[Verse]
When I came to this morning
I couldn't believe my eyes
When I found you in my bed
Oh what a surprise
You told me you love me
But you know it ain't right
I should've left you at the bar last night

[Chorus]
Ooh hoo
You make it so hard
For me to do right
So I don't know what I'm gonna do
Ooh hoo
I can hardly sleep
So I stay up all night
I'm thinking I might call you

(solo)

[Verse]
So come on
Give it to me
I've been waiting all day long
Baby turn the lights on
I like it
Just like that
Go and do it one more time
Baby turn the lights on

[Chorus]
Ooh hoo
You make it so hard
For me to do right
So I don't know what I'm gonna do
Ooh hoo
I can hardly sleep
So I stay up all night
I'm thinking I might call you

(solo)

[Bridge]
I'm thinking about you all day
I can't get you out of my head
I know I said I wouldn't do it
But you're better than the rest
I'm thinking about you all day
I can't get you out of my head
I know I said I wouldn't do it
But you're better than the rest

[Verse]
So come on
Give it to me
I've been waiting all day long
Baby turn the lights on
I like it
Just like that
Go and do it one more time
Baby turn the lights on

Turn the Lights On

(Verse 1)
He came from a star, just a blink in the sky
With questions like whispers, too honest to lie
A rose in his pocket, a fox in his mind
Searching for meaning the grown-ups can't find

(Pre-Chorus)
He said, “You’re strange,” but he smiled so wide
Cause strangeness is beauty, when love is your guide

(Chorus)
You don’t see with your eyes, not the truth, not the art
The real things are hidden, you see with the heart
It’s the time that you give, not the shape or the name
That makes someone special and never the same

(solo)

(Verse 2)
He watched grown men chasing numbers and gold
But none of their riches could warm them from cold
He asked about sheep, about thorns and the stars
While pilots drew snakes and remembered old scars

(Pre-Chorus)
And though he was tiny, so quiet and light
He carried the weight of a thousand nights

(Chorus)
You don’t see with your eyes, not the truth, not the art
The real things are hidden, you see with the heart
What’s fragile can shine, what’s simple can stay
When love is the compass that shows you the way

(Bridge)
Goodbye's not forever, just part of the dance
He left with a laugh and a final glance
And somewhere out there, on a star painted gold
He watches and waits, still never grows old

(solo)

(Final Chorus)
So don’t see with your eyes, let your cold vision part
The soul’s in the silence—you see with the heart
It’s love that defines us, not title or face
It’s presence and care, not fortune or place

(Outro)
Draw me a sheep, let the world fall apart
As long as you see me—
With your heart.

See With the Heart (Little Prince Song)

Text:
(Verse 1)
They called it the bang, but it never went boom
No fire in the sky, no cosmic mushroom
No pieces flew out into dark empty halls
‘Cause there was no “outside” and no space at all

(Pre-Chorus)
It wasn’t a sound, wasn’t even a flash
It started with silence, not with a crash

(Chorus)
Just heat and time, expanding the frame
No edges, no center, no one to name
No light, no stars, just energy’s call
It started it all—
But there was no bang at all

(solo)

(Verse 2)
Everywhere, everywhen, bursting to grow
Space itself stretching—infinitely so
Not in the void, but birthing the stage
For atoms and galaxies, age after age

(Pre-Chorus)
And time was a baby, just learning to walk
The laws of the cosmos began to talk

(Chorus)
Just heat and time, no shockwave, no flame
No gods in the fire, no one to blame
The silence was sacred, the fabric was raw
It wasn’t a bang—
It was nature’s first law

(Bridge)
Now we look back through telescopes deep
Measuring echoes that galaxies keep
Microwaves singing from the first breath of time
A whisper, not thunder—no reason, no rhyme

(solo)

(Final Chorus)
So forget the word “bang”, that label’s all wrong
This song is the truth we’ve known all along
Creation was quiet, but oh, what a call—
The universe bloomed…
No bang at all.

(Outro)
No bang at all, just warmth and flow,
Expanding from nothing, and letting us grow.

No Bang At All (Just Heat and Time)

[Verse]
You call and I cry
Can't stop when I try
Your lips are sublime
And your eyes
Oh
Your eyes

[Verse 2]
Your hair is divine
You drink and I die
Your eyes are like mine
Your lies are like mine

[Chorus]
So you call and I cry
I can't stop when I try
Your lips are sublime
And your eyes
Oh
Your eyes

(solo)

[Verse 3]
Your hair is divine
You drink and I die
Your eyes are like mine
Your lies are like mine

[Chorus]
So you call and I cry
I can't stop when I try
Your lips are sublime
And your eyes
Oh
Your eyes

[Verse 4]
Your hair is divine
You drink and I die
Your eyes are like mine
Your lies are like mine

(solo)

[Chorus]
So you call and I cry
I can't stop when I try
Your lips are sublime
And your eyes
Oh
Your eyes

Our Love Is Divine

Text:
[Verse 1]
He talks so loud, like he’s seen the sky,
Claims he’s got the answers, don’t ask why.
But scratch that shell, there’s not much inside,
A sea of “maybe” in a tide of pride.

Thinks he's a master of every scene,
Cites two memes and a blog that's mean.
No shame, no depth, no nuance seen –
Still preaching loud like a damn machine.

[Pre-Chorus]
But the truth, it ain’t that slick,
Takes time, not just a clever trick.
Wisdom whispers, pride will shout,
The real ones know – they still doubt.

[Chorus]
They got confidence without a clue,
High on ego, low on view.
Dunning-Kruger in full bloom,
The blind parade into the room.
But facts don’t flinch, and truth don’t bend –
Ignorance ain't a lifelong trend.

(solo)

[Verse 2]
She mocks the doc, won’t trust the shot,
Reads one post, thinks she knows the lot.
Science is slow, but it aims to see,
Not just dance in certainty.

But in a world of endless feed,
The shallow voices plant their seed.
Louder than the quiet wise,
Truth drowned out by sweetened lies.

[Chorus]
They got confidence without a clue,
High on ego, low on view.
Dunning-Kruger in full bloom,
The blind parade into the room.
But facts don’t flinch, and truth don’t bend –
Ignorance ain't a lifelong trend.

(solo)

[Bridge – Spoken/Beat Breakdown]
The less you know, the more you glow –
In your self-made expert show.
But humility is knowing when
To listen, learn, and try again.

[Outro Chorus]
So raise your glass to those who seek,
Who ask, who doubt, who dare to be weak.
'Cause knowing you're small is the smartest part –
That's the wisdom, that’s the art.

Confidence Without Clue (The Dunning-Kruger Blues)

Text:
[Verse 1]
Out in the black, 4 billion years away,
A heartbeat flared, then slipped away.
First, a bang – bright like a god's goodbye,
Then silence... wait – another cry.

Twice it burned, twice it died,
A cosmic scream, the laws defied.
We watched the sky, jaws open wide,
How can a dead star still ignite?

[Chorus]
Boom – then again, it cracked the void,
A stellar ghost that time destroyed.
Light years screaming through the dark,
Like a final breath that left a mark.
Twice dead, but never gone –
This is where the stars belong.

(solo)

[Verse 2]
They called it a Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transient,
Science had no script, it wasn’t convenient.
No one told the cosmos how to play,
It just danced its wild ballet.

Fusion, pressure, iron core,
Collapse, rebound – and then some more.
Even Einstein would’ve stared,
Shocked the math was unprepared.

[Bridge – Spoken word / FX underlay]
We think we know...
But the universe is chaos wrapped in rhythm,
truth laced with surprise.
A star dies not once... but twice.
What else do we still not see?

(solo)

[Final Chorus – extended, layered vocals]
Boom – a flash of ancient flame,
Echoes scream your stellar name.
Dead but dancing, torn apart,
Twice you broke the dark with art.
No politician made this light –
This was born of time and night.

[Outro – slow, fading]
And while we fight about borders and pride,
The stars keep dying…
…beautifully, far and wide.

The Lament of the Boring Drones

Text:
[Verse]
You know I
I have never been the one
To bite my tongue
And oh
I have never been the one
To trust someone

[Pre-Chorus]
But lately
I feel the love
With every stranger
And now
Oh
Oh
Oh

[Chorus]
When I look at the stars
I see your face
In the people I meet
The tears I taste
In the stories I hear and the hands I hold
I feel you
I see you
I hear you
When I look at the stars

(solo)

[Verse]
I see
Strangers on a subway car
With crying eyes
They don't
Need to say a word
'cause I
See you in their smile

[Pre-Chorus]
And when I look at the stars
I see your face in the night sky
Oh
Oh
Oh

[Chorus]
When I look at the stars
I see your face
In the people I meet
The tears I taste
In the stories I hear and the hands I hold
I feel you
I see you
I hear you
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars

(solo)

[Chorus]
When I look at the stars
I see your face
In the people I meet
The tears I taste
In the stories I hear and the hands I hold
I feel you
I see you
I hear you
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars

When I Look at the Stars

Text:
[Intro – spoken, news voice]
They say it's chaos, they say it’s war...
But have they checked the numbers before?
Germany – danger? Better check that score.

[Verse 1 – mit ruhigem Flow]
Every day a new claim flies,
“They're killing in the streets” – but it’s built on lies.
'Cause in real life, stats don’t cry:
0.9 per 100k – that’s low worldwide.

Compare that number, take it wide,
Latin towns? It's 20x high.
Caribbean heat, cartel tide –
Germany’s calm on the darker side.

[Pre-Chorus – gesprochen wie ein TV-Einspieler]
"Fast alle Mordfälle in Deutschland werden aufgeklärt."
Yeah, you heard it right – nearly all solved tight.
Justice here ain’t blind – it’s bright.

[Chorus – mit starker Hook, leicht gesungen]
They talk that fear, we bring the facts,
It’s not what they say on viral tracks.
Look at the data, drop the hate,
Germany’s not in a murder state.
No jungle here, no cartel call –
It’s calm, it’s clear, not chaos at all.

(solo)

[Verse 2 – mehr Wut, aber faktenfest]
Some countries fight with guns in hand,
We fight trolls with truth, not sand.
No knife waves, no lawless nights,
This ain’t the place of random fights.

East Asia’s cool? We’re close to that.
EU map? We’re wearing the safest hat.
No wild west, no daily doom –
The only loud bang’s in your Youtube room.

[Bridge – ruhig, emotional]
Stop feeding fear, stop selling dread,
Tell our youth what’s real instead.
We got peace, we got law,
Not perfect – but way above the flaw.

(solo)

[Final Chorus – Refrain + Call]
They talk that fear, we bring the facts,
It’s not what they say on viral tracks.
Don’t fall for lies, don’t buy that bait,
Truth still matters – and it’s not too late.
Germany stands, no need to crawl –
Just check the facts – we’re not in free fall.

[Outro – Stille mit Echoeffekt]
Fear is profit.
Truth is quiet.
But we make it loud.

Not What They Say (Facts Over Fear)

Text:
I survived.
Cut open, stitched back,
barely breathing,
but I'm here.

Intensive care –
a theater of fading lights
and ghostly beeps.
So many stories unraveling at once.
Too many hearts breaking silently.

There’s a room down the hall,
with an old woman —
still alive.
Somehow.
Somehow.

Her family visits.
Tight smiles.
Plastic concern.
They whisper,
“She made it… but what now?”
Not the victory they imagined.
Not the story they rehearsed.

She hears them.
Half-asleep, half-dreaming,
but she feels the disappointment
like a knife twisting slow.

They sing her songs —
childhood lullabies now dripping with fake tears.
Crocodile sadness.
A performance for guilt,
not love.

She smiles anyway.
A cracked, fragile thing.
Because even now,
she loves them.

But they…
they grieve their own inconvenience.
They mourn a version of her
that’s gone.

And I watch —
fury rising in my healing chest.
This isn't grief.
This is betrayal.
They call it care.
But it's just cold calculation.

“She’s alive,” they say,
like it’s a burden.
“She needs help,”
like it's a curse.

She should have died cleanly, right?
Without the mess,
without the effort,
without the slow decay
of your comfort.

Cold hearts.
That’s what this play is.
Cold.
Detached.
Arrogant in their mourning.

She’s not gone yet,
but you’ve buried her already.
And when she finally leaves,
you’ll cry again —
louder, even.
But it won’t be sorrow.
It’ll be relief.

And that’s the tragedy.
Not her suffering —
but yours.
Your refusal
to love her
the way she deserved.

Cold Hearts

Text:
Life…
Always a surprise.
Not always a good one.

Today, I met this guy outside.
Coughing his lungs out —
a mess.
Gross.

Then the doctor shows up,
calm voice,
trying to help.
Says,
"You’d do better in a care facility.
You need more help than we can give here."

And the guy?
Shrugs.
"Don’t care," he says.
In my head, I snap: What an asshole.

(Guitar-Solo)

Then —
his wife arrives.
Old too.
Fragile.
Dragging her steps like she’s wading through water.

And still —
she lays out his things.
Prepares everything.
Quiet. Loving.
Routine.

And I lose it.
I yell at him:
"Hey! You’ve got a good woman!
She’s doing everything for you —
the least you can do is help her back!"

But she defends him.
Tells me he’s been smoking all his life.
Still does.
That cough? It’s his own fault.

I know that cough.
I have it too.
Fresh out of surgery,
lungs still burning,
and I know who to blame.
Me.

But he won’t own it.
Not even a little.
Nah.
He’s too far gone in denial.

So I tell him:
We’ve been living a lie.
Fed by the tobacco machine,
marketed like gods,
dying like dogs.

But who lit the cigarettes?
We did.
Millions of us.
We made those damn companies rich.
Lit up the night sky
with their profits
and our lungs.

And did they stop?
Nope.
Now it’s vapes.
With four times the nicotine.
Four times the poison.
Wrapped in candy flavors
for kids.

And what do we do?
We just watch.
We just scroll.
We just let it happen.

(Guitar-Solo)

Again.
And again.
And again.

This world fucks us.
Every time.
We know it,
but we light another one anyway.
