LIVING IN LIMBO

(Adrian Mallinson)

Feeling fed up with fast, urban existence. A need to escape from a monotonous but well-paid job and do soething fulfilling and creative.

A POCKET FULL OF DOLLARS BUT NO SPRING IN MY STRIDE
MY MIND’S ABSORBED, MY MIND’S DEGRADED

I WANNA CUT LOOSE AND DO THINGS MY WAY
I’M CRUSHED BY NUMBERS AND I FEEL SO JADED

THE FAÇADE IS GETTING TOUGHER TO MAINTAIN
IT’S AN ACT, IT’S A LIE, I’M JUST PRETENDING 

UP AND DOWN LIKE A YO-YO I’M LIVING IN LIMBO
LIVING IN LIMBO, LIVING IN LIMBO

END OF THE DAY AND I LOOSEN MY COLLAR
YANK OFF MY TIE AND ITS DOWN TO THE BAR

I PAY FOR THE DRINKS AS THE SUN GOES DOWN
I FEEL SO LIGHT, I COULD FLY SO FAR

BUT IT STARTS AGAIN WHEN THE MORNING COMES
I PUT MY MASK ON AND HOPE I DON’T SUFFOCATE

UP AND DOWN LIKE A YO-YO I’M LIVING IN LIMBO
LIVING IN LIMBO, LIVING IN LIMBO

ONE OF THESE DAYS I’M GONNA BREAK THE PATTERN
FIND MY RHYTHM AND GO MY WAY

I KNOW I CAN MAKE IT, I JUST NEED TO BELIEVE
BELIEVE IN ME AND A BETTER DAY

I KNOW I CAN STOP THE NUMBERS CRUNCHING
CHANGE THE SCRIPT AND BREATHE AGAIN

UP AND DOWN LIKE A YO-YO I’M LIVING IN LIMBO
LIVING IN LIMBO, LIVING IN LIMBO

Melomedic

By JOEL

A fast and up beat song with a particularly melodic chorus in which the lyrical I promises a second person to be their cure and to make them lose their worries and doubts. The song is intended as a fast pop song that is intended to put the listener in a good mood.

Mr. Cool

By Andrea Pflüger

Diese Situation kennen wahrscheinlich viele Menschen. Man streitet sich oder trennt sich gar und es fällt einem dann schwer, auf den anderen zuzugehen, sich zu entschuldigen oder miteinander zu reden. Nach außen hin will man sich seine Gefühle/Leiden nicht anmerken lassen, da man Angst hat, dass dies ein Zeichen von Schwäche wäre. Doch oftmals ist es es einfach wert, über seinen Schatten zu springen. Dies gilt auch für die Mrs. Cool.
