Once upon a time we resisted every storm And we spent our live with passion and devotion Without fear or doubt we were quite natural And our love was our ocean When the dream began, we were making plans But it went to fast, we just didn't have a chance Then sorrow came upon us and took you away And now we grief for you in this holy place We‘ll meet at heaven's gate, this is the end I know that It’s too late, goodbye my friend Now that you are gone I despair of life The bright shining sun will never give me comfort I don‘t understand how I could survive It feels like dying in a wasteland We’ll meet at heaven's gate, this is the end I know that It’s too late, goodbye my friend Goodbye my friend, goodbye my friend You were dancing in the headlight. I was deeply impressed You‘re still in my mind, at that time I was blessed. Once upon a time we resisted every storm And we spent our live with passion and devotion Without fear or doubt we were quite natural And our love was our ocean We'll meet at heaven's gate (We'll meet at heaven's gate) This is the end (It's the end) I know that It’s too late (It's too late), goodbye my friend In the moonlight, sitting here staring into space In the darkness, I'm sure I can see your face I will never understand why I couldn't catch your hand And when you passed away, I cried out loud: Please stay!

She was like a rolling stone, she was never one her own She was one of a kind, her eyes made me blind Then we were together, together we were strong — Strong and linked forever, then something went wrong She was like a rolling stone since she left her home She was like a lost child with fear in her mind Ashes to ashes and dust to dust, she was a victim of wanderlust She was my lady, but that was just before she passed away She's away, she's away, she's away She was like a rolling stone, later she calmed down She got nearly kind, like a beautiful mind This crafty lovely lady drove me insane I was wrapped around her finger — and then we started again (Again, again, again, again) She was like a rolling stone, now I am on my own We were two of a kind, she's still in my mind (She's still in my mind) Ashes to ashes and dust to dust, she was a victim of wanderlust She was my lady, but that was just before she passed away A smile in my face, when I remember, what we had A purple haze in my mind, a memory — ivy-clad

I floated in a sea of glow, a feeling that I didn't know I lived in the arms of dreams with you Days were like the early morn, hope and trust were reborn I lived in a purple cloud with you I know we spent our days in neverland, neverland (Captured in a wonderland) We both — we were sure it would never end, never end We built castles in the air, you know, about a future that we could grow My life would be fulfilled and free with you And our days were really without worries, and our souls without a shame A love under a cherry tree with you I know we spent our days in neverland, neverland (We were living in a wonderland) Neverland, Neverland, Neverland The big turn comes overnight, a truth I had to recognize One day life is full of light and the other full of bad surprises In retrospect I wonder, if I couldn't have done more And sometimes I want to go there, where my only love has gone Neverland, neverland, neverland, neverland, neverland Neverland, neverland, neverland, neverland, neverland I floated in a sea of glow, a feeling that I didn't know I lived in the arms of dreams with you Days were like the early morn, hope and trust were reborn I lived in a purple cloud with you

Togetherness 05:21
If you believe in me, I will believe in you If you forget the time, I will stay by your side When we are side by side I feel safe and secure We are two of a kind, you got me hypnotized If you have faith in us, I am the one for you If you have trust in us, you are the one for me When you are close to me, I feel close to myself We are two of a kind, I'm you and you are me Late in the night, a whisper from the deep, much too quiet to hear it An anxious voice in my head, getting louder, but you took away my fear
5.
Nightmare 05:19
Yesterday I dreamt a dream, you were here next to me I was so familiar with you, this good feeling that I knew I have a premonition of something terrible I got to call you honey, 'cause I have to know Is everything OK? Will you come back to me? And do you love me? Sometimes I have a bad dream You lie motionless on the ground and I hear this creepy sound I'm on my knees beside you, paralyzed with fear And I don't know what to do I have a premonition of something horrible I got to talk to you, I need to hear your voice Is everything all right? When does your flight arrive? And Baby, do you still love me? Fear is growing every night, in my dreams there's something frightening A threat is coming close to your door, and every day it's getting closer than the day before And I try to catch your hand and I try to comprehend what's going on I would never ever leave you behind, there is pain and fear in my mind "Hello… Hi… Hey well… uh... Something like a nightmare you know…it was terrible … I thought… uh… forget about it... I'm so happy 'bout your call…"

Addiction 04:14
When you are far away, a week or a day, a dread in my head grows I feel insecure, when you are not here and I fear the worst And then I can't wait You smile kills the hate Your eyes give me trust Your lips let me love And then everything is alright I'm not quite the man I used to be, because you captured me I feel incomplete, my desires are bitter sweet, 'cos I'm addicted to you Yes I'm addicted to you And then I can't wait (And then I can't wait) Your smile makes me confident (Your…) Your eyes shine on me (Your eyes shine on me) Your lips set me free And then everything is alright I'm living in a world of rumors, I never thought I'd be so jealous I thought that I could be a dreamer, I know, that I should be a believer When you are far away, a week or a day, a dread in my head grows I feel insecure, when you are not here and I fear the worst I'm going crazy for you And then I can't wait (And then I can't wait) You smile kills the hate (You smile kills, your…) Your eyes give me trust (Your eyes give me trust) Your lips let me love And then everything is alright

Halloween 04:17
It was the night of danger — you could see it in her cold dark eyes There was a certain anger behind the makeup on her face Can't see the daylight between the shades of a dream I live for my little bride, love Halloween on heroin It's just compulsive, it’s hard to die or to live I am addicted to love, like Halloween on heroin It was the time of coldness — I could feel it in all limbs and toes There was a certain moment as she slipped into another world Can't see the daylight between the shades of a dream I live for my little bride, love Halloween on heroin It's just compulsive, it's hard to die or to live I am addicted to love, like Halloween on heroin It was the night of danger — you could see it in her cold dark eyes There was a certain anger behind the makeup on her face Can't see the daylight (Can't see the daylight) Between the shades of a dream (Of a dream) I live for my little bride, love Halloween on heroin It's just compulsive (It's just compulsive) It's hard to die or to live (Or to live) I am addicted to love, like Halloween on heroin Like Halloween… on heroin
8.
Crime 07:13
I drowned in the mist of time, in the distance I could hear a chime Opened my eyes after the night, opened the door to my biggest fright I can hear you crying, I know that you’re falling I woke up in early fall — in the morning I got a call I fell back into the chair, a message, that I couldn't bear I can hear you crying, I know that you’re falling I need to know what to do, have to believe, that I'm dreaming a bad dream I need know to what to do, I'm in a bad dream I'm in a nightmare Nightmare Bad dream Nightmare
9.
Dreamer 05:02
Day by day I'm waiting here, looking for a sign Every night I'm telling her about my desires When the sun rises I get a little calmer And I believe: She's just a dreamer Since that night we're drifting between death and life And I wish, that we both will survive Girl I know (Girl I know) The moment of truth is getting closer (Truth is getting closer) But my heart wants to believe: You're just a dreamer Dream, dream, dream again, can you feel my hand? I would do everything, if you could rise from the dead She's a dreamer, She's a dreamer She's a dreamer, she fights with the fever? She's a dreamer, she fights to rise from the dead

Despair 04:45
I lost my zest for life, I always saw your smile in the shadows Finally - we lost the fight Well I can see your eyes behind the window pane We spent our days and nights in a dream world and I cared about you Now I’m in the middle of a nightmare, don’t know, what to do I've lost the best of life I find myself alone in the shadows Finally - I had to let go Well I can’t see your smile anymore, anymore We spent our life as one in a dream world (Dreamworld) And I cared about you Now I’m in the middle of a nightmare Don’t know, what to do (Nightmare) Don’t know, what to do (Nightmare) I cared about you (Nightmare) Don’t know, what to do (Nightmare) I cared about you We spent our life as one in a dream world (Dreamworld) And I cared about you Now I’m in the middle of a nightmare In the middle of the nightmare (Middle of the nightmare) Don’t know, what to do (Nightmare) I cared about you (Nightmare) Don’t know, what to do (Nightmare) I cared about you (Nightmare, Nightmare)

Deep in my heart there is a black cave Since you've been gone, since you were torn away I'm dying The more I try to forget the more memories take me back You left a gap in my life, don't know how to survive You fulfilled my life, you gave me salvation And I wonder why… why I'm still here? The more I try to move on the more memories hold me down You left a hole in my heart, have to go through the dark Have to go through the dark You fulfilled my life, you gave me salvation (you gave me salvation) And I wonder why… why I'm still here? You fulfilled my life (You fulfilled my life) You gave me salvation (You gave me salvation) And I wonder why… why I'm still here? Did you notice that I feel betrayed? Can't stand the loneliness for another day I was always calm and filled with love and care Why did you take us apart? It isn't fair! I should take a gun and have a killing fun Tell me why I should wait Yes — I should create my personal happy end I should terminate this bloody game Did you notice that I am full of pain? Can't stand the emptiness and a life in chains (And a life in chains) I was always full of confidence and fortitude Why did you take her away from me? (Why did you take her away?) Oh Lord (Oh Lord) I should grab a gun and have a killing fun Who can stop me now? (No one) I should free my mind from the flow of time Yes — I should define the ultimate end I'm waiting for the end, I try to comprehend that time will heal my world. Our love was so intense and I can feel your hands in mine I will wait Uuh! I will wait

The rain was falling on your face and you're still there I will always be a friend of the way we were Raindrops fell down, down on your cheek I didn't expect it this way I really found myself on that day Right in the eyes of an angel I drifted through the years but in the end I met you You took my fears away — on that magical day Me and you in the rain, I thought I was dreaming and the dream became true Me and you in the rain, we both were running and dancing in the rain You looked at me and I was lost The following summer was truly like heaven on earth At that time I began to believe in rebirth Blessed through the eyes of an angel Me and you in the rain (In the rain) I thought I was dreaming and the dream became true (A dream became true) Me and you in the rain (In the rain) We both were running and dancing in the rain (We were dancing in the rain) I know those days are gone, I waited just too long Me and you in the rain, I thought I was dreaming and the dream became true Me and you in the rain, we both were running and dancing in the rain The rain was falling on your face and you're still there I will always be a friend of the way we were Terra mater, mea culpa Quot deus bene vertat Tempus fugit amor manet Libera me, agnus dei

about

UEBERSCHAER Bremen, Germany

"I study trends curiously, but without following them. I love music, which exceeds the limits of clichés. I am very open- minded and hungry for knowledge.

I don’t have to try to reinvent music with each chord, but I am trying to improve and develop myself constantly. In Composing I can explore and discover. I can conquer new worlds, express feelings and create and juggle with sounds and tones.
