Lyrics:

In the quiet moments of the twilight's glow
I see the man you've come to be so bold and free
From scraped knees to your bold dreams
You've grown so much it's more than I had hoped to see

Every challenge you faced you've stood so tall
In every step in every fall I've seen you grow
From boy to man you've walked this path
Your courage shines it's all I could ever ask

Son I'm proud of you more than words can say
You've turned every stormy sea into a brighter day
On your shoulders you lift me too
In every smile my heart's renewed

Through your eyes I see a world anew
Your laughter heals your strength it pulls us through
A heart so big a spirit kind
In your light the truest joy I find

With every victory my pride swells like the tide
In every sorrow I'm right here by your side
You've taught me more than I could teach
In your love a vast endless reach

Son I'm proud of you more than words can say
You've turned every stormy sea into a brighter day
On your shoulders you lift me too
In every smile my heart's renewed

Now as the years may come and go
My love my pride it only grows
And if times get tough my dear boy know
You raise me up more than you could ever know

Son I'm proud of you more than words can say
You've turned every stormy sea into a brighter day
On your shoulders you lift me too
In every smile my heart's renewed

So here's to you my son my heart
From you I've never been apart
In every beat in every breath I take
Proud of you for every step you make

Son, I'm Proud Of You

Lyrics:

Another day, I'm running fast
Chasing shadows that don't last
Important now, or so it seems
But will it matter in my dreams?

Time slips away, like sand through my hands
Stress builds up, as life's clock demands
But in this race, what do I gain?
When all I feel is this strain

We're caught up in the moment's hue
(Moment's hue)
Forgetting what really matters, what's true
(What matters, what's true)
Wasting energy on fleeting things
While life's real melody quietly sings

Deadlines loom, notifications chime
I'm a slave to the present time
But years from now, will I recall
These urgent tasks, so pressing, so small

Breathing deep, I start to see
The bigger picture of who I could be
If I let go of the daily grind
And focus on peace of mind

We're caught up in the moment's hue
(Moment's hue)
Forgetting what really matters, what's true
(What matters, what's true)
Wasting energy on fleeting things
While life's real melody quietly sings

What if we paused, took time to reflect
On the path we're on, the life we select
Would we choose differently, rearrange
Our priorities, make a change?

We're caught up in the moment's hue
(Moment's hue)
Forgetting what really matters, what's true
(What matters, what's true)
Wasting energy on fleeting things
While life's real melody quietly sings

So let's listen close, to that gentle refrain
And find what truly eases the pain
(Eases the pain)
In life's grand story, not just today
What will matter, when we're old and grey?

What Really Matters

Lyrics:

Sitting here, lost in thoughts of you
The best thing that's ever come into view
With you, all seems possible, my guiding light
I love you, my greatest dream, shining bright

Every moment, every breath I take
Your love, a melody, my heart can't stake
Together, we're a perfect harmony
A love song written for eternity

You and I, we're two halves of a whole
Together we're complete, body and soul
In your arms, I'm where I belong
You're the love of my life, my forever song
(My forever song)

Your voice, a whisper on the breeze
Makes my heart flutter, brings me to my knees
Hand in hand, we'll face come what may
With you, my fears and doubts just fade away

Through stormy nights and sunny days
Our love lights up in a thousand ways
Two hearts beating as one, can't you see?
This is where we're meant to be

You and I, we're two halves of a whole
Together we're complete, body and soul
In your arms, I'm where I belong
You're the love of my life, my forever song
(My forever song)

When the world turns cold and gray
Your love warms me like a summer day
Our souls entwined, a love so pure
With you, I know I'll always endure

You and I, we're two halves of a whole
Together we're complete, body and soul
In your arms, I'm where I belong
You're the love of my life, my forever song

With you, the sun shines even brighter
My anchor, my rock, my faithful fighter
In this love, so deep and true
I've found my home, my heart, in you

(Ooooh, in you)
(My forever song)

My Forever Song

Inspired by the stories of HONY (Humans of New York) https://www.humansofnewyork.com/

Lyrics:

Subway lights flicker, a tapestry of faces all around
Seven forty-five, Brooklyn to Manhattan bound
Hijab, suit, sari, in this melting pot underground
Jenna's lost in thoughts of her classroom, final day before summer's sound

Eyes meet across the carriage floor
With Alejandro, street artist to his core
Who are you? Where have you been?
Your mural on 5th, I've seen where you've been

Fleeting moments, eternal dreams
Nothing's quite as it seems
In this underground serenade
Two souls, a choice to be made
We're all just passing through
But connection's always true

He stands tall, portfolio in hand, gallery ahead
She sits still, lesson plans scattered, future unclear in her head
A world of difference, yet shared hopes they both dread
"Mind the gap," the speaker blares, breaking the spell of what's unsaid

The train jerks forward, time slips away
So much to feel, so much to say
Don't go, stay, let's rewind
Your art, my words, new worlds to find

Fleeting moments, eternal dreams
Nothing's quite as it seems
In this underground serenade
Two souls, a choice to be made
We're all just passing through
But connection's always true

The train jerks forward, time slips away
So much to feel, so much to say
Don't go, stay, let's rewind
Your art, my words, new worlds to find

Fleeting moments, eternal dreams
Nothing's quite as it seems
In this underground serenade
Two souls, a choice to be made
We're all just passing through
But connection's always true

Melodies intertwine like subway lines on a map
Harmonies rise and fall like the city's heartbeat
Solo alto sax breaks free, echoing through imaginary tunnels
Ensemble rejoins, building to a crescendo of urban dreams

Screeching brakes, lights go out, passengers gasp in fright
In darkness, their hands touch, a beacon in the night
"It's okay," he whispers, her fear he aims to quell
As lights flicker back, they're no longer parallel

Fleeting moments, eternal dreams
Everything's not as it seems
In this underground serenade
Two souls, a choice being made
We're all just passing through
But connection pulls us through

The doors open wide, a new path unfolds
"Coffee?" he asks, as new stories untold
In the echoes of what might have been
They step out together, ready to begin

Parallel Lines

Lyrics:

Staring at the mirror, my reflection blurs
Sixteen candles flicker in memories that were
Prom dress in the closet, gathering dust
First kiss by the lockers, now just rust

Who's this stranger in my skin?
Where did all these chapters begin?
(Hey Siri, play my old playlist)

Kaleidoscope spinning, fragments of my life
Polaroids fading in the Instagram hype
Am I still that dreamer with stars in her eyes?
Or the cynic time's disguised?
Caught between then and now
I'm riding the undertow, somehow

Facebook tells me it's someone's birthday
A name I once knew, now just pixels away
I hover over "Call", but what would I say?
To bridges burned on graduation day

Who are we beyond our curated feed?
When algorithms dictate what we need
(Hey Alexa, what's my purpose today?)

Kaleidoscope spinning, fragments of my life
Polaroids fading in the Instagram hype
Am I still that dreamer with stars in her eyes?
Or the cynic time's disguised?
Caught between then and now
I'm riding the undertow, somehow

Facebook tells me it's someone's birthday
A name I once knew, now just pixels away
I hover over "Call", but what would I say?
To bridges burned on graduation day

Who are we beyond our curated feed?
When algorithms dictate what we need
(Hey Alexa, what's my purpose today?)

Kaleidoscope spinning, fragments of my life
Polaroids fading in the Instagram hype
Am I still that dreamer with stars in her eyes?
Or the cynic time's disguised?
Caught between then and now
I'm riding the undertow, somehow

In the space between heartbeats, I find
A moment of clarity, redefined
Not girl, not woman, but both intertwined
A tapestry of experiences, uniquely designed

Gray hairs peek through, I used to pluck them out
Now they're silver linings to stories I shout
Laugh lines map journeys I'm proud to have taken
Each scar a lesson, each freckle awakened

What defines me beyond these reflections?
When each swipe brings new connections
(Hey Google, show me who I am)

Years cascade like data, moments turned to memes
But in this digital flow, I'm more than I seem
Present in my body, my mind, my changing face
Finding beauty in every transformative trace
(Hey Google, show me who I am)

Years cascade like data, moments turned to memes
But in this digital flow, I'm more than I seem
Present in my body, my mind, my changing face
Finding beauty in every transformative trace

Kaleidoscope spinning, I'm learning to embrace
Every version of me, in this time and space
I'm the dreamer, the cynic, the in-between
Every role I've played, every screen I've seen
Bridging the gap of virtual and real
I'm writing my story, that's the deal

In this dance of pixels and time
I'm coding my own paradigm
The child I was, the sage I'll be
All part of the woman that's me

Let's go viral with our complexity
#AuthenticallySelf #BecomingMe

The Woman In The Mirror

Lyrik: (The English translation is below the German lyrics)
Ein Zittern tief in meiner Brust
Wenn alle Vernunft verstummt
Die Fessel bricht, ich hab's gewusst
Was jahrelang mich eingezwängt

Die Angst war stets mein treuer Gast
Lähmte jeden kleinen Mut
Grau lag sie schwer als dunkle Last
Erstickte meine innere Glut

Doch dann kam dieser Augenblick
Das Herz sprach lauter als der Zweifel

Es ist wie ein Erwachen
Wärme strömt von tief in mir
Meine Wahrheit will sich Bahn brechen
Sonnenstrahlen führen mich zu ihr

Wild brennt die Sehnsucht ungezähmt
Nach meinem wahren Selbst
Nicht mehr gespielt, nicht mehr verschämt
Ein Leben das mir selbst gefällt

Der Sprung ins Ungewisse
Vertrauen statt Vernunft

Ich fliege, schwebe, bin so frei
Berauscht von diesem neuen Mut
Die Ketten brechen jetzt entzwei
Es fühlt sich himmlisch an und gut

Still kommt die Erfüllung
Dies bin ich, dies ist mein Weg
Keine Selbstverleugnung
Ich tanze, wo ich früher schwieg

Die wichtigste Liebesgeschichte
Beginnt mit mir und meinem Mut
Wenn ich mich selbst nicht mehr vernichte
Wird alles leicht, wird alles gut

Himmlische Empfindung
Ich bin bei mir zuhaus

English translation:
The heart knows the way

A tremor deep in my chest
When all reason falls silent
The shackles break, I knew it
What has constrained me for years

Fear was always my faithful guest
Paralyzing every little bit of courage
Lay heavy as a dark burden
Suffocating my inner fire

But then came this moment
My heart spoke louder than doubt

It's like an awakening
Warmth flows from deep within me
My truth wants to break free
Sunbeams lead me to it

Wild, untamed longing burns
For my true self
No more pretending, no more shame
A life that I like

The leap into the unknown
Trust instead of reason

I fly, I float, I am so free
Intoxicated by this new courage
The chains are now breaking in two
It feels heavenly and good

Fulfillment comes quietly
This is me, this is my way
No self-denial
I dance where I used to be silent

The most important love story
Begins with me and my courage
When I no longer destroy myself
Everything will be easy, everything will be fine

Heavenly sensation
I am at home with myself

Das Herz kennt den Weg

Lyrik: (The English translation is below the German lyrics)
Das erste Licht berührt mein Zimmer  
Malt goldene Spuren auf die Wand
Ein warmer Hauch, kein Geisterflimmer  
Die Nacht lässt los, was sie noch fand

Auf einmal glitzert jeder Morgen  
Wie tausend Lichter überall  
Fort sind die Schatten meiner Sorgen  
Im warmen Sonnenstrahlenfall

Die Freude tanzt wie Morgentau  
Kristallklar durch meine Seele

Durch einen Sonnenstrahl  
Wird alles fresh und hell  
Das Leben zeigt sich überall  
In seiner schönsten Stell'

Mein Kaffee wird zur Symphonie  
Ein Lächeln wird mein Feuerwerk  
Ich groove zu dieser Energie  
Die in den kleinen Dingen twerkt

Wie Magie verwandelt sich  
Der gleiche Tag in Abenteuer
Die Freude war schon immer hier  
Sie wartete auf dieses Licht

Ein Sonnenstrahl genügt...  

Durch einen Sonnenstrahl  
Wird alles fresh und hell 
Das Leben zeigt sich überall  
In seiner schönsten Stell' 

Durch einen Sonnenstrahl 
Seh' ich die Welt so klar
Die Magie war immer da  
Jetzt wird sie mir offenbar

Dankbarkeit durchströmt mein Herz
Für dieses Licht, für diesen Tag

English translation:
The first light touches my room  
Paints golden traces on the wall
A warm breath, no ghostly flicker  
The night lets go of what it still found

Suddenly every morning glitters  
Like a thousand lights everywhere  
Gone are the shadows of my worries  
In the warm rays of the sun

Joy dances like morning dew  
Crystal clear through my soul

Through a ray of sunshine  
Everything becomes fresh and bright  
Life shows itself everywhere  
In its most beautiful form

My coffee becomes a symphony  
A smile becomes my fireworks  
I groove to this energy  
That twerks in the little things

Like magic,  
The same day is transformed into an adventure
Joy has always been here  
It was waiting for this light

A ray of sunshine is enough...  

Through a ray of sunshine  
Everything becomes fresh and bright 
Life shows itself everywhere  
In its most beautiful form 

Through a ray of sunshine 
I see the world so clearly
The magic was always there  
Now it is revealed to me

Gratitude flows through my heart
For this light, for this day

Sonnenstrahl

Lyrik: (The English translation is below the German lyrics)
Ein Lächeln breitet langsam sich aus
Wie Samt berührt es meine Haut
So sanft, so warm
Die Schmetterlinge wachen auf
Noch müde, doch schon fast vertraut
Erwachen langsam

Die Fragen kommen wie das Meer
Sie wiegen mich in ihrem Tanz
Wiegen sanft, wiegen sanft
Wie bunte Luftballons so schwer
Doch tragen sie schon ihre Antwort ganz
Die Antwort wartet

Es kribbelt wie Champagnerblasen
Das Herz beginnt zu rasen
Die Luft wird elektrisch
Voller Leben!
Gleich wird es die Antwort geben!

Die Antwort heißt Liebe!
Liebe! Liebe!
Sie bricht aus mir heraus!
Wie tausend Konfettikanonen
Explodiert das Glück im ganzen Haus!
Überall Glück!

Die Freude schießt durch meine Adern
Wie flüssiges Licht so hell und klar!
So hell! so klar!
Kein Zweifel kann mehr länger hadern
Die Antwort schreit ein lautes
JA! JA!... JA! JA!

Das Universum tanzt mit uns!
Mein Herz fliegt hoch hinaus!
Fliegt so hoch
Alles ist jetzt möglich!
Alles möglich!
Die Ekstase bricht aus allen Fugen aus!

Dies ist die Liebe!
Liebe!
Sie sprengt alle Ketten auf!
Sprengt sie auf!
Wild und ungezähmt!
So wild und frei!
Alles wird eins in diesem Lauf!
Alles wird eins!

Ja, dies ist die Liebe!
LIEBE IST DIE ANTWORT!
Vertrauen war die Frage!
Jetzt hab ich keine Zweifel mehr!
Keine mehr!
An diesem wunderbaren Tage!
WUNDERBAR!

Die Antwort war schon immer da
Immer da, immer da
Sie heißt Liebe, wunderbar
Liebe... Liebe...

English translation:
A smile slowly spreads
Like velvet, it touches my skin
So soft, so warm
The butterflies wake up
Still tired, but already almost familiar
Slowly awakening

The questions come like the sea
They rock me in their dance
Rocking gently, rocking gently
Like colourful balloons so heavy
But they already carry their answer
The answer is waiting

It tingles like champagne bubbles
My heart begins to race
The air becomes electric
Full of life!
The answer is coming!

The answer is love!
Love! Love!
It bursts out of me!
Like a thousand confetti cannons
Happiness explodes throughout the house!
Happiness everywhere!

Joy shoots through my veins
Like liquid light, so bright and clear!
So bright! So clear!
No doubt can linger any longer
The answer screams a loud
YES! YES!... YES! YES!

The universe dances with us!
My heart flies high!
Flying so high
Everything is possible now!
Everything is possible!
Ecstasy bursts out of every joint!

This is love!
Love!
It breaks all chains!
Breaks them open!
Wild and untamed!
So wild and free!
Everything becomes one in this run!
Everything becomes one!

Yes, this is love!
LOVE IS THE ANSWER!
Trust was the question!
Now I have no more doubts!
None!
On this wonderful day!
WONDERFUL!

The answer was always there
Always there, always there
It's called love, wonderful
Love... Love...

Die Antwort heißt Liebe

Lyrik: (The English translation is below the German lyrics)
Sieben Komma acht drei Hertz
Pulsiert durch meine Zellen
Die Frequenz von Kopf und Herz
Erdmagnetische Wellen

Ionosphäre tanzt mit Blitz
Zwischen Himmel und der Erde
Ein elektromagnetischer Witz
Dass ich Teil des Ganzen werde

Disconnected war mein Geist
Bis die Resonanz mich fand

Wir schwingen mit dem Planeten
Synapsen synchronisiert
Alpha-Wellen wie Gebete
Die Erde dirigiert

Tesla wusste, Schumann maß
Was die Mystiker schon ahnten
Meditation trifft Wissenschaft
Auf denselben Frequenzbahnen

Dein Nervensystem schwingt mit mir
Mein Theta-Zustand spiegelt dich
Verschränkte Quanten, ich und wir
Die Grenze löst sich auf für mich

Vom ersten Atmen an verbunden
Mit jedem Baum und jedem Stein
In Hertz gemessen, nicht in Stunden
Getrennt sein ist nur Schein

Das erste Atmen nach dem Sturm
War Einklang mit der Welt
Kein isolierter Turm
Der außerhalb sich hält

Sieben Komma acht drei
Wir sind frei

English translation:
Seven point eight three hertz
Pulsing through my cells
The frequency of my head and heart
Geomagnetic waves

The ionosphere dances with lightning
Between heaven and earth
An electromagnetic joke
That I become part of the whole

My mind was disconnected
Until resonance found me

We vibrate with the planet
Synapses synchronised
Alpha waves like prayers
The Earth conducts

Tesla knew, Schumann measured
What the mystics already sensed
Meditation meets science
On the same frequency channels

Your nervous system vibrates with me
My theta state mirrors you
Entangled quanta, me and us
The boundary dissolves for me

Connected from the first breath
With every tree and every stone
Measured in Hertz, not in hours
Being separate is only an illusion

The first breath after the storm
Was harmony with the world
No isolated tower
Standing outside

Seven point eight three
We are free

Schumann Resonanz

"Let's Try Again" - Edeltraud Trncik feat. Viktor Trncik

A song about second chances, originally written in 2010, 
now remastered and reimagined in 2025 with full orchestral arrangement.

When a singer-songwriter and an engineer-musician create together,
magic happens. This is our invitation: Let's Try Again.

🎹 Piano, Strings, Guitar, Bass, Drums
⏱️ 3:14
📍 Freiburg, Germany
💙 For everyone who believes in second chances

Lyrics:
How do I know that I've loved you all this time
Does it surprise you all that we turn around and smile
And I've been waiting for an invitation to your life
I've said what's now in this note that I leave on your pillow
So why don't we try again
Why don't we try again

And if they could see us
They might say what you said last year
And if we could change them
We'd be lovers again not friends
Well I've been waiting for an invitation to your love
I said in this note I left on your pillow
What now
Why don't we try again
Why don't we try again

Yes tonight I can hear you whisper
The words you would say if we were honest
Tonight I could feel it when you were next to me
And baby it's so clear to me that we can go back
And I've been waiting for an invitation to your life
So why don't we try again
Why don't we try again
Darling take my hand I promise you it won't be like before
But darling baby we can try again

And just pretend nothing happened
Let me look into your eyes
Then we'll kiss and take it slow
But I always knew that I love you

Let's Try Again

Philosophisches Duett über die zeitlose Weisheit, dass wahres 
Glück nicht im Ankommen, sondern im bewussten Gehen liegt. 
Chamber Folk mit Cello/Violin-Arrangements, progressive Taktarten 
(7/8, 5/4) und zwei Stimmen, die Generationen verbinden. 
Für Fans von Sufjan Stevens, Fleet Foxes und moderner Kammermusik.

Lyrik: (The English translation is below the German lyrics)
Im Morgengrauen der Seele erwacht
Ein rastlos Herz, das nach dem Horizont sich sehnt
Die Ungeduld der Zeit hat uns gemacht
Zu Jägern, die dem nächsten Glück entgegen gehen

Immer rennen, niemals ankommen hier
Zwischen Atemzügen hält die Zeit still
Ein Zauber webt sich leise, sanft wie Schnee
Zeigt den Weg, den ich schon immer gehen will

Die Wahrheit liegt so nah
War immer schon da
In uns

Es gibt keinen Weg zum Glück
Glück ist der Weg, den wir gehen
In jedem kleinen Augenblick
Kann ich die ganze Welt schon sehen
Nicht am Ende wartet das Gefühl
Nein, es tanzt in jedem Schritt
Das Leben ist kein fernes Ziel
Es singt in unserem Rhythmus mit

Zwischen Anfang und Ende
Zwischen Traum und dem Erwachen
Leben wir

Der Duft von Regen auf dem warmen Asphalt
Ein Lachen das von tief im Herzen kommt
Die Wärme einer Umarmung ungezählt
Das ist das Glück, das in uns wohnt

Nicht wischen nach dem Glück, wisch als das Glück
Die junge Seele spürt es schon so lang
Zwischen Hetze und dem Stillstand liegt der Trick
Im bewussten Gehen liegt der Klang

Es gibt keinen Weg zum Glück
Glück ist der Weg, den wir gehen
In jedem kleinen Augenblick
Kann ich die ganze Welt schon sehen
Die Revolution ist nicht das Ankommen
Sie lebt im bewussten Sein
In jedem Jetzt ist alles gewonnen
Der Weg selbst lädt uns ein

Der Weg selbst ist das Geschenk

English translation:
At dawn, the soul awakens
A restless heart that longs for the horizon
The impatience of time has made us
Hunters who pursue the next bit of happiness

Always running, never arriving here
Between breaths, time stands still
A spell weaves itself quietly, gently like snow
Showing me the path I've always wanted to take

The truth is so close
It was always there
Within us

There is no path to happiness
Happiness is the path we walk
In every little moment
I can already see the whole world
The feeling doesn't wait at the end
No, it dances with every step
Life is not a distant goal
It sings along with our rhythm

Between beginning and end
Between dream and awakening
We live

The scent of rain on warm asphalt
A laugh that comes from deep within the heart
The warmth of countless hugs
That is the happiness that dwells within us

Don't wipe away happiness, wipe away as happiness
The young soul has felt it for so long
Between rushing and standing still lies the trick
In conscious walking lies the sound

There is no path to happiness
Happiness is the path we walk
In every little moment
I can already see the whole world
The revolution is not the arrival
It lives in conscious being
In every now, everything is won
The path itself invites us

The path itself is the gift

Der Weg ist das Glück

✨ "Im Mysterium liegt nicht das Ende der Suche, 
    sondern der Anfang des Staunens." ✨

feat. Piano, Acoustic Guitar, Cello, Violin, Tabla, Celtic Bodhrán

Lyrik: (The English translation is below the German lyrics)

Die Stille hält den Atem an
Ein Kribbeln zart wie Morgentau
Das erste Licht kündigt sich an  
Noch unsichtbar, doch ich vertrau

Ein Pulsieren tief in mir erwacht
Wie Blüten sich dem Morgen neigen
Die Spannung zwischen Tag und Nacht
Will mir den Weg zum Wunder zeigen

Und dann bricht es über mich herein
Das Staunen macht mich klein und groß
Ich tanze in dem goldnen Schein
Das Leben strömt so grenzenlos
Die Tränen und das Lachen sind vereint
Das Geheimnisvolle lebt in mir

Ein Samt-Vertrauen trägt mich fort
Ins Unbekannte ohne Bangen
Ich weiß, an jedem Zauberort
Wird Neues meine Seele fangen

Von Furcht zu tiefer Faszination
Die Kontrolle darf sich lösen  
Wie Nebel in der Morgensonne schon
Erkenn ich: Suchen ist Erlösen
Ich schwebe zwischen Traum und Wachen

Das Ego schmilzt, wird Sternenstaub
Die Antwort war schon immer da

"Ooh-ah-ah-oh-ee-ay-oh..."

Überwältigt sink ich in den Glanz
Die Gabe des Staunens macht mich reich
Ein triumphales "Ja" zum Tanz  
Das Leben singt unendlich reich
Ich komme heim ins Mysterium
Nicht an einen Ort, in einen Traum

Die Stille kehrt zurück und lächelt sacht
Das Mysterium hat uns heimgebracht
Der Kreis schließt sich in Ewigkeiten

Das Schönste, was wir erleben können, ist das Geheimnisvolle...

English translation:

The silence holds its breath
A tingling as delicate as morning dew
The first light announces itself  
Still invisible, but I trust

A pulsation awakens deep within me
Like blossoms bending towards the morning
The tension between day and night
Wants to show me the way to wonder

And then it breaks over me
The wonder makes me small and great
I dance in the golden glow
Life flows so boundlessly
Tears and laughter are united
The mysterious lives within me

A velvety confidence carries me away
Into the unknown without fear
I know that in every magical place
Something new will capture my soul

From fear to deep fascination
Control may be released  
Like mist in the morning sun
I realise: searching is redemption
I float between dream and wakefulness

The ego melts, becomes stardust
The answer was always there

‘Ooh-ah-ah-oh-ee-ay-oh...’

Overwhelmed, I sink into the splendour
The gift of wonder makes me rich
A triumphant ‘yes’ to dance  
Life sings infinitely rich
I come home to mystery
Not to a place, but to a dream

Silence returns and smiles gently
Mystery has brought us home
The circle closes in eternity

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious...

Lyrik: (The English translation is below the German lyrics)
Die Luft wird dick, ich kann nicht atmen
In diesem Raum der nicht mir gehört
Wie Tropfen fallen leise Fragen
Auf eine Stille, ungestört

Ich kenn' den Vogel in der Brust
Der gegen deine Rippen schlägt
Zwischen Angst und stillem Mut
Liegt der Weg, der dich trägt

Doch da ist diese Stimme tief in mir
Die schon immer da war...
...still und klar

Ich geh durch die Wand
Die aus Erwartung gebaut
Mit zitternder Hand
Mal' dir deine neue Haut
Durch die Wand... neue Haut...

Der erste Riss...
...ein leises "Nein"
Wird zum "Ja"...
...zu allem was du bist
Nicht mehr zu klein, nicht mehr allein
Finden unseren eigenen Sinn

Wie wenn man nach langem Tauchen
nach langem Tauchen
Die Oberfläche durchbricht!
Kann endlich atmen
Endlich glauben
Und alles wird zu Licht
Das Licht... das Licht...

"Ich sehe dich..."
...ich sehe mich..."
"Wir sehen uns!"

Nach dem Durchbruch dieser Stille
Wundere mich über den neuen Raum
Sterne erscheinen, tausend Wege
War das alles nur ein Traum?
Nein... das bist du.

Ich bin durch die Wand
Die aus falschen Träumen war
Mit sicherer Hand
Nehm' ich den Platz der immer mein war

Ich bin durch die Wand
Atme tief in deiner Haut
In diesem neuen Land
Wo wir uns selbst ein Zuhause bau'n
Ein Zuhause bau'n...

Es ist okay...
...anders zu sein
Mit all meinen...
...unseren Ecken und Kanten
Ich nehme den Raum ein, der mir gehört
Genau so wie ich bin

Genau so...
...wie du bist

Die Luft ist leicht, ich kann jetzt atmen
In diesem Raum, der endlich mir gehört

Lyrics:
The air is thick, I can't breathe
In this room that doesn't belong to me
Like drops, questions fall silently
On a silence, undisturbed

I know the bird in my chest
That beats against your ribs
Between fear and quiet courage
Lies the path that carries you

But there is this voice deep inside me
That has always been there...
...quiet and clear

I walk through walls
Built of expectation
With a trembling hand
Paint your new skin
Through the wall... new skin...

The first crack...
...a quiet "no"
Becomes a "yes"...
...to everything you are
No longer too small, no longer alone
Finding our own meaning

Like when, after a long dive
after a long dive
You break through the surface!
Can finally breathe
Finally believe
And everything becomes light
The light... the light...

"I see you..."
...I see myself..."
"We see each other!"

After the breakthrough of this silence
I marvel at the new space
Stars appear, a thousand paths
Was it all just a dream?
No... it's you.

I'm through the wall
That was made of false dreams
With a steady hand
I take the place that was always mine

I'm through the wall
Breathe deeply in your skin
In this new land
Where we build ourselves a home
Build a home...

It's okay...
...to be different
With all my...
...our rough edges
I take up the space that belongs to me
Just the way I am

Exactly as...
...as you are

The air is light, I can breathe now
In this space that finally belongs to me

Durch die Wand

Hello, I'm Edeltraud Trncik, a songwriter who's been weaving melodies and lyrics for a long time. Music has been my faithful companion throughout this journey, inspiring me to create a diverse collection of songs that reflect my personal experiences and the world around me.

My passion lies in crafting heartfelt ballads. I pour my emotions and stories into each composition, striving to create authentic connections through my music. However, I always make sure to leave room for intuition and personal expression in my songwriting process.

I've been making music as a hobby alongside my husband. This partnership has been a source of joy and creativity, allowing us to grow together both personally and artistically. The synergy we've developed over the years shines through in every song we create.
Until now, I've primarily written songs for my own enjoyment and expression.
My songwriting draws inspiration from my own life experiences and current events that touch me. I believe that music has the power to tell stories, evoke emotions, and create connections. 
Through my songs, I invite listeners to see the world through my eyes - a world filled with melodies that speak to the heart and soul
