Hiding Flaws
03:40
|
|||
|
Your sorrow is a farce
How dare you deceive us
I hear your fake heart
Badly hiding flaws
Your concern is a farce
Your words reveal intentions
You keep asking for more
But it won‘t lead to love
Seems you‘re caught by ones visions my dear
Your lack of knowledge, your insecurity and fears
You lifted a secret, or so you think you have
We cannot talk cause you pretend to be deaf
You’re caught in a fraud
They successfully deceived you
I thought I knew you by heart
Guess I was fooled by your farce
But still there‘s some kind of love
As soon as your walls fall
We truly long for the day
That you‘ll be back in our arms

Platonic
04:29
|
|||
|
How could someone comprehend
Or accept the way we cope with loss
Why should we think about an end
If our minds are not meant to grasp
It is what I would call platonic
But did we ever feel like friends?
My hesitation‘s almost phobic
Impossible to understand
Seeking minds don’t realize
Or concede that we make mistakes
Imperfection, your unexpected reactions
It’s not what it takes
Can we ever rise above?
Or at least come to a point where we agree
Time will never tell us how
To resolve or get rid of it
So what we say is methaphoric
A truth you need to understand
Perhaps a way to say we‘re sorry
Not a happy one, but still an end
Seeking minds don’t realize
Or concede that we make mistakes
Imperfection, your unexpected reactions
We do not have what it takes

Wallow In The Past
05:01
|
|||
|
We close doors
To spend nights without love
We avoid to share thoughts
Because we‘re afraid
These holes in our hearts
And a society at a loss
We shape stories
But we never talk about us
We mistake these indications
For reasons not to ask
We treat ourselves with medications
And cause problems we don‘t have
We pretend to decide
But in a way we all just follow
We‘re scared of what comes tomorrow
But we won‘t admit
We are all unique
But our bodies remain hollow
We all wallow in the past
And we keep talking ourselves into it
|

If We Hold On
03:35
|
|||
|
It stays dark inside our home
Where we keep dreams alive
We lost ourselves tonight ’cause we both
Don’t feel what we require
Love was something new
Something we had to lose
It was all for you
It was all for you
Love was something new
Something we had to lose
It was all for you
For a life in full bloom
We had thoughts in mind that if we hold on
We can get out alive
Yet nothing is going right but there’s still hope
It just fades over time
|

6. |
||||
|
we own things that no one needs
we get stuck while we live
we give hints that no one sees
we‘re awake while we dream
Who ever wanted to have it all
Trust in tomorrow, let it come
Who ever wanted to know it all
You see me smiling as i fall
To be told to be sorry wakes our fears
That lead to worries
Now tomorrow‘s knocking gently on our door
Everyday the same new problems
We carry love for a goddess
With more weight on our shoulders than before
Who ever wanted to know it all
No one seems to listen when we talk
Who ever wanted to own it all
Be aware, there‘s always more
We give a hand and we applaud
We bow down, but what for?
We forgive and we forget
To repeat what we regret

We Take Flight
04:39
|
|||
|
We take flight
Guided by a lone star
We wander through the night
And wear our hearts on our sleeves
Our home is out of sight
Seems it matters who we are
We wander through the night
It‘s not time yet to sleep
Words are vague, love‘s strange
We beautify, what we cannot change
We take flight
Now that we came so far
We race against our time
And poorly hide our dreams
Words are vague, love‘s strange
We beautify, what we cannot change
We deny that we too grow old
Soon life itself awaits us at home

Faint Hope
04:29
|
|||
|
We assume a life in bloom
And so do I
We empty bottles of red and white
So that sweet dreams come alight
We have a faint hope that what we feel
Will survive the night
We‘re on the same boat to that non-existing
Better side
We‘re all the same kind
We share the same love
When do we realize
That good things won’t come from above
We‘re all the same kind
Stupid and naive
Tell me why do we believe
Why don‘t we believe
We confuse ourselves again
From time to time
We place our trust in words of fate
Knowing best that things are fake
We have a faint hope that what we feel
Won‘t give rise to hate
We run on the same roads, in fear of missing out
That‘s why we‘re always late

Trigger Expectations
04:07
|
|||
|
The sort of defeat we face today
Might trigger expectations
By the end of the day
I focus on these smaller sounds
And faces I can‘t see by now
I need to figure out
How to
These new ways might feed our hope
But we stopped talking a long time ago
A maybe is shit, and so is a no
As we strive for love
And a new approach
On the verge of revealing myself
Still there‘s too much hesitation
To admit these unknown ways
So I wallow in distractions
And I procrastinate the truth
I need to figure out
How to talk to you
|

I See You Right
02:31
|
|||
|
I dream from a distance
Cause I’m not meant to understand
I hear us talk about war
With a bunch of flowers in our hands
I keep your misery in mind
And live through days in pure delight
You complain and so do I
Let’s get numb again tonight
I hope you know I’d see you right
I need to hide myself sometimes
I make mistakes that I deny
I hope you know I‘d see you right
I need to hide myself sometimes
I hide myself again tonight
I dream from a distance

Fraine St. Gallen, Switzerland
Wir nennen es Semipopulärmusik oder Post-Pop für Nahestehende – schön, zuweilen etwas nonkonform und ansatzweise progressiv. Leise und laut beschallt Fraine das Vakuum zwischen Eingängigkeit und Eigenständigkeit, um genau dort Stellung zu beziehen, wo die Musik bald verhallt und uns mit einem verworrenen Gefühlsbouquet zurücklässt. ... more
