Aliens Don't Change Lanes
It’s them – they’re here again
The aliens that speak sand
They bend the space
They loop the time
They want to understand
Why humans are so beautiful
Yet spiteful little things sometimes
The universe is a big place
And there’s still some room to grow
Aliens don’t change lanes
It’s them – they’ve come tonight
The aliens with no face
They spin the words
They turn the worlds
To find another space
Their potential is beautiful
Beyond our wildest hopes and dreams
If only we could grow a bit
And rise to earn their trust
Some time from now it all will seem
Yes, momentarily so clear
The understanding will keep sinking in
It’ll drive away the fear
Yet the aliens, they’re here
We must keep on learning
Yet none of us speaks sand
It’s them – they came at last
The aliens of the past
They learn our ways
They teach us means
To build a change that lasts
We need all help that we can get
They'll only get us started, oh
We have to go the extra mile
But none of us speaks sand!
Some time from now it all will seem
Yes, momentarily so clear
The understanding will keep sinking in
It’ll drive away the fear
Yet the aliens, they’re here
We must keep on learning
Yet none of us speaks sand
Aliens don’t change lanes
Memory
There are so many things I don’t remember
So many moments that I think are dead to me
Passages in books that I’m quite sure I’ve read
Storylines and heroes gone for good
It’s almost as if there is no continuum
No endless chain of days to call a life
The snapshots follow one another
In a manner that is rather disconnected from reality
(Memory)
Memory, oh so quiet
(Memory)
Where are you?
(Memory)
Where are you?
(Memory)
I once thought dementia came down when you’re older
Me, I’ve forgotten since the day that I was born
Connections that are flooded by the stream of time
Old ideas that I think I had – all gone
The tears in the rain, now lost forever
They glitter only by Tannhäuser Gate
The android sleeping, dreaming of the sheep
How Rutger made him real by nothing but the simple make believe?
(Memory)
Memory, oh so quiet
(Memory)
Where are you?
(Memory)
Where are you?
(Memory)
Yet there are things that I don’t want to remember
Things that haunt me when I go to sleep
The ghosts of the past lurk right behind the curtain of reality
The curtain of reality
(Memory)
Memory, oh so quiet
(Memory)
Where are you?
(Memory)
Where are you?
(Memory)
