War Night

(Erika Poling)

Tonight's depression at its worst. Tonight's creativity at its best.

Looking at the television 
Straight ahead, tunnel vision 
A transic state, never drifting 
Cryptic thoughts begin to set in 

Society is kind of twisted 
Smiling when you’re the victim
Trying to tell you that your sick and 
That you’re basic, not acidic 

I prefer a deeper lifestyle 
One that’s worthwhile, 
One that I would die for, 
I can feel it in my core 

Tonight’s the night, I go to war 
Tonight’s the finale, that I’m sure 

I don’t want to be here anymore 

Everyday, I wake with hate
Monday to Sunday, it’s all the same  
Oh today, what a shame 
Fast forward, tomorrow never came 

I couldn’t bear the weight
So today’s the date 
So today, it’s too late  

A cryptic ending was my fate 

Rewind just one more time 
I count the hours passing by 

Tonight’s the night, I go to war
Tonight’s the finale, that I’m sure 
Tonight’s the night, I go to war
Tonight’s the finale, that I’m sure 

Tonight’s the night, Tonight’s the night 
Tonight’s the night, that I would die for 
I can feel it in my core, I can feel it in my core 

I don’t want to be here anymore,
I don’t want to be here anymore 

And I can feel it in my core,

Tonight’s the night, I go to war

Butterfly (oh my, my)

By Erika Poling

Personifying the monarch as comparable to a love interest allows the lyrics to create colorful images of smilies and metaphors. This species lives approximately nine months, which is how long the relationship lasted. Pure poetry to a woman who reminded the writer of a blue and brown butterfly she sighted in her garden. The idea was influenced by a summer experience on a humid day in July.

Sunset

By Erika Poling

Two people who come off to the world as heartless, secretly understand each other's needs. Not getting attached or surrendering to one's feelings is a common attitude found in today's hook-up culture. But, many people have stronger emotions brooding beneath the surface they often fear to express. The lyrics mention two people who love each other, but prefer to keep their "private" life... well private. Hooking up turns into making love, and secretly we all desire affection.

Ein Vorhang aus Glas

By Jana Breuling

Der Text beschreibt eine vorsichtige Begegnung mit dem Leben, die zunächst zaghaft erfolgt, geschützt, durch einen gläsernen Vorhang. Immer wieder gibt es Phasen im Leben, in denen man sich zurückzieht, in einen geschützten Bereich. Dass in solchen Phasen jedoch auch viel Einsamkeit und Stillstand besteht, ist die Kehrseite. Der Text soll ermuntern, den gläsernen Vorhang zu durchbrechen, etwas zu riskieren und ein Leben in Fülle zu führen.
