M&M - Fade away
Every night you lay awake
asking ‚Is this all?‘
the daily sunrise kills your soul
the same sad footsteps that you make
Every day you dream of colours
on your grey and greyer sky
but no painter passes by
just planes you cannot follow
Every second you see clouds
excepting that they rain again
on buildings, pavements, yellow trams
‘Flush away my life!’ you shout
In this moment - what the fuck! – you see
a cloud of personality!
You‘re watching lights and shadows,
no mirror, but the same sad view
perceiving, that it is like you
the cloud, it is you fellow!
Lovely cloud you’re raining
warm raindrops down on me
they’re red and they are green
they cure my sadness, they’re healing!
Colourful steam around me
happiness surrounds me
breathing gold
vomiting mud,
throwin’ away the things which suck
and listen, what the cloud was told:
Enjoy the moment
don’t regret
the maybe-things
you did or said
Do, what you want
don’t fear the traps
look forward, ‘caus you will be catched
and don’t forget, let your eyes watch it:
cowardice is not an option!
I’m dancing, saying, almost praying
the feelings that I suddenly have:
You are the voice in my head
That turns my life upside down
Even if you leave you will remain.
Myself, can I ever retain?
A part of you will always be there,
Even though you’re anywhere.
Every night laying awake
asking ‚Is this all?‘
Set yourself free
so that the wonderful world
is not damaged by a dream
or wish that hasn’t fulfilled
‘Cause somewhere in the future
there is waiting a new day
which will bring back the light
and your sorrows fade away.
