The City by the Sea
03:47
|
|||
I remember what I felt when we first sailed in here
the world was wide open and we were so young
I remember what we thought we would find in here
Our fantasies shimmered like neon against the dark sea
But nothing worked out the way that we hoped
and so much of what we were sank to the ocean floor
Lured in by the beatiful lights
of the city by the sea
we're stuck in here
this people machine
Lured in by the beatiful lights
of the city by the sea
we're stuck in here
this people machine
Now I stand by the breakwater and I gaze out to the sea
the winds here are so cold and cold is my soul
The old friends are long gone and I no longer dream
The trade winds bring new things but nothing excites me
And I want to leave again but where would I go?
When every city in the world is a city by the sea
Lured in by the beatiful lights
of the city by the sea
we're stuck in here
this people machine
Lured in by the beatiful lights
of the city by the sea
we're stuck in here
this people machine

Upwards and Forwards
03:52
|
|||
The race is set
the goal is clear
I want to be
the very best
To go faster
to reach higher
to go all in
and to show you what I got
Upwards and forwards
that's where I
need to go
Upwards and forwards
that's where I
need to go
We work harder
we train smarter
Everyday we strive
to go further than before
You give us the dream
And I give you what you need
To get the glory
You promised to me
Upwards and forwards
that's where I
need to go
Upwards and forwards
that's where I
need to go
We struggle
with sore bodies
We grit
Our teeth
We fight
with heavy hearts
We use
all the means
We hunger
for victory
We give you
everything
We sacrifice
Our lives
We fade away
in the end
Upwards and forwards
that's where I
need to go
Upwards and forwards
that's where I
need to go

California Baby
02:41
|
|||
California baby
lives in Blade Runner City
It is a big place
and things, well they get crazy
California baby
life isn't easy
California baby
life isn't easy
California baby
she's a real cutie honey
Oh, all the things she'd do
if she just had the money
California baby
life isn't easy
California baby
life isn't easy
California baby
walking on the streets rage
breathing in amnesia haze
in this new machine age
Sometimes
she wants to leave
it gets hard to breath
it's hard to leave
all your dreams behind
California baby
life isn't easy
California baby
life isn't easy

Parallel Worldlines
04:04
|
|||
We walk the same streets
passing by without a trace
We have our public faces
and the ones we hide
The thoughts we share
the ones we don't
The roles we play
we make them our own
Our paralel worldlines
keep drifting apart
Our paralel worldlines
keep drifting apart
In Helsinki
or Tokyo
We're all strangers
in all languages
We're like vapor
filling up all the space
We're all connected
and still we feel alone
We flicker in and out
casting data streams
We try to reach through
the void in between
Our paralel worldlines
keep drifting apart
Our paralel worldlines
keep drifting apart
In Helsinki
or Tokyo
We're all strangers
in all languages
God didn't smite Babylon
that tower fell down on it's own
It bent and fractured
from the weight of our souls
Our paralel worldlines
keep drifting apart
Our paralel worldlines
keep drifting apart
In Helsinki
or Tokyo
We're all strangers
in all languages

Obsession
04:23
|
|||
You catch my eyes
You blow my mind
I can hear your voice
it cuts through the noise
In the city streets
in the words you speak
in the eyes of strangers
you leave an impression
these thoughts
they won't go away
and everytime
when I get this way
I want to yield to
complete passion
it's like an
Obsession
Love like fire
Obsession
Love like fire
Pure desire
I want to know you
and I want to feel you
To share our secrets
and the warmth of our bodies
You walk your own path
just like I have, so
let's have our roads cross
and see where it takes us
these thoughts
they won't go away
and everytime
when I get this way
I want to yield to
complete passion
it's like an
Obsession
Love like fire
Obsession
Love like fire
Pure desire
Let's take our chance
let's make our moves
let's dance the night away
to the rhythm of machines
these thoughts
they won't go away
and everytime
when I get this way
I want to yield to
complete passion
it's like an
Obsession
Love like fire
Obsession
Love like fire
Pure desire

Freeze
05:18
|
|||
I can feel the winter
all around me
I have seen the storms
they are rising
The seasons change
people don't
we have seen this
all before
What we build
cannot last
Nothing's enough
So we
Freeze
All systems fail
So we
Freeze
All systems fail
In a snow crash
We're all alone
in this frozen city
We're all so drained
of our warmth here
We all dream
of a better world
of prosperity
and control
No matter how far
we will go
We remain human
So we
Freeze
All systems fail
So we freeze
All systems fail
In a snow crash

Tidal Wave
03:52
|
|||
Sometimes
we're pushed down
we're crushed down
by machinery
Sometimes
the world doesn't care
no-one knows we're here
behind the screens
Life is a tidal wave
Striking us down
Can you hold on
or will you sink and drown?
Sometimes
it's all too much
we give so much
for nothing at all
Sometimes
we lose our course
we lose control
and spiral away
Life is a tidal wave
Striking us down
Can you hold on
or will you sink and drown?

Thirsty
04:12
|
|||
When the sun goes down
and the night falls
We want something special
to relieve our pressures
Someone to escape with
to the lap of pleasure
To live out our fantasies
and to feel extacy
I'm the real thing baby
so have me when you're thirsty
I'm the real thing baby
so eat me when you're hungry
I'm the real thing baby
so take me when you need it
I'm the real thing baby
People are so cold
and they are so cruel
with their scarred hearts
eyes that have seen all
Still we hunger
and we yearn so hard
This instinct in me
is what you feel too
I'm the real thing baby
so have me when you're thirsty
I'm the real thing baby
so eat me when you're hungry
I'm the real thing baby
so take me when you need it
I'm the real thing baby

Only for a While
04:40
|
|||
I'm feeling
the pulse of the city
I'm watching
the streets are alive
This is the night
of our great hopes
This is the night
when we want the whole world
Dance through
the whole night
under the
neon lights
It's only
for a while
that we are
alive
Blast through
at full speed
through the
darkened city streets
It's only
for a while
that we are
alive
I'm feeling
the heat of the city
I'm watching
the lights in the dark
This is the night
the last one of summer
This is the night
and all that could have been
Dance through
the whole night
under the
neon lights
It's only
for a while
that we are
alive
Blast through
at full speed
through the
darkened city streets
It's only
for a while
that we are
alive
Step forth
without fear
go and reach
the highest peak
It's only
for a while
that we are
alive

Up in Smoke
03:38
|
|||
Life can be quite hard
it can get quite dark
Life can be
stressfull too
This burning pain I feel
this dark cloud in me
I do my best
to relieve it
I find it hard to see
things in front of me
I'm behind
a smokescreen
The future is unknown
The past is so long gone
we're all so lost
and chaos reigns
Up in smoke
Just let it all go
Up in smoke
Just let it all go
let your whole life burn
I thought I was so smart
I thought I knew it all
What would work
and what what would not
So I fell so down
and I hit the ground
and it was so hard
to get back up
The things I have done
were no good for me
And now I have seen
The consequences
This is a disaster
this wretched situation
I need to go forth
and let the past die
Up in smoke
Just let it all go
Up in smoke
Just let it all go
let your whole life burn
Up in smoke
Just let it all go
Up in smoke
Just let it all go
let your whole life burn

Real Human Being
04:08
|
|||
We fight for attention
we try to get to the top
We grind and hustle
we try to look so good
We're always searching
for the next big thing
But it's not what I want
I want to do my own things
Bound to the network
We dream of freedom
I want to disconnect
and feel more complete
Now
What will it take
for you
to treat me
as human being?
Now
What will it take
for you
to treat me
as human being?
We're under pressure
there is no escape
They push our buttons
so we dance and sway
The world keeps spinning
soon we're left behind
Life is so fickle now
We're all so replaceable
Still we love the cage
that we live in
This was no paradise
and I don't believe in it
Now
What will it take
for you
to treat me
as human being?
Now
What will it take
for you
to treat me
as human being?
