Broken Lullaby

(Karlo Čavlović)

A broken lullaby is a metaphor for the voices in our heads telling us that we are not enough and that our life is meaningless. The lullaby symbolically tries to put you to sleep, but sleep, in this sense, is neverending. Our everyday demons try to make us believe that our sadness is forever, even though it isn't.

My Broken Lullaby Wants to put me down to sleep And my demons try and try To bury me, bury me deep I locked myself in a panic room And now my head's Got a rendezvous With all my fears All my darkest truths I can hear the music With a bloody tune And if I follow the sound I'm going six feet down I got a gun to my head I think I'm losing myself My Broken Lullaby Wants to put me down to sleep And my demons try and try To bury me, bury me deep I'm in hell With my life on loop And I'm wondering How low can I stoop How many days 'till I lose control 'till the devil's choir Gets me on the ropes If I follow it's sound I'm going six feet down I got a rope round my neck But it feels like a crown My Broken Lullaby Wants to put me down to sleep And my demons try and try To bury me, bury me deep My broken lullaby Wants to put me down to sleep How will I survive If I can only weep

Hazel Eyes

By Karlo Čavlović


No matter how hard we try, some relationships simply don't work out. This type of a breakup hurts even more because you know you've given it your all and it still didn't work out. You're bound to leave a person you still love with your whole heart, knowing that, there is nothing else you can do.

Monster's Fed

By Karlo Čavlović


A song about a relationship full of turmoil and lies. Sometimes these lies can get into your head to the point that they become closer to the truth than they ever should be while the other person is the one who's actually destroying the relationship.

By your side

By Sherab Lhamo

Slipping away

By Howard Aronson


This lyric is about the backslide into addiction, knowing it, being sick and tired of it, and wanting to do something about it. It's about wanting to find some strength so I don't continue to fall. If anybody's a hiker, they'll know that hiking in the fall, after most of the leaves have fallen is very difficult when you're descending a Mountain. There's also the shadows that make it tough to see the rock that might be exposed or even sometimes how wet the leaves are. Because there's not as much light in the woods my shadows look longer, and cover up more ground. It's snowing all of this information, and having the experience of falling, that I have to change some of the things that I do when I hike and also some of the things that I do in life to keep me from slipping and falling. The more my life keeps slipping away, the harder it is to keep getting back up.

Der Eismann

By Georg Wagner (GeWa)


Wenn einsame Ehefrauen mutig werden und sich trauen. Wenn es an der Haustür drei Mal läutet, wissen zwei Menschen, was das bedeutet. Der Eismann lässt einsame Frauen - wieder auftauen.
