When you're like that you're no one

As a kid I was calm
The silence before a storm

This life is a mess
This life is a beautiful mess

I grew into my mother-of-pearl fish scale skin
Last but not least
I've been lost in this endless world's mist
Now I gracefully win

I fell in love with my voice
and my strength and my fears
They mean i fight for the treasure deep inside me
And sometimes, you know, i become the villain here

So now I sing from my rock in the midst of the sea
I sing for myself, but the sailors hear me
i mislead them by mistake and they often find death
But I will continue my song 
For as long as I have 
 
Every note that drips from my lips
lits a spark of insanity on a distant ship
It begins with one man
who begins to hum
they think they understand
but actually only does one

So i sing and sing for days and nights 
Waiting for my sailor to arrive
I spotted him wide in the west
I sing and wait for him to open his chest
His treasure is safe with me
And so is the rest

Silence Of The Siren (Messy Original)

Lost In The Woods

demons (Demo Song)

She does not know what to sing – anymore
a siren lost her voice 
her words reached too many men 
now it's only noise  

she searches for words that hurt
for a message from below the waves 
she listens to the sea 
what she does not comprehend /understand
 is that she should listen to me / is that she is me 

i beat against my cage's bars 
once i screamed, but now i whisper 
in total darkness we see the stars 
my tears they are now two rivers 

She's adamant to swim in real waters 
but refuses to climb inside 
she's longing for my feelings 
yet can't distinguish truth from lie

A Siren's Heart

Lyrics:
Men are the beauties of this world
Like mate dancing birds
But women are digging through the dirt, 
They are feeling the hurt to birth better worlds
Just a feeling, just a stubborn thought

And our voices get loud
They try to silence us
So let us shout 2x
But we don’t declare wars
We carry peace in our bags, we carry white flags and stars

We bring a new horizon
The one they never reached
We speak the truth
We can teach you too
Let softness be the only way to lead
Also inside me

The Only Way To Lead

This track is about my soul mate and what reminds me of him.

Lyrics:
The color of war and blood which is red
The color green and blue
They remind me of you 2x

The sun and its burning passion
Its example of vital light 
The passiveness of the moon
The sea and its fearful sailors remind me of you
The desert with its millions and millions of sand grains
How it could bloom with a handful of seeds and a mouthful of rain
How the midnight wolf follows me home
His blood red eyes glued to the loneliness of my soul
Carrying heavily, trust issues, abandonment wounds
And shame, yeah sometimes shame to the bone

The color of war and blood which is red
The color green and blue
They remind me of you

And the insides of my loving, beating, bleeding heart do too

The Color of War and Blood (Strings Version)

Lyrics:
The sun and its burning passion
Its example of vital light
The passiveness of the moon
The sea and its fearful sailors remind me of you
The desert with its millions and millions of sand grains
How it could bloom with a handful of seeds and a mouthful of rain
How the midnight wolf follows me home
His blood red eyes glued to the loneliness of my soul
Carrying heavily, trust issues, abandonment wounds
And shame, yeah sometimes shame to the bone

The color of war and blood which is red
The color green and blue
They remind me of you

And the insides of my loving, beating, bleeding heart do too

the color of war and blood (piano version)

About perseverence in emotionally difficult times + keeping the focus on the goal

Lyrics:
Light house, light house
So lonely on the cliff
2 giants want to play with you,
It’s the ocean it’s the wind 

One licks at your feet 
The other blows you a kiss 
You have to stand tall through it
And ignore their bliss

Light house, light house 
The sailors trust you from afar 
You are their only hope 
In their world of turmoil and sharks 
They want to reach your safe shore

So be the stubborn, focused and the strong 
The odds may know for how long
Until the mornings come 2x

Lighthouse, oh lighthouse
So strong-willed and stiff


Lighthouse, Lighthouse

My track is about a female "messiah", I think. I haven't figured it out quite yet, the lyrics came to me in a dream at night, also the melody. I took notes and recorded a rough audio, then went back to sleep. 

The lyrics:
She’s no rest for you,
no rest for me

She shows you what the world should be

She ruffles our feathers,
brings us closer together

She comes in times of need and despair

She is the only true heir of Mother Earth and father Sky

She is the one winged

She is the one to teach us fly


No Rest For You

Lyrics:
Every tiny little song
is a poem to prolong
This vision of us in the eye of a storm
Rather it is turning into a reason to mourn
Something that will never come
It’s hanging by a thread once strong
What has this become?

Mourn

Best part: 0:54 min
Lyrics:
If I only get half a smile
Couldn't bear living that kind of lie
If you don't hang on my lips
For every word for every kiss
I would rather miss it

When I love I make it swim or sink with the ship

If our love is not the moon, waiting for the sun, at dawn
If you want to dance with a mask on
We wouldn't have won 2x
If we arent the sky’s longing for the sea
So they unite in the mist you can breathe
it’s not you and me
If you don’t want to be united on the horizont, seemingly (I accidentally used the German word for horizon :D)
I don't even want to meet

If (Demo)

Lyrics:
I know people who are like willow-the-wisps
One led me into darkness with his fake light
All of them own blackhole hearts
They mastered some shadowy form of art
They can act and they can dance
To distract you from the dying stars behind ribs' bars

Blackhole Hearts

Lyrics:
Tell me about the rain
When the sun’s up in the sky
Tell my about your pain
When no cloud is near by

Chorus:
I don’t want go into the dark
I just want to know where I can light my spark
inside your soul inside your heart
When you need it so
We’re never really in the dark

Tell me about the sad child of the past
Grown man who lost his ma
Whisper the words which would never last
Entering their ear cups but never their hearts

Chorus ...

Tell Me About The Rain

Lyrics:
She loves a sailor/stranger

A sailor that has become frightened of the sea 
Is of no use for his grim mother 
“Now, who earns the money?”, 
she yells while cutting the heads off of dead eels

The village’s houses built on high stakes are green from algae 
Under them the waves break 
Everyone but Gideon feels homely serenity

Out of the windows yellow candlelight flows 
Like every night they gather at his mother’s house 
She fills eel soup into tin plates
 But the not sailing sailor stands outside in the quivering shades

Gideon Part 1

Meaning behind: 
The perception of being made ugly/manipulated into thinking of oneself as the problem; also a hint to body dysmorphia

Lyrics:
She wants to fights herself because the love because the love because the love is over
She wants to cry by herself until her heart until her heart until her heart is sober

And the pretty little girl became the ugly woman
Never felt seen rather watched like Truman
She had never seen herself as a complete human
Rather felt she partly was a lonely/an abandoned alien

Everybody ripped out what they needed
A part of her holy heart
And then in church they got seated
Blamed her for the holes in her heart

Blamed her for The blood she bled
She never got fed
What she needed so bad

At least they told her it’s all in her head
