lyrics.
Gerade weil ich mich nicht für einen talentierten Sänger halte, stellen die Texte eines Liedes oftmals ein wichtiges Handwerkszeug dar. Ganz gleich ob man sich nun einer Kategorisierung à la Liedermacher, auteur-compositeur-interprètes, Chansonniers, Cantautori oder trubadur unterwerfen will. Im Folgenden eine kleine Auswahl an Liedertexten, die zum Teil auf den bisherigen (veröffentlichetn und unveröffentlichten) Werken zu hören sind.
THE TRUTH
words and music: Steven Cole.
and is it really true that i don't love you?
and is it really true that you don't care?
and is it really true that you don't love me?
and is it really true that i'm not there?
and you may feel like there's only us
upon this lonely world.
and you may feel that there's space for us...
yes, it is really true that i don't belong here!
and is it really true that you don't know?
and you know how it feels, to finally forgive you?
and do you know the pain standing there?
and you may feel like there's only us
upon this lonely world.
and you may feel that there's space for us...
THE THRUST
words and music: Steven Cole.
it's about the thrust
the words there still remaining
a silent novo-clust
with future in its being.
to late to say,
the things i've lost
the memory remaining.
the claims will pass me by
encapsulate your virgin.
the proteins of pie
enchanting its convenience
to late to say,
the things i've lost
the memory remaining.
FADE AWAY
words and music: Steven Cole.
people ask me: ,why you're still in here?'
- but i'm gone.
all those places i have known are passing by
- and gone.
horizons can define themselves from here
to now - and fade away.
lights can flash and flicker up and down
and make you stay.
take me where i want to be,
all those frightening years, now, in my
whole life, i am gone now
- but i won't fade away.
people ask me: 'why you haven't done
those things before?'
i just can look back an tell them
that i always ignored.
take me where i want to be,
all those frightening years, now, in my
whole life, i am gone now
- but i won't fade away.
people ask me: ,why you're still in here?'
- but i'm gone.
YOU
words and music: Steven Cole.
every single word i say
is for you, my love.
everywhere i go from here
is you above.
you have the favourite smile.
every little step i take
is with you, my love.
every dream i dream at night
is you above.
you have the favourite smile.
and i'll always be protecting you
and i don't care what's at stake.
i will always help you out of things.
and you'll always be my girl.
i swear - you are.
you have the favourite smile.
every single word i say
is for you, my love.
FLYING THROUGH THE AIR
words and music: Steven Cole.
take me in your shoes, she said -
an we'll travel home.
over mountains grey and white,
where you belong.
take me where i'm flying high,
take where i'm from.
every time i look at you
i feel so wrong.
flying through the air.
take me where you're father played,
take me where you're from.
take me back to better times.
they are all gone.
flying through the air.
and than she packer her bags
and took flight 1 0 1 .
with first-class-jet-set-styles
and lear jets from now on.
she did not wave goodbye
and salutes to the moon.
around the world she goes
and won't come back.
CHANCES
words and music: Steven Cole.
i had so many chances,
but i threw them all away
i hope it will do.
and i had so many sleepless nights,
i wonder if i dream,
i'd love you all my life.
and is it so?
you have the feelings you would
like to turn away.
and is it so?
you have the mindfull of the price
you have to pay.
please do stay.
i had so many chances,
but i threw them all away,
i hope you will do.
and is it so?
you have the feelings you would
like to turn away.
and is it so?
you have the mindfull of the price
you have to pay.
please do stay.
"see my love -
it's waiting for you..."
BIGMOUTH: IRON TOWER (S.C RENIX)
words and music: Steven Cole.
hundred miles away
i keep thinking of the things that could have been
now you're gone, i'm still alone
but dreams can give you access if you care
is it true you heard me softly
like i always will
is it true you gave me daylight
i kept my feelings safe in golden walls
and never let them out now
and if you thought i'm dumb and blind
oh please don't get me wrong
i'm just a shy guy
is it true you hurt me softly
like i always will
is it true you made me day bright
i'll keep a place inside my heart (4x)
this is just a try
and i really know that this will never reach you
it is also sad, but you will never see
is it true you hurt me softly
like i always will
is it true you gave me daylight
i'll keep a place inside my heart / now (4x)
tell me where you live today
are slaked with children
are you still writing sad songs
backwards slips to norm
i'll keep a place inside my heart / now (4x)
MY FAULTS
words and music: Steven Cole.
see my faults - drifting high.
i want to be apart -
i want to free me now.
feel my mind - flying low.
i want to be apart -
i want to be away.
i want to be a part.
THEM
words and music: Steven Cole.
one day they'll decide,
the steps you have to take.
do like you was told,
moaning at his grave.
flowers coming down,
they hit the rainy ground -
why i cannot say,
what's this all about?
people stop and pray,
for such an idiot mind -
i'll wait 'till the day
they will come 'round here
and take me by the hand.
i waited to long,
and i'm believing that there's
a way for me to belong.
IT HIT
words and music: Steven Cole.
i'm getting this feeling, shorter of breath,
staring at doorways and digging in trash
oh no - what can i do ?
you had a lot of enemies , you had all the clues.
you're fading the side lines, i'm killing for you
oh no - this is my truth:
and you're feeling guilty and staying in bed,
waiting for perfect things instead,
oh no - hear what i do.
you're playing all the grounds while i'm sitting there,
and you went to disco i waited in there
for you - that's what you do:
and i'm fading myself and i cannot stay,
waiting for moments i could turn away,
- this world i say.
...you had a lot of enemies
i made the mistakes...
"maybe next year she sais, and crushed my
face against the wall.
she was gone right out of the place"
i'm not listening.
BREATHE THE WATER
words and music: Steven Cole.
you can walk in winter - without a shirt.
and you just spend the summer -
in foot-long-curls.
the others dream of walking -
you're running through.
you're crying all the songs out -
we're listening to.
but there is something more:
a secret that you hide.
and you might know the things
by time and place, watch the world from
outer space, dreaming all the dreams
you've got.
but it wears me out.
and you just burn the harvest -
we're seeding you.
and you can breathe the water -
we're choking through.
but there is something more:
a secret that you hide.
and you might know the things
by time and place, watch the world from
outer space, dreaming all the dreams
you've got.
but it wears me out
