Hat Off To Rimbaud, But My Eyes Are On The Road

PART I: HAT OFF TO RIMBAUD

I think I forgot how to write

What do you think? Am I right?

Will this dark and dull night finally sink in the blue sky?

It seems true

All the things we’ve gone through were only this foul play’s crew

Still, I cannot help myself wondering

If he were here, what would Zimmerman do?


An electric train working perfectly goes with the flow all year long

But my soul and your visions always stay here where they belong

Hard to see, impossible to hear

But easy, so easy to feel

Everything around me I think they’re not real

Whatever, I smell a sense

Guess I’ll need a shelter


Now I hear the rain falling

It’s calling me

Should I give it a hand or let it flow?

Would it matter in the end?

Don't you dare say no


Cause I hear my life falling

It’s calling me

Should I give it a hand or let it flow?

Would it matter in the end?

To despair I'm no home


Violin playing in the background although it doesn't make me do anything

The smoke of my cigarettes fill the room

Do I really believe that doom and gloom is everything?

Time goes by, newborn babies cry

Up in the sky, a dark bird flies too high

Sings that I could have failed big, but I did give up on the right thing


Now I hear the rain falling

It’s calling me

Should I give it a hand or let it flow?

Would it matter in the end?

Don't you dare say no


Cause I hear my life falling

It’s calling me

Should I give it a hand or let it flow?

Would it matter in the end?

To despair I'm no home


PART II: BUT MY EYES ARE ON THE ROAD

With every slowly passing year

Many things that you hold dear

Get deflated and fade out


She's not a fiery pretty fairy

He's not your guide, he's an accessary

Don't worship fake gods


Tame your heart, have one desire

Don't run into it, but use the fire

May hope be on patrol


Move towards it till you're weary

Feel the love, but don't you worry

"What's behind the door?"


Because we don't know anything about it all...
