Lyrics


I made up my mind to jump,
toward a future looking bright.
I wrote down all my old feelings
in a letter one late night.

I talked to the raven beside me,
always watching from his tree.
And I listened to the hopper,
running wild and free.

The moment’s getting close,
I can almost hear
the sound of a new life
calling me.

The time feels right
for a future looking bright.
I’m standing on the edge tonight,
ready for the jump of my life.

No looking back,
nowhere left to hide.
The gates are open wide —
this is the jump of my life.

The raven warned me about the trouble
that could be waiting on my way,
but he also talked about the chances
that might lead to a better day.

The hopper showed me a road ahead,
built from every little jump.
He said, “Trust your gut,
and don’t get stuck inside the swamp.”

The moment’s getting close,
I can almost hear
the sound of a new life
calling me.

The time feels right
for a future looking bright.
I’m standing on the edge tonight,
ready for the jump of my life.

No looking back,
nowhere left to hide.
The gates are open wide —
this is the jump of my life.

I talked to all the ones I loved
who aren’t still standing here.
In the quiet, I could hear them saying,
“Take the jump — don’t live in fear.”

I thought about the lonely road
if I have to walk alone,
but maybe somewhere there’s a place
where strangers slowly feel like home.

And I still hope that you can see
what suddenly became so clear to me:
Heaven didn’t open just one gate,
there’s more than one way through our fate.

They’re not just open for me,
they’re open for my mates.
Maybe somewhere on the other side
another future waits.

Some people think I’m moving too fast,
jumping from a cliff this high.
But it took me years to find the courage
to spread my wings and try.

And now that I’ve made my choice,
I don’t have to run tonight.
I can stand here for a little while —
because I know the time feels right.

The moment’s getting close,
and now I can hear
the sound of a new life
calling me.

The time feels right
for a future looking bright.
I’m standing on the edge tonight,
ready for the jump of my life.

No looking back,
but I don’t have to fly tonight.
The gates are open wide —
and I know I’ll jump
when the moment feels right.

Jump by jump,
step by step,
leaving my old self behind.

The raven knows,
the hopper goes,
and somewhere out there
a new life shines.

The moment’s getting close.
The way is clear.
The time feels right
for the jump of my life.

Lyrics


Last time my daughter asked me,
“What are you reading all the time?”
“Instagram, Telegram, ChatGPT,”
I said with a crooked smile.

Every screen became a doorway,
Trying to find a way
Through the lately growing chaos
That had taken hold of my days.

The chaos started with a visit,
With a message from my past,
Showing me without a warning
That my old life might not last.

Never let my phone out of sight,
Checking every day and night:
“Is there a new message for you?”
One little sign — and my heart knew.

’Cause time is critical in this jaunt,
There’s a hidden love that haunts.
Miss the window to react,
And you’ll hang around, reflect.

Twenty-four hours, round and round,
Waiting for that little sound.
Love, the algorithm, the universe —
Tell me which one came here first.

Then one day the algos checked me,
Seemed to know my situation,
Server a reel that somehow offered
The perfect explanation:

“Message from the Universe —
Save it, like it, claim the sign.
Comment eleven eleven below
And what you’re waiting for is thine.”

And we know how algorithms work —
Feed the beast and watch it grow.
Every time I give a reaction,
It learns exactly where to go.

One message hunts the next one down,
Building pressure all around.
Always promising satisfaction
If I make the right reaction.

’Cause time is critical in this jaunt,
There’s a hidden love that haunts.
Miss the window to react,
And you’ll hang around, reflect.

Twenty-four hours, round and round,
Waiting for that little sound.
Love, the algorithm, the universe —
Tell me which one came here first.

For weeks I’ve lived inside a message
From a twenty-four-hour universe:
“111… 222…
Claim, affirm, accept the words.”

Scrolling through another reel,
Strangely knowing how I feel.
I won’t deny — it’s made so fine,
Almost like it reads my mind.

Every message fits my daily mood,
Just a little modified.
Hope when I am full of hope,
Warnung when I try to hide.

And sometimes I catch myself believing
All those predictions can’t be wrong —
Them I wonder if the universe
Has known my heart all along.

I tell myself:

“You have to break this addiction,
Free yourself from this affection.”

But which one keeps me coming back —
The secret love
Or the algorithm’s trap?

Am I waiting for a message?
Am I waiting for a sign?
Is the universe really speaking —
Or did I teach the feed my mind?

And the strangest thing of all:

Some predictions
Aren’t false at all.

’Cause time is critical in this jaunt,
There’s a hidden love that haunts.
Miss the window to react,
And you’ll hang around, reflect.

Twenty-four hours, round and round,
Waiting for that little sound.
Love, the algorithm, the universe —
I don’t know which one came here first.

111 — claim it.
222 — believe.
333 — the universe
Hast something up its sleeve.

Save it.
Like it.
Comment.
Affirm.

My phone lights up —

And once again
The universe
Returns.

Lyrics


One afternoon I’m sitting in my garden,
watching my dog lying in the grass.
My thoughts are drifting without direction,
through everything and nothing from the past.

Then out of nowhere comes this feeling —
sadness, loneliness, a strange desire.
I try to find out where it’s coming from,
what set this quiet ache on fire.

And suddenly my thoughts go back
to someone who was here some days ago.
My first love — gone for decades,
then somehow back into my life once more.

And I say to myself:
Oh crap… I’m in love.

Oh no — falling in love was not my aim.
Oh no — I don’t wanna play an affair game.
Oh no — this could get complicated.
Oh no — first love reloaded…
that never works.

We started talking more and more,
on the phone and through the digital night.
And every now and then we met again,
pretending everything was light.

We made a language of our own
from songs we knew when we were young,
from pictures and from little lines
that said the things we left unsung.

But songs can hide a thousand meanings,
and pictures never tell you which is true.
A title says one thing, the lyrics another —
so what exactly did you mean to do?

Misunderstanding comes for free
when two people hide between the lines.

Oh no — falling in love was not my aim.
Oh no — it seems we’re playing an affair game.
Oh yes — it’s getting complicated.
Oh no — first love reloaded…
maybe just a visit to the past.

Then Spotify looked at what I’d played
and seemed to know my heart was breaking:
„Sad Girl on Friday Night“ —
well, thanks for noticing which days are winning.

And chatting’s nice, emojis help,
a tiny heart can seem to say a lot.
But we’re not exactly digital natives —
sometimes „cute“ is really all they thought.

And when you’re farsighted anyway,
those tiny differences are hard to see.
One little symbol can mean „I like you“ —
while I’m already reading destiny.

Oh yes — falling in love feels good again.
Oh yes — somewhere we crossed the line as friends.
Oh yes — now it’s really complicated.
Oh yes — first love reloaded…
has turned into a brand-new love.

Then Instagram gave me some advice:

„Next time you fall in love,
take antibiotics
and kill the butterflies.“

But there were never butterflies.

Not this time.

Because when you came back into my life,
it didn’t feel like falling.

It felt like arriving.

Like opening a door
I somehow still remembered.

Like after all these years
I finally came home.

And that is one feeling
I never want to lose again.

Oh yes — it’s a wonderful feeling.
Oh yes — I don’t know where this road will go.
Oh yes — complications are inevitable,
but there’s one thing that I know:

No more „Oh no“,
no more pretending
this is only yesterday coming through.

Oh yes — first love reloaded.
Not the old love repeated.

Something old,
something new.

First love reloaded —
and I love you.

Lyrics

After many years of living as a “we,”
I took a little journey — just my dog and me.
Only one destination waiting, no schedule on my mind,
Just roads I hadn’t planned to take
And thoughts I’d left behind.

The wheels kept rolling forward,
My mind was running free.
For once there was no one deciding
Who I was supposed to be.

No management from outside,
No dependency on anybody.
No expectations to fulfill,
No forced discussions to endure.
No accusing silence hanging in between,
No careful words to keep the peace.
Just me, my dog, an open road
And good songs from the radio.

I knew that somewhere on my journey
I might meet a friend of mine.
But I took it as a loose promise —
No fixed place, no fixed time.

I planned my days from morning on,
Expecting nothing more.
Then on the second day
I learned what waiting can be for.

“If you really love someone,
you have to learn to wait.”
Some hours in my car, somewhere nowhere —
And still, you were too late.

No management from outside,
No dependency on anybody.
No expectations to fulfill,
No forced discussions to endure.
No accusing silence hanging in between,
No careful words to keep the peace.
Just me, my dog, an open road
And good songs from the radio.

For a few days we kept travelling,
Each of us following his own way.
Living separate little journeys,
Meeting when we’d end the day.

Evenings turned to nights together,
And something woke inside of me.
Things I hadn’t liked for ages
Felt different in your company.

Maybe it was never what we’re doing,
Maybe it was who was there.
Sometimes what I thought I hated
Only needed someone right to share.

Then the final miles grew shorter,
And sadness slowly filled the air.
I knew the journey had an ending,
But I didn’t want to leave it there.

And one thought kept turning in my head
As the last scenes passed me by:

Was I watching closing credits
Of a dream that had its time?
Or was this only an opener
To a story not yet mine?

No management from outside,
No dependency on anybody.
No expectations to fulfill,
No forced discussions to endure.
No accusing silence hanging in between,
Nothing we were forced to be.

Just you, me, my dog, an open road
And good songs from the radio.

So when the credits start to roll,
I still don’t know what kind —
The ending of a fantasy,
Or a beginning left to find.

Maybe “The End” is not the line
That’s waiting there for me.

Maybe somewhere after black
It simply says:

To be continued…

Lyrics

Last night I had a dream
So clear it followed me into the day.
I stood alone upon a cliff,
No voice, no sound, no light but silver grey.

Far below, the water waited,
Dark blue, hiding everything from sight.
The moon was lying on its surface,
A silver road across the night.

I felt my feet stuck in a swamp,
Felt I had stayed there far too long.
So I spread my arms into the darkness —
And jumped where I might belong.

I fell like a stone,
Through silence, through night,
Leaving the edge
And everything behind.

Down, down into the dark blue,
Deeper than I meant to go.
Something pulled me through the water
To a place I didn’t know.

And when I thought that I was drowning,
When I had no strength to fight,
There beneath the deepest water
I saw a tiny golden light.

Something caught me in the darkness,
Pulled me deeper toward the ground.
I held my breath until I couldn’t,
With endless water all around.

Then my lungs gave in to breathing,
And the water flooded through.
Half-conscious I kept sinking,
With nothing left that I could do.

But far below me something shimmered,
Small and golden, warm and bright.
And instead of fighting darkness,
I let it lead me to the light.

And suddenly I knew —
The time had come to see:
What I had hidden all these years
Was the strongest part of me.

Down, down into the dark blue,
Deeper than I meant to go.
I had thought that I was drowning —
I was finding what I know.

At the bottom of the darkness
Something changed inside of me.
Golden-silver light surrounded me —
And I remembered how to be free.

I began to shine,
I began to glow,
Like something buried deep inside
Finally wanted to show.

Then a great old turtle found me,
Silent, steady, strong and wise.
I held on tightly to her shell
And together we began to rise.

Up through the blue,
up through the night,
Following the silver moon,
Carrying my golden light.

When my head broke through the surface,
The moon still trembled on the sea.
I turned my eyes toward the other shore —
And there he stood, waiting for me.

The great stag I knew so well,
My companion through the months gone by.
I never thought he’d cross that water,
Never knew that he would try.

He had crossed the sea in silence,
Without a word, without a sign.
While I was searching in the darkness,
He had made his way to mine.

So I swam across the dark blue,
With the moonlight as my guide.
Climbed onto the waiting shoreline
With a new light burning inside.

Golden-silver, softly shining,
No more hiding what is mine.
I greeted him there by the water —
And together we walked into the night.

Behind us lay the dark blue water,
Before us stretched an unknown way.
I had jumped into the darkness…

And came back carrying the day.
