Hello $3+ Patrons!
I say collaboration... basically Feline wrote all the music and words, and I doodled some piano haha. Standard.
Anyway - this is the ballad version. We have a full scale mega-masterpiece version + video coming soon, so watch out for that.
The song is about the fall of the Berlin wall - something that Feline and Christoph experienced, which had a profound affect on both their lives, as you can imagine. The song is also emotional and withdrawn, with a parallel meaning of separating yourself from someone else, building up borders and walls between you.
I hope you like it, there are two mixes so please download and choose whichever you prefer! The lyrics are as follows...
The Wall
I could see you, Clearly, All the time
I did know you, Dearly, You were mine
We´ve done nothing, ever, to go wrong
Now we won´t be, never, here for long
The border grows from the ground - like an ugly weed
The border falls from the sky - like an asteroid
The border is made by men - who want to destroy
The border is nothing - but a doomsday ploy
There between us is a wall
Much too high to hear you call
For a doorway much too thick
Every word is just a brick
Here between us is a wall
But I still am standing tall
I will climb it if I must
And will fall into the dust
The border shifts with the mind – like a poisonous breeze
The border maims love and faith – kills with murderous ease
The border blocks sight, thought and peace with bricks made from hate
The border is bigger than everything, the border is fate
How can humans – weaklings – break a wall
Will we ever – live to – see it fall
No one wants it – no one – but it looms
F: and still no one – dares to – throw it down
Here between us is a wall - I am having a big fall
Shards get buried in the dirt - No one sees how much I´m hurt
There between us is a wall - Separating what is all
We have ever been and done - All the keys have long been gone
