Deep Green Sea

Silence in my heart
babbling people around me
I do not listen

Fallen leaves at night
who can say where they’re blowing
like nightmares that fade

Last weekend, we talked about birthdays and other situations where people congratulate someone and noticed that it’s somehow paradoxical to say… well, at least it’s the case in the German language… “Herzlichen Glueckwunsch zum Geburtstag” to that someone, because, actually, we have to congratulate his/her parents with “Herzlichen Glueckwunsch”, because THEY made it happen that this someone found his/her way to the world and not this someone him-/herself. In the same way, it’s a paradox to say “Glueckwunsch!” to someone who has won a prize in “Who is the loudest-farting person in the world?” or whatever… because, Glueck or luck, respectively (to stick to the English language), is something we wish that someone BEFORE he starts the competition/game/exam and tries to win/make it… and that someone has already had (G)lu(e)ck after he has won or made it.

It’s interesting… it just came to my mind that this is not the case when we look at the same expressions in the English language… where we would say “Happy Birthday!” (= GlueckLICHEN Geburtstag) or just “Congratulations!” and “Best wishes!”… okay, “Best wishes” is ambivalent either.

I hope I could describe this paradox reasonably… ?!

Darkness inside me
I shattered all the light bulbs
warm blood on my hands…

Stay – walk – don’t speak
today – we – will be
alright

I – hope – that you
are fine – and – remember
the walk

our walk

I walk – home, I climb the skies again
if you give me time I’ll do the same to you
time and time and time and time and time and time again
free as a bird I’ll fly until the stars collide
if something goes wrong I’ll die tonight
time and time and time and time and time and time again…

No – no – no don’t
say – some-thing good
alright

our walk

I walk – home, I climb the skies again
if you give me claws I’ll tear you up tonight
time and time and time and time and time and time again
free as a bird I’ll fly until the stars collide
if something goes wrong I’ll die tonight
time and time and time and time and time and time again…
