Jeder geht seinen Weg für sich allein, doch ganz oft ist es wichtig zu wissen, daß man doch nicht alleine ist - und vieles geht besser zusammen. - Es darf fröhlich, beschwingt sein, jedenfalls keine traurige Ballade.

This is a song about recovery from addiction. I wrote it personally for recovery from an eating disorder, but in reality it can be any addiction. “Addiction is a monster hiding inside your closet; recovery is the flashlight scaring away that monster. Don’t ever think that scaring away that monster is impossible. What’s impossible is thinking you have to live in that sane room where your monster lies for the rest of your life. It’s time to shine; scare away that monster.”

This lyric is both quite serious and also tongue in cheek simultaneously. If that makes sense. Do you get to a point where you are sick of people not taking you seriously? I think we all do. But I'll tell you simply, I Am Not A Joke

Juggernaut is a heavy metal style lyric. It encompasses everything. Whatever was, is now, and whatever will be. Ambiguous, but blunt, forceful, open to interpretation.

This song is about being caught up in my addiction, and realizing what a liar I was. I was a thief, I was a taker, I was so selfish. But it's also about divine intervention. God came into my life and helped me get clean and sober. From that point on I saw no use and going backwards, no use in lying through life. Today things are so much different for me, I live a happy positive life, and I get to write about it.
