[Rough translation]
FOR THE SAKE OF A QUIET LIFE*
In the mirror she sees her mother
In the mirror she sees her husband
She sees her brother
She sees her father
As in an interrogation
Their eyes a blinding light
They ask no questions
They see through her 
and judge
They form the reflection
Of her appearance
Where she herself 
Has disappeared

For the sake of a quiet life
She tucks her thoughts
For the sake of a quiet life
She tucks her mind
For the sake of a quiet life
She tucks her feelings
For the sake of a quiet life
That has never been quiet

Every day she’s thin and modest
Every day she’s nice and smart
Makes herself useful
Being everything for everyone
She is who she thinks
They want her to be

She is who she thinks they want her to be
She is who she thinks they want her to be

Once she colored outside the lines
Danced and sang as if no one was watching
While playing she saw boundaries disappear
And her curiosity won over fear
Now she dares not to choose herself
She is guided by other people's taste
Love and friendship, you can lose
So she adapts and she perfectly fits
She is really perfect

She can't find the courage
She does what she always does

For the sake of a quiet life
She tucks her thoughts
For the sake of a quiet life
She tucks her mind
For the sake of a quiet life
She tucks her feelings
For the sake of a quiet life
That has never been quiet

She is who she thinks they want her to be
She is who she thinks they want her to be

* Literally translated it is: for the sake of sweet peace
(that has never been sweet).

Lyrics below. Version remastered by verywellproject.com (released Dec 4, 2021)

Do you happen to be happy
Even though your life seems crappy
(For) those who like their judgments snappy
Do your best, however scrappy

People think you may be crazy
For others you might seem just lazy
Visions sometimes can be hazy
Path to fame is often mazy





Happen To Be Happy

Hate Me (juice WRLD/Ellie Goulding)

You tried to find your way in this sad and wicked place
but all your good intentions got thrown back in your face.
Everyone eventually gets pulled into the race,
gets swallowed and digested if they don't keep up the pace.

Climbing up the ladder in this sad and wicked time,
how to get ahead is all that's on your mind.
Honesty and ethics abandoned on the way...
the payout makes it worth it: you're a richer man today.

Take the money and run, you whore. Grab what you can, find the back door.
Presidents do it, so it's ok. Deal with your conscience some other day.

[C] And go along to get along, it's what's done...right or wrong.
Don't rock the boat and don't make waves, while you're digging your own graves.

Now you are a leader in this sad and wicked land
raking in the rewards of all your greedy plans.
Rolling in the spoils of all that you could steal,
and no one dares to ask you, how do you really feel?

There is no center, nothing can hold and all your futures are bought and sold.
It doesn't matter what the rich folks do, 'cause just admit it, you'd do it too.

Do it for the money all that awesome money 
tasty yummy money happy happy money
you're worthless without money 
bad people don't like money 
what's wrong with them anyway?
They should get with the program.

Mistakes Have Been Made

Go Along to Get Along

06 - Go Along To Get Along

Ogre's Laugh

With a canon’s crash and the Ogre’s laugh
The wounded shuffled in, drank their fiery gin, and so did I

In the highland grass, at the winders pass, the dreary fought the wind
As their demons did them in and so did I

So did I light the fire, burning towards my head
So did I light the fire and begin

When the marbles rolled on the burglar's soul
The badges muscled in, burned their frozen chins and so did I

Blessing drunken slurs with a five-grain cure
The dragons found the grail, they tipped the holy scales and so did I

So did I light the fire, burning towards my head
So did I light the fire and begin

You hear the chorus of the trees, they sing of things you cannot see
That the wind and the seasons are alive, and the hardest battles are the ones inside,
for life, for life

So I sing my tale of a love derailed and the cargo that was lost,
nailed onto a cross with you and I

And though we sit, in the devil’s pit, our chorus won’t be long,
'cause freedom is a song of you and "I"

So did I light the fire, burning towards my head
So did I light the fire and begin

Ogre's Laugh
