The Kosmonaut 04:22
lyrics
buy track
Under the great white lights a body seems so innocent Being placed inside a bed with the blankets coloring red. As every single breath of air seems to float endlessly through space Like a unique note of hope echoing through the hallways. It's the one sign of beauty to cast away all the doubt And to re-direct my thoughts to some words I heard about: The most important thing one has to understand Is to hold the things you love as close as you can. I once went to see a priest and asked if he could help me. Told him “I'm so scared of loss, would you tell me how this could be?” He said “just put your worries into the Lord's arms because he will guide You the way through brightest days and through all the dark nights.” But what if God does not exist? Nobody tells me about that. Oh, I wish there would be anything to make me forget All my weaknesses if only for this darkest of all nights. Like some voice to whisper in my ears “it all will be just fine”. Every single wave of hand is precious, every touch has to be precise Because the most essential things are the ones least recognized. As I'm staying by your side. Right in this moment you need nothing more Than company. So I am closer now to you than anybody has ever been before. I will keep on fighting if you promise to keep fighting. There will be no dividing, there will be no tearing us apart. I will keep on believing if you promise to keep believing. The most beautiful of all sounds is the soft beat of a heart.

Corridors 04:54
lyrics

The blinking lights, the sleepless nights, The hours spent there by your side Don't make you feel any better But at least you feel a little less alone. I try so hard to stay awake, I try so hard to see your face. Darling, please don't close those eyes, please don't fall asleep tonight. Your breath filling this room with sound, Let us forget the world around It should not concern you, my dear. All that is important is that we're both here. I'll read you from your favorite book and once a while I take a look To see if you're sleeping. Yes you do. Then I whisper “I love you”. Darling, please don't close your eyes, I'll keep fighting for your life, I'll keep fighting for your love because that's all I'm thinking of. And I am running through those corridors only to be with you Because your heart knows no tomorrow and my heart is oh so blue. The smell of coffee in the morning, The city waking up outside As you lay there in your bed Wrapped in blankets when I softly kiss your head. I do not want to say goodbye, I don't want to be left behind. I'm waiting for you 'til we next meet, whenever this may be. Darling, please don't close your eyes, I'll keep fighting for your life, I'll keep fighting for your love because that's all I'm thinking of. And I am running through those corridors only to be with you Because my heart is filled with sorrow but a heart is oh so true. Hello again my dear, It's been so long since I've been here. And I brought you some flowers Because I still know that you liked those kind of gifts. And do you want to know why I'm here, what I'm supposed to do? I'm here to say that I miss you and that I'll never forget you.

Hospital Lights 04:11
lyrics
buy track
Those muscles they are moving to open up my mouth, But even though I try so hard, no words are coming out. This state I'm in is unchanged now for hours, maybe days. If I could only speak to you, if this sound would find its way. Then the voice you'd hear it would be so soft, it would be sweet, It would reach out to all the beauty that hides there underneath Those tears you are shedding. They look like diamonds on your skin, As the hospital lights conceal all the pain that there has been. You know, I wish I could just tell you that it all will be alright And finally leave this condition I am caught in behind. Those muscles they are moving to open up my eyes Because just one glimpse of motion could close the gap that lies Here between us wider than the Atlantic Ocean. No matter what I do it seems there's no way that I can Cross it because I'm made unable to swim. I would drown in all those memories I am floating within As I can't reach the exit of this labyrinth of mind. I am too weak to escape. I am too weak to get by. Every single thought I enter, every second floating away Erases what's left of myself until there's nothing that remains. The weight of my memories slowly starts to drag me down Into the abyss of my mind where there is no way out. Oh, I wish there was anything that could make me leave this place And bring me back to where I belong, lead back to where I'm safe. I wish I would be certain that it all will be alright But with every moment passing this goal gets further out of my sight.

Bloody Mary 04:06
lyrics
buy track
The noises outside that door seem so soft and quiet As if they wanted to remind me that it all will be alright. The strength in me is waning when I look onto my arms And all the harm I did with them the last couple of hours. The only thoughts remaining which are scattered through my mind Are those of desperation and of the lonesome kind. So I watch the blood softly falling on the floor. With every drop that spills out I free myself a little more From all those images that circle around my inner eye. They slowly vanish in the distance until they're out of my sight. Now all I have to do is wait.

ATOMIC STEREO Kirchdorf An Der Krems, Austria

Instead of taking part in the sportive activities of local football clubs, to pilgrim or even to indulge in the domestic tavern-culture, those four adolescents from Kirchdorf, Austria decided to let their creativity and energy flow in a dark cellar compartment. The result is a fusion of music, literature and displeasure compressed into musical pieces which range from pop to noise to indie rock. ... more
