Everything's Gonna Be Alright

No One Tells You When It Starts is about the kind of change that doesn’t make a sound. A street corner, a faded memory, a version of yourself that never quite arrived — this is a story told in fragments. It’s not about the big moments, but the quiet unraveling of what once felt permanent. Some things slip away without warning. And some words stay stuck inside, long after it’s too late to say them.



No One Tells You When It Starts erzählt von den Veränderungen, die still passieren. Eine Straßenecke, eine Erinnerung, eine Version von dir selbst, die nie ganz geworden ist – dieser Song spricht von Momenten, die niemand bemerkt, und doch alles verändern. Nicht das Große, sondern das leise Verschwinden steht im Mittelpunkt. Manches geht, bevor man es merkt. Und manches bleibt ungesagt, bis es zu spät ist.


No one tells you when it starts

Just Another Love Song

[Instrumental Intro]

I’m staring out the window,
the landscape blurs like a dream.
Long lines of lights go streaming by,
like frames from a silent scene.

Painted ribbons in the sky,
I caught you once with just one eye,
through the glass of my train car door —
you passed by,
smiling gently,
your hair caught in the breeze.

⸻

[Bridge]

And it feels a little foolish
pretending I don’t see,
pretending I don’t feel you
still turning back in me.

Those strands of hair
caught in the draft,
brushing lips and eyes —
you’re still so beautiful.

⸻

[Verse]

I remember us,
standing at the platform edge,
as time just stood and waited,
the crowd passed like a blur —
but there was only hush,
and the dark,
and your beating heart…

Until I opened my eyes.

⸻

[Refrain]

It was long ago,
and maybe not even real,
just a memory lost in the morning mist,
tucked in the bottom drawer I never open.

⸻

[Bridge – reprise]

And now you walk past my window again…

It feels so strange,
pretending I don’t see,
pretending I don’t feel again,
pretending I don’t glance
toward those half-closed doors
across the aisle.

⸻

[Instrumental Intermezzo]

It was long ago,
and maybe not even real,
just a memory lost in the morning mist,
tucked in the bottom drawer I never open.

⸻

[Outro Verse]

I rush out after you,
catching luck in a butterfly net —
and somehow I know I’ve caught you,
I’ve caught you…

⸻

[Bridge – outro]

Just you and me,
and never alone…

[Instrumental Outro]
