Echo

Am
Yes, you said, it’s all about being confident

G
But you’re living in a world or a continent so different

F
And you were weak when your Echo said: I like your styles

E
It’s been a while, since you said that, both in times and miles.

You didn’t hear it at first, because your Echo is shy
And in order to hear, you need to bring your voice high
And you don’t get what you deserve – because your heart is empty
But Echoes love for you is there – it’s rich and plenty

Because you loved yourself: Echo replied
And you were caught in that sound in the other night
But didn’t really listen to the voice at last
And now it’s just: an Echo from the past

F
It wasn’t what you thought and so you let go

G
You didn’t fall in love with your Echo

E
And now you’re here and you hear that voice

Am
Coming through the snow of the white noise

Far far away
Far away
Away
Way

An Echo is exciting, when you don’t expect it
And you don’t neglect it
You were affected
With a rush flush cheek and in fact erected
I mean… let’s put it this way

It affected your connectedness
In all your imperfected quests
Inflected unsuspected less
Objected your connectedness
Yet infected what lacked a protected guess
But all it brings to you, is just sheer reflected:

Cause and effect, send and respond
A song is as strong as the voice it builds upon
And you claimed the world – so your voice shouted loud
Thus echoes the song, winding up in the cloud

But doesn’t know who sings it
It was being free for a moment, but not really intrinsic
You need to find your own tune, than a matching melody
And your Echo is no remedy…

It wasn’t what you thought and so you let go
You didn’t fall in love with your Echo
And now you’re here and you hear that voice
Coming through the snow of the white noise
Far far away
Far away
Away Way

It wasn’t what you thought and so you let go
You didn’t fall in love with your Echo
And now you’re hear and you hear that voice
Coming through the snow of the white noise
Far far away
Far away
Away Way

And even though it sounds like it,
this ain‘t no metaphor
Cause Echo is a cute girl from Labrador
She fell in love with the sounds I left in the Laurentides
And that was all it needs

But I refuse to admit: the fault was all mine
Echo listen: you didn’t hear the whole line
I’m being honest – Echo, I don’t love you
And all you hear is … … … love you

 And you wanted me to write a song for you: Here it is
But even though there is this one thing you will miss
You will hear it still
By recognizing only that part, that won’t get you killed

Our mind is selective, and yes, I wrote you a poem
And that quite possibly means, that I think at you back home
Maybe that’s all you need to know:
Your voice is heard out there
And you got more than an Echo to share …

It wasn’t what you thought and so you let go
You didn’t fall in love with your Echo
And now you’re here and you hear that voice
Coming through the snow of the white noise

Far far away
Far away
Away Way

So be an Echo for the last time
Forget just what I put together in this song
Except this last rhyme: Your fate shouldn’t be the Echo
You shall be new crowned
Speak out to the valley and mountains and be sound:

It wasn’t what I thought so better let go
I didn’t fall in love with you, Echo
And now I’m here and I hear your voice Coming through the snow of the white noise Far far away

Far away Away
No Way

Die Straßen sind gepflastert mit dem Leben deiner Tage

Gmaj7
Die Zeit fällt aus dem Raster in den Nebel ganzer Jahre
Und du liegst und du fällst und du fliegst und du gehst
Wachsweich, blauer Samt, alles hier vergeht
Gesichter verschwimmen du warst nie wirklich hier
Wenn die Wände wässrig werden bleibst du lieber bei dir

Lass es gehn, oh, lass es einfach nur geh‘n
Du kannst das alles um dich her hier meist nicht versteh‘n

Hm7
Wenn du träumen willst
Em9
Schalt das Licht aus
Em6
Schalt das Licht aus

Wenn du träumen willst
Alles aus dem Weg räumen willst

Schalt das Licht aus
Schalt das Licht aus

Zähl deine Finger, träumen geht immer
Drück auf den Schalter und drehe an dem Dimmer
Trick: Blick auf die Zeichen an der Digitaluhr
Lies die letzte Zeile nochmal, du weißt es war nur
In deinem Kopf es ist in deinem Kopf
Zähl die Finger lies die Zeile oder drück diesen Knopf

Goldstaubsand an der Wand alles flimmert
Zähl die Finger an der Hand bist du rückfällst durch dein Zimmer
Bist du noch da oder ist es real
Zwischen fliegen lern und fallen hast du Grad noch die Wahl
Dreh an der Lampe bis der Zauber verfliegt
Ich Taumel durch die Straße und ich flieg:

Wenn du träumen willst
Schalt das Licht aus
Schalt das Licht aus

Wenn du träumen willst
Alles aus dem Weg räumen willst

Schalt das Licht aus

Schalt das Licht aus
