is anybody out there?
is someone there outside myself?
what happens when I close my eyes?
is everything I realise
in truth?
is anybody out there?
is someone there outside my head?
will I perceive whatever holds
the world together in it's
inmost folds?
I hope that everything I do
and everything you want me to
is real!
imagine what it means to be
the only one - just fantasy
surrounds you!
I pray
that all I know is not a simple fiction
that anyone of you exists outside my mind!
I pray
that life is not a mental contradiction
that trees are falling in the woods
and so they do when no one looks
that things behind my back are real
and all my fears are no big deal
I pray!
is anybody out there?
is someone there outside my thoughts?
the world is real inside our heads
in vicious boxes we kill cats
and let them resurrect
is anybody out there?
is someone there outside my mind?
how many worlds are needed
till the one I know is treated
like it should be
I look at this - I look at that
I try to turn around to head
for nothing
and everywhere I look around
I see the world, I hear the sound
of living (is it real?)
I pray
that all I know is not a simple fiction
that anyone of you exists outside my mind!
I pray
that life is not a mental contradiction
that trees are falling in the woods
and so they do when no one looks
that things behind my back are real
and all my fears are no big deal
I pray!
is all I know and all I see
just the echo of my ego?
what is there?
what is real?
does anyone exist to know
the reason and where we go?
don't you know
what I feel?

Do You...?
04:14

do you really know about my fears?
have you ever seen my innermost?
did you ever see my secret tears?
will you never dispel these shadows?
do you really think the end is near?
have you ever tried to turn around?
did you always see the truth so clear?
there seems not a piece of common ground.
look at me!
don’t tell me that it’s over!
turn around don’t close this door!
I never want to hear these lies again!
do you really wish to run and hide?
have you ever reached out for some more?
did you always try to turn the tide?
what was your promise standing for?
look at me!
don’t tell me that it’s over!
turn around don’t close this door!
I never want to hear these lies again!
look at me
there was a time we could laugh together
I guess these days are passed forever
I’ll never see you smile at me – again

microClocks Bochum, Germany
“Will microClocks become as good as Depeche Mode?“
The oh-so independent and impartial
“Bild”, Germany’s most famous tabloid paper, entitled an article about microClocks with these words some time ago. Since then, the yellow press has been obsessing about this question more than the band itself. The comparison with the celebrities from Basildon falls short… but still ennobles the band!
