keine Schönheit ohne Gefahr




Once again
at the edge
so close to the edge
ready
from one or the other
side to fall
damned fall
damned fall
don't grab on
listen!
no beauty without danger
without danger
no beauty without danger
without danger
danger
at the edge
damned fall
fall
fallen
fallen without danger
no beauty without danger
no beauty without danger
and no love
also no love
without danger
without danger
without danger

if only there would be enough doubt all forces would be suspendend, but there's never enough doubt.

6!











youme knows what meyou wants, 
meyou knows what youme wants, 
and it's granted
they defend each other against the past
if the future isn't bright at least it's colourful
so burn the ship come spring

herzschwanger. in erwartung.

Boreas

thaw. unfreezing.
Will the dwindling ice bear our weight much longer?
calm. windless.
When comes the wind that billows our words' sails?
heart pregnant. in expectation.
Will it be a south wind that drives us to the north?
small ice age. foundlings.
Or will only Boreas get us on
the desired course?
in no time.
What nameless others does the storm which seizes us now already carry?
only glacier comrades
Is it certain that the land in sight is not part of the Arctic?
it's already taken so long...

[original:
tauwetter. schmelzfvorgänge.
Schwindet unter uns nicht allmählich das tragende Eis?
flaute. windstill.
Wann kommt der Wind der unsrer Worte Segel bläht ?
herzschwanger. in erwartung.
Wird es ein Südwind sein der uns nach Norden treibt?
kleine eiszeit. findlinge.
Oder bringt uns nur Boreas auf den Kurs den Wünschenswerten?
im nu.
Welche namelosen Anderen schon trägt der Sturm der uns jetzt fasst?
nur gletschergenossen
Ist es sicher, dass das Land in Sicht nicht noch Teil der Arktis ist?
es dauert doch so lange schon...]

What if it's all just a mistake in the translation?...

Even so, it hurts sometimes...



I recall the black days,
the blackest one
it's not the last one but it's there
and somewhere down there,
I'm smiling, still smiling,
I'm smiling from the bottom of my shapeless soul
I'm smiling, still smiling.

(...)

I recall the black days,
the cuts and the recovery from unnecessary growth
I recall these black days,
as maybe grim and villainized 
but also colourful
and somewhere down there,
I'm smiling, still smiling.

[Precious] Memories

I don't even think that memories are real. Memories are a constant narration to yourself. It's a constant thing that makes us what we are but they are... they quite certainly never happened the way that they are memoed... in our memories.

Question(s) to self

- What is left of the ideas and things you were trying to do?
- Look at every scar that I have... I am the result of all the things you have been doing (...) so the silence is sexy is not the opposite of the unbelievable noise - is the result of all the stuff that we were doing.

unless...


You will find me waiting through spring and summer
You will find me waiting waiting for the fall
You will find me waiting for the apples to ripen
You will find me waiting for them to fall
You will find me by the banks of all four rivers
You will find me at the spring of conciousness
You will find me if you want me in the garden
unless it's pouring down with rain

In der Enklave meines Herzens


in der Enklave meines Herzens
in der ich mich verlier
(...)
Zwei grosse schwarze Raben
fressen die Pflaumen aus dem Baum
Ob die andre Stadt mich lieb hat ...?
(...)
Komm mich mal besuchen
ich hab’ unendlich Zeit
und der Blick der ist vom Feinsten
über Wolken und die Stadt

[live oder nicht]


(in the enclave of my heart
where I lose myself
(...)
Two large black ravens
devouring the plums in the tree
I wonder if the other city cares for me...
(...)
Come and pay me a visit 
I have unlimited time
and the view is most lovely
over the clouds and the town)
