Wiegand - Down the memory lane
there is always something waiting
time is pushing further on
we're dealing with limitations
what could be and never will
we believe in hope and faith
and that someday we might be free
draw me a picture of our future,
you cannot clearly see.
driven by alien operators
our days are burning down
the little flower on a road
flattened by wheels of rushing cars
where are all those people heading
what is waiting at the end
close your eyes just for a moment
and tell me you're alive.
the ground is shaking, walls come tumbling down
the sound of breaking chains echoes through the air
no limits and no boundaries to obey
just open space for us to stay
we're stomping over fields of grabbing hands
they’re trying to reach us, we do not care.
Let's pretend there only you and me
forever wild, forever free
do you remember when it started
the moment where we lost control
typing words instead of talking
walking on a fragile path
how could we become so restless
where’s the precious gap for us
may you please kill all my bad thoughts
and the voices in my head.

Let's pretend there only you and me
forever wild, forever free
let’s take a trip down memory lane
preserve the memories and the good times we once shared
a flickering candle remains in the dark
a beacon for ourselves
that always remembers who we are.
A flickering candle remains in the dark
Casting its shadows on the places we’ve been
A beacon for ourselves and for the good times we once shared.

Wiegand - Floating away
I - I feel that I need
to let it go now
again.
It is time
to disconnect me
from this mad world
for a while, for a while.
Off - turn off this world now
and leave those tunes there
alone.
On - switch on this lights to
a perfect refuge
of joy.
And we are here
together we stand
Well I just stay here
forever with you.
Let the liquid flow
and celebrate the show
wave your hands and dance yourself away tonight
floating away.
You - put on your black dress
let me adore you
tonight.
There - there is a saying
that we’re the children
of the night.

Falling
In a screaming silence
I just sit here staring
I’m afraid of my thoughts
And even scared of who I am
or who I’ve become after all those years
and still you’re here with me.
while I’m drifting slowly
and towards the unknown
I keep wondering why this
building’s still intact
not yet collapsed
like a house of cards on an icy ground
my hell lies deep beneath.
All the words I’ve spoken
all the things I’ve created
I did it all with love
now the dreams are lost in vain
because of me.
I keep on falling through the sky
with broken wings attached
I’m freezing the moment
and the pain might go away
While everything’s burning
I light up another flame
yes, maybe I’m drowning
I’ve lost my anchor anyway.
All the walls around me
I created wisely
i don’t care about your
questionmarks and help
My world is fine
I’m healing myself as I always did
a thousand times before.
And if you ever find a
a little crack in those walls
try to rescue me and
maybe it’s not too late
or maybe I’m gone
and so is your pain that’s been haunting you
now better days will come.
In a screaming silence
I just sit here staring
I wanted to be different
not tortured by my insanity.

The room

Wiegand - The room
A slamming door, now darkness surrounds me
my shouts reflected by invisible walls
the sound outside seem to be getting quieter
from the groan of machines that brought me here.
I need to go back, I do not belong here
what is this place, please tell me why
There was no need for a change, it’s just so hard to understand
those well-meaning words - doesn’t make sense at all, not at all.
And in the end it’s always the same
that I’m the only one here to blame
But this might be the right place to reflect where I stand
And the future I will embrace
and all the demons I have to face:
It’s time to move on!
As my eyes adapt to the darkness
the neon sign blinks “this is not the end”
I’m counting doors and ways, with smiling people welcoming me
eager to know - what is my story to tell.

Hideaway

Wiegand - Hideaway
In this room this is you
beneath an old giant clock
threatening from above
you’ve tried to hide long enough.
The escape routes you know
are more or less all sealed up
Finally you arrived
the turning point of your life.
Since the first time there were arguments
why this is not the time
and in company of good old friends
asking ain’t worth a dime.
The illusion of a perfect world
was never part of your dreams
instead the nightmares that were hunting you
showed yourself tied up and lying in chains.
With the chances ahead
your feel darkness instead
and you’re asking yourself what to do
Leave the sorrows behind
Step away from the blind
Down the road where she’s waiting for you
While the time goes by you look around
Where is everyone gone?
You hear the ticking of the clock not far away
could it be it’s time for you to move on?
Should you bring someone into this world
A safe place anymore?
While the angel’s walking by your side
Maybe fate is close as never before.
Get up, move along, leave it all behind
what are you searching for, what are you trying to find?
You’ve come so far and there’s no need to start again
to face the truth that in the end it’s all the same.
Get out, free yourself, and watch the walls collide,
what are you frightened of, what are you trying to hide?
You’ve come so far and there’s no need to start again
to face the truth that in the end it’s all the same

Time

Wiegand - Time
I’m traveling back in time
to the places where we used to be
back to the sceneries of my youth
they’re passing by in front of me
No selfies to take
and no stories to stream
we were fearless and free
while the time covers all
and old friends moved away
the spirit remains
from a distant point of view
and after years of growing up
those magic places of my youth
are bound forever in my heart
worn out districts of my past
the engraved pictures of a youth
against the time
against the time
The abandoned football field
Where nature finally won the game
And the store across the street
has closed its doors many years ago.
and we entered the nights
until the break of dawn
the sand beneath our bare feet
while the last dance is done
and the lights are back on
the spirit remains

Superheld

Wiegand - Superheld
Ich merke wie du mich berührst doch
deine Hände ruhn’ bei dir.
Wenn ich hier alleine sitz weiß ich
dass deine Blicke bei mir sind.
Was gestern noch unmöglich war ist heut’
erstaunlich weil es einfach ist.
Die Frage deren Antwort ich dir überließ,
verstehe ich nun ein stück weit mehr.
Ich schau in dein Gesicht und seh mein Spiegelbild
und in deinem Arm bin ich ein Superheld
Sag wirst du für immer bei mir sein?
Ich hab noch so viel Platz in meinem Kopf,
und es ist mir egal was als nächstes kommt,
solang’ ich dir davon erzählen kann.
Das Drehbuch für das Spiel von gestern
ist heut schon nicht mehr aktuell.
Die Dinge fügen sich zusammen und
ergeben plötzlich einen Sinn.
Zeit die vorher endlos schien ist nun
sortiert und scheinbar aufgeteilt.
Doch furchtlos und mit Mut den du mir gibst
mach ich mich auf und rette die Welt.
Aus dem Weg denn hier komm ich
ich sprech in schonungsloser Ehrlichkeit
und weiß nicht ob du damit umgehen kannst.
Ich bin ein Superheld!
Wenn du die Welt durch meine Augen siehst,
dann weißt du dass ich erst am Anfang steh’.
Ich lass dich mit meinem Herzen sehn’,
denn ich bin dein Superheld!

The little man

Wiegand - The little man
The lights of an ordinary day became weaker,
fade to grey and marked the end of our daily routine.
At that night, life would never be the same as it taught us.
Not prepared, but overwhelmed and aware of the fact: He has arrived, out of the blue.
Empty streets, chasing the blue while other people were dreaming.
A silent hope, that the light of life will shine upon him .
I was loosing the time, all the demons of mine were not here anymore.
In the dawn of the night I knew reality has beaten the dream.
A small and fragile body, resting in the safety of our arms.
No more sorrows, no more worries.
You took away our breath with your first cry.
Welcome to this world, this is your day one.
I've waited my whole life for you, not knowing you at all!
Every single smile, will melt my heart away.
I will keep you safe from harm, keep watching over you.
Now you mean the world to me and it's true
that you are the greatest gift in my life.
You mean the world to me, there's no doubt
I'm feeling it over and over again!
It is time, to lift the veil of the path that is waiting for the
little man, to draw his footprints in an untouched universe.
There's so much to explore, states of happyness will struggle with loneliness
But one thing's for sure, we will always be there for you.

Wiegand - Waiting in line
Client focused
serving attitude
Used to receive results
prepared to go the extra mile
Presentation skills
MBA preferred
Demonstrate integrity
Thinks outside the box
Outstanding leadership
Communication skills
A degree in sales and marketing
or business related field
Highly motivated
With sense of empathy
A proven record of..
Whatever.
Here comes another call
Put on your smiling face and you will
tell them once again how great you are!
Your skills are shining bright and you might show them all
you know their questions well, even before they ask.
But somehow
You‘re wondering why
It always feels
Like waiting in line?
Hang up the phone
Your handwritten notes
You‘ve seen them before
It‘s always the same.
What drives you on
How far will you go
Where will you be
To find inner peace.
To find inner peace.
Noble suits - as you wish
a three day stubble - a brave step in here
a shiny car - get off my way
hotel meetings - empty eyes.
