Haltet sie dumm
03:22
|

Ein Haufen Informationen
Rieselt auf dich ein
Du sollst dich in Sicherheit wiegen
Dann wieder betroffen sein
Bilder des Schreckens, allgegenwärtig
Scheinbar so weit weg
Fühlst du dich frei vom Elend?
Siehst du das Böse woanders versteckt?
Die Meinung vorgeschrieben
Ihr Haltet Sie dumm
Ideale ausgetrieben
alle bleiben stumm
Ihr füttert sie mit Bildern
Erzieht sie zum Konsum
Die mühlen laufen weiter
Und darum haltet sie dumm
Da! Wieder ein neuer Skandal
Der deinen Fokus verschiebt
Wird sinnlos breit getreten
Bis es neue Aufreger gibt
Ein guter Boden zum Hetzen
Das Volk will Emotion
Deutsche Gefühle, stolze Experten
So einfach fühlst du dich gut
Misstrauen gepflanzt - Ängste geschürt
Gefühle verkauft - tief drin gerührt
Feindbilder erzeugt - Menschen als Instrumente
Kriege verschwiegen - Länder geraubt
Tyrannen installiert - Mauern gebaut
Konflikte entfacht - dick profitiert
Du hast ihnen geglaubt - jetzt rastest du aus
Fortschrittslüge - wir rennen im Kreis
Du bist ihnen gefolgt - jetzt frag dich wohin
Erziehung zur wahrheit - naiv sind die anderen

Drown
02:30
|

Don‘t look back
or else you‘ll drown
forget the past
or else you‘ll drown
Wake up! Get out of bed
relive the things you‘ve done wrong
tie ‘em around your neck
Waves of sorrows waiting to crash in
regretting thoughts about the fucks you‘ve given
think you live to fail
you get a little drunk and you‘ll end in jail
Tapping on your shoulder, glad to see you
strange feelings - you acted like a fool
you‘ll never forget her face
when she left her smile had gone away
Facing hard times – you had to go away
„i‘ll be back“ was all you said
drawn to adventure, turned around laughing
never made a call – left him wait for nothing
When you think about the past
something spreads in your veins
controls your body, takes your mind away
you‘ve felt you caused every wrong
failure seemed to be your point in life
now forget this shit, leave the guilt behind
I know, you can be strong
Now don‘t look back
you don‘t have to prove them wrong
forget the past
forever stand strong

Shelter
03:08
|

We need a shelter to rest
so let‘s break into this
climb up the wall, cut the barbed wire
be quiet and go
Don‘t speak
just keep an eye on me
Steal a bite to eat
not afraid of the arrest
it won‘t bring us down
so just take all of it
The fear has all gone
when I remember your smile
In the coldest night when I fall asleep
you take care of my dreams
when I close my eyes for the last time
the sorrows will be eased

Häuser
01:13
|

Außen: Eine alte Fassade
Innen: Nichts zu sehen
Drinnen: Ein kalter Zug
Draußen: Stummes Gelächter
Die Häuser schreien
Drinnen: Gewitter tritt ein
Draußen: Starre Gesichter
Außen: Es löst sich alles
Innen: Es will hier fort

Alienate!
01:55
|
|||
Born into a golden cage
that‘s ruled by envy, greed and hate
you‘re told to get wealth and fame
and to never question your fate
Superficial bastards
tell you how to live
sucking out your power
till you got nothing more to give
Alienate!
from this society
Alienate!
don’t go their fucked up way
Alienate!
reject what they stand for
Alienate!
be yourself resist ‘em all
You‘re attracted by power
in a well ordered hierarchy
your lack of innovation
is the border in your head
You forgot what it‘s like
to be your own creation
when do you realize
that soon it‘s too late

Mask of Civilisation
04:29
|

Look behind:
The pile of desasters is growing continiously
Are you gonna run?
Are you gonna hide?
When the mask of civilisation falls?
Take a look to the side:
Your alleged fellow is aiming at you
Take a look at this inert mass:
Equal rights are still in question
Take a look to the ground:
What used to be fertile is sucked empty and dry
Take a look at the sea:
Poverty shows its impact with an eternal silent cry
Can’t you see the signs?
The mask of civilisation will soon be washed away
Do you still believe?
So fold your hands, but heaven won‘t be reached

Ruins
02:55
|
|||
I roam the city, I‘m still alive
I look at the ruins of what once was mine
it‘s my goodbye to old hunting grounds
I wanna know why we were going down so fast
We lived reckless but conscious
it was my heart, now it‘s dead
junx have taken over our streets and parks
that‘s what happens when action becomes less than talk
Have we been held down? Our struggle didn‘t end
we‘ll keep on fighting for what it meant
make something out of nothing
our beliefs will stay until the end
It gave us hope
it gave us strength
they said „no future“
but here we are
gather and resist
stand against the fascists
stand against the state
unite, fight back, start to create
the youth will rise again
time‘s ripe for the attack
it‘s time that we take our streets back
All we wanted was freedom
but soon indifference arrived
hanging out with fascists?! You have to take a stand
when „attitude“ means hatred and denial
intoxication replaced values
the whole scene went down the drain
back then we stood against it, to no avail
now we gonna fight again

Your Fall
02:54
|
|||
So? Did your doubts return?
Your concerns reach endlessly deep
you can‘t see clear
living your life in circles
it‘s always the same
you want a voice but you got nothing to say
It seems like everybody‘s fooling you
it seems like the hatred on you still grows
they see it in your attitude
but there‘s no reason for, you know
even if you really have to
you‘re not strong enough to go
Biased perception, destroyed reflection
get outta my head
it‘s time to realize, my friend
get outta my head
it‘s the beginning of the end
get outta my head
it‘s time to realize, my friend
you‘re the beginning of the end
Every day‘s indifferent
you‘ve seen it a thousand times
every day the same old shit
is stuck in your mind
you think you know the world
have you seen it all?
You don‘t even know yourself
so you fall

Bottle for Bottle
02:18
|
|||
Driven by the need, driven by the speed
driven by a failed, dead promise to keep
fill the void, pour a glass full of emptyness
judgemental eyes, whose expectations to fit?
judgemental eyes - leave me be!
What brought me here, what got me here,
will I ever break through?
What brought me here, what got me here,
will I ever break free?
Bottle for bottle - everyday
Bottle for bottle - to escape his own hell
Bottle for bottle - everyday
Bottle for bottle - and the stigma
will prevail
Looking for the bottle in a constant way
not driven by the need, but the bills to pay
to be provided by a state
to be confronted with hate
Trying to make a living out of nothing
starvation wage and bespoken in shame

Broken Wings
03:33
|

Your freedom is just shit
you do everything in purpose of the next hit
in the mouth, in the nose, in the vein
you cannot always flee
when you‘re goin‘ to young street punx
you give them some narcotics
you think that‘s normal, you think that‘s cool
to take their pride, take their power, take their life
punch in your face
My body, my rules, my ideas, my attitude
you‘re just a fuck up, standing in my way
tellin‘ me what to hear, what to do, what to think, what to say
How can I keep my positive way of life?
being confronted by all this shit in this time
I don‘t mind if you get fucked up
but pushing friends over the edge?
You need to stop
stop forcing your opinion onto others
your chauvinistic actions are gonna bring you down
you‘re no part of us
take care of your people
maybe they ain‘t got your blurred view of life
you’re flyin‘ on broken wings
soon you are lost

Mirrors
03:13
|

Take a look at you
you‘re at the edge and in the centre at the same time
you don‘t come to these decisions
but you see what they do to you
You recognize these gestures in others
and you don‘t know how you feel
floating in a ruin of apathy
determined, but strange to yourself
Nonetheless only you is what you see
only you is what you feel
only you is what you hate
you‘re doomed, you‘re scared, you‘re judged
distraught
I don‘t see with your eyes
I don‘t feel with your heart
when I‘m supposed to glow I stay cold
when you talk to me I avoid the answer
When you try to reach me I go away
suddenly frustrated
when you try to reach me I go away
reach me - I go away
There‘s no question of blame
I'm reckless and I can‘t remember why
but I don‘t care, I can‘t change
I‘m close, I‘m strange
These ain‘t my mistakes, you can‘t defeat me
I won‘t give in, I‘m not afraid
nothing will break me ‘cause I‘m ready for everything
doubts are worthless
I won‘t crawl, I‘ll keep on standing

No Life
03:35
|
|||
Don‘t you dare complaining
time to stop dreaming
think about your future
commit yourself to western life
build a career and hang on to it
get outta your own way
we‘ll grant no mistakes
always choose the safe routes
now look at you
if you just keep on striving
one day life will be nice to you
I‘m not always making plans
When I‘d rather just go out
avoiding your highways
that you‘ve built not for me
I can‘t see life out there
just limits and bans
all that moves freely is your enemy
you want to control us, we want to be free
your guiding culture will always upset me
Remembering the past is making me sad
imagining the future is equally bad
pressures all around me
they‘ll never set me free
no place to where I can escape
there‘s no life for me
you can‘t break my dreams
I‘ll never live for one of these pricks
who‘s bawling and spying
commanding and lying
one thing to do
step out and resist
We‘re happy with ourselves
don‘t need your guiding hand
we‘re waiting for the moment
you finally give in
life will prevail
our numbers increase
your time is up
give us the good life
it‘s not enough to say
„give us the good life“
let‘s move from words to deeds
so let‘s get up now
and reclaim the streets

Bass, Vocals
Farin - Drums
They started
in 2013 and mostly play on DIY punk shows.
Forming their first punk band in 2005, the two Les consider starting playing music as one of the best things they've ever done.
It's hard to express how important this proved to be for Farin, who joined in 2014. It literally saved his life.
