Once upon a time

And a long ago
A boy dreamed of beauty and love
But you know how life is
He had to go far

Spend years and years
A life in quest
In cold pain
Kept that sparkle deep in his heart

Some day
Some strange day
He bumped into this girl
In the dark
And he got struck

By silence

Morgenpost

Zwanghaftes Begehren und Verzicht
Oder die Liebe zum Leben
Und der Sinn
Der daraus entspringt?

Aussprache

Ich weiß nicht wie groß sie ist
Sie versteckt sich von der Sonne
Wenn ich dich treff
Dein Auge kann sie nicht erblicken
Wie auch der Mond sie nicht erkennt

Anfangs war sie nur ein Funke
Auf deinen Regentropfen
Sie ist ein Brand geworden
Auf deine See

Wir stammen beide aus derselben Quelle
Aber jetzt will ich in deinem Wasser eintauchen
Es erhitzen und zu Dunst erheben
Die Luft mit den Gezeiten bewegen
Und mich abkühlen

Anrede zum Leben

Ich bin nur Flamme, Durst und Schrei und Brand.
Durch meiner Seele enge Mulden schießt die Zeit
Wie dunkles Wasser, heftig, rasch und unerkannt.
Auf meinem Leibe brennt das Mal: Vergänglichkeit.

Du aber bist der Spiegel, über dessen Rund
Die großen Bäche alles Lebens geh'n,
Und hinter dessen quellend gold'nem Grund
Die toten Dinge schimmernd aufersteh'n.

Mein Bestes glüht und lischt – ein irrer Stern,
Der in den Abgrund blauer Sommernächte fällt –
Doch deiner Tage Bild ist hoch und fern,
Ewiges Zeichen, schützend um dein Schicksal hergestellt.

- Ernst Maria Richard Stadler, Anrede

Tigress

I have a ravenous tiger within me
which always waits for me
and I for her,
I hate her and she hates me, and she wants to kill me
but i hope that she will become friendly
with time.

She has her teeth on my heart, her claws on my mind
and for my own sake
I fight for her
And she makes me hate all the good things in this world
so that i can sing to her with the deepest of sorrows.

She forces me to cross mountains, valleys and chasms
in order to embrace her
in the wildest of dances,
And when, at cold nights, she remembers her cages
she lends me her pelt
to wear.

And when sometimes we lie drunk,
almost in peace,
so that each one can sleep,
this still silence is like the one before the storm,
like the final moment
before she attacks.

- Chainides / Psarantonis

(what a joy for the one who tamed her)

Life is alive

Life is about love, beauty 'n' joy
Love grows as we master rhythm and timing
Joy grows as we master love
Beauty is there
At home
Move!

Rishi

„Auseinander fliegen meine Ohren, auseinander mein Auge, auseinander dies Licht, das in mein Herz gesetzt ist. Fort wandert mein Denken – mein Sinnen ist in der Ferne. Was denn werde ich sagen und was werde ich jetzt erkennen?“

Rigveda

Mutation

- it is the key to our evolution.
It has enabled us to evolve
from a single-celled organism...
into the dominant species
on the planet.
This process is slow and normally taking
thousands and thousands of years.
But every few hundred millennia,
evolution leaps forward.

Six weeks ago,
I was ordinary and pathetic.
Just like you.
But who am I now?
Account manager?
Assassin?
Or just another tool who was mind-fucked into killing his father?
I am all of these.
And I am none of these.
Who am I now?
This is not me fulfilling my destiny.
This is not me following in my father's footsteps.
This is definitely not me saving the world.

- Still trying to figure out who you are?

This is not me.
This is just a motherfucking decoy.

- Oh, fuck.

This is me taking control.
From Sloan,
from the Fraternity,
from Janice, from billing reports,
from ergonomic keyboards,
from cheating girlfriends and sack-of-shit best friends.
This is me taking back control
of my life.

- What the fuck have You done lately?
