Das ist eine fiktive Auseinandersetzung mit dem zunehmenden Drogenkonsum unserer Generation. Es beginnt verherrlichend in der ersten Strophe, in der zweiten und dritten folgt der Absturz und am Ende die Auflösung durch in Anspruch genommene Hilfe.

We live in a world where even those who claim to be charitable can be among the most greedy. As a kid, I remember hearing the story of Robert Johnson, King of the Delta Blues, and how he sold his soul to the Devil at a southern crossroads for fame and fortune. I used to sit around and wonder if other rich and powerful, greedy people made similar deals to step on the rest of us as they climb up the golden ladders of their ivory towers. This song is about the Devil speaking to these people to whom he's given Earthly wealth, before he ultimately collects. Is it all worth it? Well, if you don't have a soul...

Ein Mensch lernt, sich fallen zu lassen.

This song is about defiance, about finding the strength to stand up for yourself and refusing to bow to anyone. Reclaiming all that fear has robbed you of.

A song about depression and the ruinous effect that feelings of emptiness can have on a person.
