise your glass, the sky turns blue,
Holiday’s waitin’ – for me and you.

Fight for the Holiday

Text:
[Verse 1]
No shame, no fear, let’s talk it clear,
Words they hide, but the truth is here.
Hollywood showed me, jokes on the screen,
But real life talk is what we need.

[Pre-Chorus]
They call it wrong, they twist the name,
But knowing yourself is not a game.
With laughter, light, and honesty,
We break the walls, we set it free.

[Chorus]
Say it loud, say it true,
Every body’s part belongs to you.
No more silence, no taboo,
Honest talk will carry you through.

(solo)

[Verse 2]
Parents scared, teachers shy,
But kids deserve no alibi.
It’s just a word, it’s not a crime,
Let’s teach it real, it’s about time.

[Bridge]
Open hearts, with courage too,
Speaking strong is good for you.
No more secrets, no disguise,
Honesty wins, the greatest prize.

(solo)

[Chorus – Reprise]
Say it loud, say it true,
Every body’s part belongs to you.
No more silence, no taboo,
Honest talk will carry you through.

No More Secrets

Text:
[Verse 1]
We started fair, equal money in hand,
Rolling dice on a balanced land.
But slowly the tide begins to slide,
One grabs it all, as the rest just hide.

[Pre-Chorus]
When the board folds, what will remain?
Empty streets and burning flames.

[Chorus]
When the board closes, the real game begins,
It’s not sharply planned, but it’s already grim.
One owns the world, the rest pay the cost,
When Monopoly ends – freedom’s lost.

(solo)

[Verse 2]
No landlords warned, the lesson ignored,
Greed won the day, and justice was floored.
Cities crumble, wars spark from despair,
One player stands – but nobody’s there.

[Bridge]
It started as lesson, a warning in code,
But now it's prologue to a darker road.
When the board closes, no winners live on,
Just silence, ashes, and the final dawn.

(solo)

[Chorus]
When the board closes, the real game begins,
It’s not sharply planned, but it’s already grim.
One owns the world, the rest pay the cost,
When Monopoly ends – freedom’s lost.

[Outro – Spoken]
So tear up the board, but rebuild the world,
Before the last card is flipped, let truth be unfurled…
Don’t wait till the end to know it’s your turn.

When the Board Closes
