Magnetic

Crisp air, magnetic eyes
Magnetic, magnetic
Eyes captured, skin tingling
Magnetic, magnetic
Room full of people, full of nothing
I see you, you see me…
…but nothing will happen, you know, I know
One side attracts, the other repels
Pull, Push, magnetic, connected yet apart
How tempting to just turn around and let go
Heart racing, cheeks reddening
Magnetic, magnetic
Hiding, ignoring
Magnetic, magnetic
Knowing precisely, all your movements
I feel you, you feel me…
…but nothing will happen, you know, I know
One side attracts, the other repels
Pull, Push, magnetic, connected yet apart
How tempting to just turn around and let go

No answer
03:02
|

Life begins full of questions, knowing nothing
Then we learn more everyday
About the people, the world around us
We love, we hate, we laugh, we cry
As a child we get our answers from our parents
Growing up, on our own
And getting older questions get harder
We trip, we fall and we get back up
So we travel from day to day
Always searching for answers
But there will always be
More questions without answers
And so we carry on through our ups and downs
Facing uncertainty every day
All we can do is to keep searching
Although there might be no answer at all

Search for peace
05:20
|
|
||
Some search for skies divine
Look for it in the stars
Hear it whispering in the grass
The waves of the ocean
Listening for peace
Some search it drinking wine
Each night sitting at bars
Try to drown their pain in a glass
Forgetting their dreams to just find some peace
I find it when I am reaching to you
Sending the song of my heart out to you
Freeing my naked soul flying to you
Reaching connection as one
Some search it in a line
Of soldiers fighting wars
Seeking power over the mass
Pretending their greed is a battle for peace

Black ice
04:07
|
|||
How can I survive you, how can I go on?
My life has been turned to black ice,
Where spring will never thaw the coldness in my heart
Love is frozen since you are gone.
Every bodycell rebels and hibernates in me
Since life took you away from me.
Nature turning backwards, not to be endured.
I’m buried alive in black ice.
Faces all around keep knocking on my grave
Trying to pull me out of my grief.
But their sounds are swallowed by the snow that covers me
Since life took you away from me.
Maybe if I scream loud enough, the ice will break.

Manipulator

Chorus
You’re a manipulator
You pull the strings, and everybody jumps
You’re a manipulator
You pull the strings, and everybody jumps
Dancing your choreography
Thinking it’s what they want to be
You’re a manipulator, you pull the strings
And everybody jumps
You’re playing friend, smiling sweetly
With your embracing, drilling eyes
You cut them open, digging deeply
Looking for levers you can use
Chorus
You’re playing God, they all worship you
Molding other people’s lives and dreams
You make them need you, make them love you
Until they’re puppets you can use
But I looked up
I saw the strings
Cut myself loose
and now I’m free!

All the fine young men
04:10
|
|
||
They told all the fine young men, that when the war is over
There will be peace, and the peace will last forever
In Flanders Fields, at Lone Pine and Beersheba,
For king and country, for honor and duty,
Those young men fought and cursed and wept and died
They told all the fine young men, that when the war is over,
In your country's grateful heart, we will cherish you forever
At Tobruk and Alamein, at Bhuna and Kokoda,
Like their fathers before, In a world mad with war
Those young men fought and cursed and wept and died
For many of those fine young men, all the wars are over,
They have found peace, it's the peace that lasts forever
When the call comes again, they will not answer,
They are just forgotten bones, lying far from their homes,
As forgotten as the cause for which they died.
Oh, young men, can’t you see now how they lied?

A demain
04:35
|
|||
Je te vois, couchée là, près de moi
Un soupir, un bisou, un sourire
Et des vagues inondent mon âme
Ton souffle caresse, chatouille
Mon cœur sautille de joie
Explose d’amour, mais tout bas
Malgré moi, je sors de là, à petit pas
Chuchotant «à demain!»

Live now
03:38
|
|||
Second by second, day after day
Running behind obligations
Swim with the stream with the tide of the world
Time quickly trickling through life’s hourglass
Who’s in control of my life?
I am done being afraid
To take control
And live my life at last
Minute by minute, year after year
Trying to meet expectations
Everyone pulling at opposite ends
Strength fleetly fading away while I fight
To take control of my life
I am done being afraid
To take control
And live my life at last

Endless motion
04:39
|

Endless motion
Kissing shoreline
Caress my core
Run through my bones
Pouring energy in my soul
Un undying song
Untamed beauty
Love of my life

Ready to take off
04:27
|
|||
Ready, I'm ready
Ready, I'm ready to take off
Ready, I'm ready, ready
A dream, too surreal to imagine
Be responsible, reasonable, reliable
Use your wit
I did, I did, I did, and I loved it, I lived it
It made me be, it made me me
Now I have landed, now I have landed, now I have landed, now I’m ready to take off, now I’m ready to take off,
I’m ready, I’m ready to take off!
An urge, too intense to ignore
Be loving, be caring, be patient,
Use your body
I dig, I did, I did, and I loved it, I lived it
It made me be, it made me me
Now I have landed, now I have landed, now I have landed, now I’m ready to take off, now I’m ready to take off,
I’m ready, I’m ready to take off!
A life to be lived, bills to be paid
Be diligent, be busy, be hard working
Use your ambition
I did, I did, I did, and I loved it, I lived it
It made me be, it made me me
Now I have landed, now I have landed, now I have landed, now I’m ready to take off, now I’m ready to take off,
I’m ready, I’m ready to take off!

Tree of love
04:17
|
|||
The day we said yes, the rain pouring down
We bathed in a shower of light.
There stood on that hill, two trees at our backs
Their stems fusioned into one.
Their branches reaching for their own stars
But deep in the ground, their roots drinking life
Were weaving a web of love
Supporting the trees, through storm and through heat
An anchor through come what may
Two trees melted into one for life.
