about

When I look at how young women in particular often use chemical products completely uncritically to look beautiful, I occasionally wonder what goes on inside them. "Sophistication" tells the story of a young woman who has learned to adapt to this perfection mania, but occasionally realizes that she has moved far away from the dreams of her childhood.

lyrics

SOPHISTICATION

In the morning mirror you see a little girl
After half an hour she shines like a pearl

She's a creation of sophistication
The elimination of truth

Whoever sees her believes, that she is proud
How she feels inside no one really knows

Nearly perfection of sophistication
Just an illusion of joy

Sometimes she wakes up from her dream at night
And then she sees the world with open eyes

Every day she plays the role of absolute control
Everything, that hurts, she hides behind a smile
Again and again and after a while
She almost forgets, why she falls

Is there really no one near her, who could show her the right way?
Well she could be so much more - more than just a well-behaved doll

More than just a well-behaved doll

In the late evening she is still a little girl
Just a lonely child in a scary world

No more perfection or sophistication
She' needs redemption of love.

"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. ... more
