lyrics

Lyrics:

Cut my heart open wide on this restless slide
And deny there is a bright side to it all
Gun in hand and aiming at the tiny lights
Well I don´t wanna see the bright side of it all

Could have been knocked out
But I´m on my feet
Could have been an ice cube
In the August heat
Could have been a watchdog
On a golden chain
Could have been summer
Drowned in autumn rain

My heart is cut open wide on a restless slide
And I don´t wanna see the bright side to it all
With my eyes shut blind to the tiny lights
Well I don´t wanna see the bright side to it all

Could have been miraculous
Or a numbered goat
Somewhere inbetween
I watch the pictures float
Could have been fireworks
In a high lit sky
Anything and nothing
But why should I

Cut my heart open wide on this restless slide
And deny there is a bright side to it all
Gun in hand and aiming at the tiny lights
Well I don´t wanna see the bright side to it all

Could have been banned from the light
But it´s not like that
Could have been chosen to be cynical, some iron failure
Led to believe I was lost
But it´s snot like that
Under my eyelids, there´s ma bright side to it all.

Could have broken
By some twist of fate
Well, we just carry on now
Neither wrecked nor straight
You know what it feels like
You´ve been there as well
No it´s not a problem
No it´s not a problem

Forgotten line, yet a part of your last design
And I would never see the bright side to it all
Turn myself into ghost with a concrete spine
And I would never see the bright side to it all

Could have been banned from the light
But it´s not like that
Could have been chosen to be cynical, some iron failure
Led to believe I was lost
But it´s not like that
Under my eyelids, there´s my bright side to it all
My bright side to it all.

EAR Berlin, Germany

Once upon a time, two drama students started recording songs together. Since then, EAR have released 8 albums, the latest one being ELYSIAN FIELDS in Jan. 2015. Originally started as a kind of Lo Fi studio project with electronic influences, you could now describe their music as indie pop. They are 100% independent and like it like that! ... more
