SYLVAN LYRICS

1. Deep Inside

Desperately depressed or even deeply hopeless
This was rather simple for you
Extremely excited as well as quite delighted
How easily attainable, too
Tremendously addictive but nonetheless selective
Your will persuades them all
Overwhelming frantic, the next moment just romantic
Once flexible, adaptable for sure

Now strangely indifferent, yes, almost inconsistent
Why to neglect your force
Amazingly rejecting the way that you were acting
Once so natural, invincible and pure

That's the meaning of your life
Full of emotions deep inside your mind
That's your difference you deny
Just share your feelings utilize your might

You're absolutely absent, became so madly different
You think that it won't hurt no more
Though even blessed so badly, incredibly and sadly
Without a try you can't overcome it all

Smouldering ashes, uncontrollable
I can see it, it burns in your mind
Flickering temper, still emotional
when hot blood surges into your face
So suspicious, unapproachable
Tell me where is the friend I once knew
Be ambitious, be infectious though
Be again what your once used to be
Sentimental and insatiable
Leave the pain and deceptions behind
That's your vision, that's the consequence
Of your nature and of your whole life
... live it again !

2. That's Why It Hurts

I am searching for the silence, hear the sound of pouring rain
An insisting voice of nature as persistent as my pain

And I stare out of the window, see the rain clouds passing by
A continuous alternation as unstable as my life

It's this everlasting echo, it's this dreadful empty room
It surrounds me full of memories and frustration conquers soon

And why the hell I have to suffer when the wind speaks out your name
And in my egocentric vision - psychologically insane

I shed all my tears, alone in this world
but the longer I weep the more it burns

I whisper my pain, try to fill it with words
but you took them away, that's why it hurts

Read the last words that you left me 'cos there's nothing else to do
Seems as if I hear your voice so I look up, but where are you

Don't know how long I can stand this - still your perfume in our bed
God, this emptiness will kill me if I'm not already dead

When I think of bygone moments - yearning water in my eyes
Still a lot I'd like to tell you, but I can not turn back time

And why the hell I have to suffer in this cruel and unfair world
And when the sun comes out to warm me it's still cold and still it hurts

I shed all my tears, alone in this world
but the longer I weep the more it burns

I whisper my pain, try to fill it with words
but you took them away, that's why it hurts

Why did it slip away And in the end just memories
Why did those blooming days discolour so synthetically

How should I see with my eyes How should I know that all the things
might die How should I start to realise - now I know How should I feel
you'll leave me How should I know that I'm too blind to see How should
I know it's too deep - now I know !

3. Strange Emotion

Whenever darkness arises the shadow doesn't hide the traces of grief on
your face And though there's silence outside you can't begin a dream ... you waited far too long !

Flashing memories of warmth pretend a love that could once dry all the
tears in your eyes Now when he opens his arms what could it signify ... what do you feel ?

Hey, isn't it strange how feelings can change
Yes, love is a strange emotion ...
As time passes by you might realise - what a strange emotion

And on this Saturday night - the faint wind tries to hide the sound of
expectant quiet The shouting voices inside ... what do they signify - a silence far too long !

While flickering candles burn down and fake an atmosphere of peace and
romantic times Finally decide on your own - you leave him with a smile ... how do you feel ?

Hey, isn't it strange how feelings can change
Yes, love is a strange emotion ...
As time passes by you might realise - what a strange emotion

He thought your feelings last for long, for all his life
But now you proved him he was wrong – and you were right!

4. Human Apologies

Wastefulness - the inconvenience of our passions
Thoughtlessness - too many things we have in mind
Spitefulness - could be our hidden motivation
Or just thanklessness

Infallibility - what we claim but never can reach
Plasticity - the human wish to rule it all
Insatiability - we're the animals of greed
Fucking apologies - what the hell we're waiting for ...

Here we live! Here we lied!
Here we failed and finally here we'll die!

Ignorance which is so suitable for excuses
Negligence - we yet abused a thousand times
Short-sightedness is the blindness in our visions
Seasoned with irresponsibility

The clutch of long lost sympathy for conscience calls
And a precise emergency affects us all
Now it's an iron certainty this way must end for sure
This - with a certain irony - we still ignore

Ignoring full of competence what we don't know
We rather lost our common sense – this, time will show
And with a sad indifference we state explicitly
That we can't judge the consequence for humanity!

Times's changed ... don't we feel that? ... don't we see that?
... don't we fear that? ... we should know ...

5. Timeless Traces

When I said I had no doubts while I tried to comfort you - did I tell
you that I lied ? When I gave you confidence though I feared the things
I knew – only secretly I cried Even when I felt so sad always tried to
keep my smile – still don't know if I was right But though my force was
fading away, even my tears they dried out some day ... finally I realised

And you gave me reasons forever
Did you feel the faith you brought into my life
And your timeless traces won't shatter
When you see the glint of hope deep in my eyes

Leave your worries behind, leave your sorrows behind you
Leave your worries behind, leave those troubles behind with a feeling of quiet

Did you ever realise that I couldn't show my care when I held your hand
in mine Far to near the consequence that I might have broken down – I
assure you that I tried Still I have those words in mind, still
remember all my tears when we had to say goodbye But all my pain has
faded away, even my sorrows dried out some day ... in the end I realised

And you gave me reasons forever
Did you feel the faith you brought into my life
And your timeless traces won't shatter
When you see the glint of hope deep in my eyes

6. I Still Believe

Deep in my soul - fertile in sentiments –
gaining control, still subdued and hesitant
Thinking of peace for me, hoping my doubts might fade –
this is no game, I can't wait till it's much too late

I still believe, still keep our past alive
Just honesty or extraordinary lies ?

Deep in my mind raising continuously,
just fate might decide: future or history
Claiming to care for you, wondering if love can die –
fooling myself, don't I ? Or is it worth to fight ?

I still believe, still keep our past alive
Just honesty or extraordinary lies ?

I'm faking dreams - incessantly
It's build on lies - or justified ?

7. Around The World

When the streets wake up we open our eyes - in a dream
When the day replaces the night we get up and feel
This is our choice, this is our reason, this is how we live!

Well, we never thought of wasting our time, yes we know
Never ever show your feelings – that's how it goes
This is our deed, this is our reason, this is how we live!

Around the world – an industrious storm in a long evolution
Around the world – without space for our own individual illusions
Around the world – a new big global stream, that´s our modern solution

Around the world ... When we look around, indeed full of pride - don´t
you feel? Did you ever realise in what we succeeded
This is our dream, this is our reason, this is how we live!

When the city sleeps we close our eyes and it's true
You can be a star or loser, that's up to you
This is our way, this is our reason, this is how we live!

Around the world – an industrious storm in a long evolution
Around the world – without space for own individual illusions
Around the world – a new big global stream, that's our modern solution
Around the world ...

Running around ...

8. Souvenirs

Did you ever fight? Did you ever fear that things go wrong?
Did you ever, did you ever loose though you always believed you're strong?
It's the moment that you open your eyes and see ...

I still remember all my cares and all my doubts - the relics of my past
I learned from you for all my life, but now that you are weak please
learn from me!

9. Artificial Paradise

In a vaporous world - an appearance so bright
where the people are blurred and hard to visualise
In inscrutable lands with asynchronous time
we are living alone and still dehumanised

In invisible realms just sporadically clear
see us huddled in peace so inconspicuously
In a region of mind where comparisons fail
we are leading our lives ...

Different faces on the other side in our artificial paradise
In a world full of fates and illusions - do you see them?

Through emotional states - with a mask made of ice
Where the bridges yet fade and where the tears have dried
Here the values have changed with the light, actually pale
Here we're leading our life ...

Different faces on the other side in our artificial paradise
In a world full of fates and illusions do we see them?

Here – you can believe me! – yeah, here the world is made of gold with
promises so bright Here it is so easy and here we just forget ourselves
that´s why we feel alright ... Here – we can´t deny it! – yeah, here we
close our eyes and keep the distance day and night Here – why should we
hide it? – yes, here we can enjoy the time and rather feel alright ...
Here we`ll keep our secrets – yeah, here`s the land of milk and honey
where the spirits fly Here – without a regret – yes here we drink our
souls and though we flee we feel alright ...

Suddenly for a short glimpse of time – did you realise?
Full of life – so sincere!
Suddenly from the glance and the warmth in those eyes
And the answer was so clear
Faces within a cold, they rise - Breaking the envelopes of ice
See how the silhouettes of life finally fade ...

Evacuate identities until we leave us incognito
Without pain but gradually we vanish in insensitivity
Naturalised narcotic dreams they supersede us numb and restless
Paralysed cosmetic queens within a surgical and stiff parade

Like jigsaw pieces try in vain to release our face, but we hide the
trace to please - with an apathy - the wish to increase isolation
in an irritating clean and an oh so gracious anonymity!
So there are no surprises in a space full of lies too cold - just erase
the hope to fight hypocritical ideas, to release the feelings we need
to escape our fucking precious anonymity!

What do we keep in our heads? What do we need in our minds?
Will we succeed and regret or will we become dumb and blind?

Emphasise eventually our superficial generation
Affluent society may - without doubts - tend to neglect their force
Decadence, mistrust and pride begin to drown our civilisation
But human on the other side and rather individual, indeed

Like jigsaw pieces try in vain to release our face, but we hide the
trace to please - with an apathy - the wish to increase isolation
in an irritating clean and an oh so gracious anonymity!
So there are no surprises in a space full of lies too cold -
just erase the hope to fight hypocritical ideas, to release the feelings
we need to escape our fucking precious anonymity!

What do we keep in our heads? What do we need in our minds?
Will we succeed and regret or will we become dumb and blind?

Do we see them? Do we see the other side?
Do we see them? Do we know what we deny?
