Ride to Nowhere

I've been thinking of the past
I've been pre-occupied by yesterdays
I've been thinking of you
I just can't think about anything new
So tell me, so tell me
What's the use of all this thinking
What's the sense of me thinking
Is it just a repetitive machinery
Meanwhile the sun is shining
For a while I should stop my whining
Can I be more than an extension of the past
Can I be more, something that lasts
Every day I been walking in the rain
In an akward way I keep enjoying the pain
Can I be wrong
Been a fool all along
Wasting my time
Standing in a line
For a ticket to nowhere
A ride to nowhere
A ride to the place where I already am

Getting Older Pains

It ain't getting better
No matter what they say
So when we get older
We start to cherish every day
This day could be the last one
This day could be the end
Of this journey we call our life
I know that I should realize this more
I know that I should do so much more
So when I don't follow up
Life is slipping through my fingers
No need to work it out
No need to think it over
The solution is beyond ourselves
When we realize that we've been staring in the wrong direction
It ain't getting better
It ain't the way
There ain't no cure for this
So what is the matter
Wev've been fooled every day
We walk away from this abyss
When you don't have a clue
You don't need to make a choice
You don't bother to consider your life
It will go it's own way
You take it day by day
And everything appears to be right
So I do know where it's at
So I need to make a choice

Regret

I could have done so much
I should have done what I haven't done
Anything would have been better really
I did do nothing
I really did do nothing
I can't make it right anymore
I can't change the past
I can try to do my uttermost best

Waves

Walking on the seashore late afternoon
It's gonna be dark very soon
My mind is a mess
My life seems meaningless
Is it really over
Is it really over for me
No time to think it over
No time left for me, you see
The waves keep on coming
I keep on wondering
I got no grip on when it will end
The waves keep on coming
I keep on walking
Until the end of the beach
We screwed it up big time
We messed it up totally
Now we're left with the consequences
We need to know urgently
We need to know what to do
We need to do it better next time
The ocean doesn't care
It will be here forever
My footprints washed away
The waves keep on coming
And I am standing on the shore just today
Walking on the shore, walking on the shore
Late afternoon
It's gonna be dark, it's gonna be dark
Very soon

I've been trying to stay
Prolonging this day
Holding on to what I got
I ain't gonna be here
I ain't gonna be here forever
I have been thinking of this
I've been thinking of that
But nothing can really soothe me
I ain't gonna be here
I ain't gonna be here forever
All the sweet words that you say
All the sweet memories
All the friendship I thought of today
It ain't gonna last forever
Every day is a day closer
Closer to the end
Every day should be an oppurtunity
Everyday is a new day
So no need to think of yesterday
This could be the best day of my life

There's a whole lotta lying
There's a whole lotta lying going on
2x
She's a mean little lady
She's a desperate lying little lady
When I thought she wouldn't fool me again
She came up with these crazy lies again
Then she just turned her back on me
But this ugly side of her I refused to see
She said she wouldn't do it 2x
She said she wouldn't do it again
Instead she made me do it
Instead she made me do it as well
There's a whole lotta lying
A whole lotta lying going on
2x

Empty Gaze
03:08
|

Sitting on a platform
Waiting for a train
Trying to look indifferent
But inside he feels a pain
There's so much going on
There's a storm in his head
Trying to keep it quiet
It makes him feel so bad
There is no escape from the war in his head
There is no relieve anymore
The girl next to him she has no clue at all
She is happy, just been to the mall
She has no clue about the misery beside her
The boy with an empty gaze
Then her phone falls in his lab
His angry dream is broken
She tries to make him laugh
Could this be a token
He stutters a few words
She gladly takes it over
A train passing by
The words are lost
There is no escape from the war in his head
There is no relieve anymore
Will it be over
When the train hits his face
Or could the girl beside him break the spell in his brains
Words can't relieve him
Of the fear that he holds
The girl could do it only
By slapping him in the face
Kissing him on the lips

Too Late
03:47

It's too late to feel sorry
It's too late to let you know
It's too late for me and you
It's too late, there's nothing that I can do
It's too late for any new stuff
It's too late, I've had enough
It's too late, it's too late
I missed the boat
There were a few I really fancied
But there wasn't one like you
The only one I really wanted was you
You made me feel so happy
You made me feel so good
You were the one, but I realised it too late
I've been on my own so long now
I got used to it quite well
There's a certain quality about it I like
I thought about it quite some times
We parted way too fast
And now I do regret I let you go

Feel Free
04:18
|

|
When I really think about it
What had I planned
The outcome has been exceeded
By another plan
No way I could have seen it coming
Now I know where it ends
When this wouldn't had happened
Where would I be
I sure would have had a different life
But does it really matter
Does it really matter at all
Somehow we think
Somehow we feel
That we need to make the right choices
As if it always matters
As if it always matters at all
So feel free whatever happens
We are free whatever happens
We can see this all the time
We don't need to be happy
We don't need to do it right all the time
The joy of not knowing
The joy of not being somebody all the time
The joy of just being
Indifferent being
Taking things as they come
