Golden Cage

You’re sitting in his cage
While he’s standing there on stage
While you give up all your hopes
He sings your songs
Sick and tired of the day
Not a single word you say
About his mistakes
Hey, don’t you see he’s wrong
Feelings pulled apart by him
And the day went home
And kissed you on your nose
On your nose
Don’t you listen all these screams
He swears like he’s stung by bees
He shows you up
And he’s feeling always right
Look right through your window pane
Are you crazy? Are you sane?
There’s a way outside
You could take out of his cage
Feelings pulled apart by him
And the day went home
And kissed you on your nose
On your nose
You’re no more sitting in his cage
While he’s standing there on stage
While you gave up all your hopes
He sang your songs
Sick and tired of the day?
Now a billion words you say
About his mistakes
Hey, now you see he’s wrong
Feelings pulled apart by him
And the day went home
And kissed you on your nose
And the day went home
And kissed you on your nose
And the day went home
And kissed you on your nose
And the day went home
And kissed you on your nose
On your nose

Start again
Love to love
Like the berries in the fields
start to walk
breathe the air
Like the berries in the fields
Close the door
seek the sun
leave the city at the night
search to search
and know to know
leave the city at the night
like today
like today
like today
like today
Stop to think that no-one knows
why the moon reflects the sun
ask to ask
and live to live
Like the berries in the fields
like today
like today
like today
like today
(Like today, like today, like today, in one day)
At the end
spread your wings
leave the world with a smile

Achterbahn
05:53

Was hast Du getan,
dass sie nicht mehr lacht?
Dein Wort war zu viel
hab' ich mir gedacht.
Und nach langem hin und her
kam ich zu dem Schluss:
Du redest nur Stuss!
Und immer, wenn Du kommst
wird mir furchtbar kalt.
Und das nächste Mal, wenn Du kommst,
schicke ich Dich in den Wald hinein.
Jetzt geht es ihr schlecht.
Was hast Du getan?
Ihr Leben ist eh
wie eine Achterbahn.
Und am Ende jeder Fahrt
will sie wieder heim,
doch durch Dein Geschwätz
steigt sie wieder ein.
Und immer, wenn Du kommst
wird mir furchtbar kalt.
Und das nächste Mal, wenn Du kommst,
schicke ich Dich in den Wald hinein.
Und immer, wenn Du kommst
wird mir furchtbar kalt.
Und das nächste Mal, wenn Du kommst,
schicke ich Dich in den Wald hinein.

In the desert
In the sunlight
When you're screaming for your life
When you're lost in the oceans
Will you call for me?
You are chased by your fears
And your tears are not yet dry
When you feel like in a tunnel
Will you call for me?
I warned you long ago
you're only listening to the sea
Now you're waiting for redemption
When you call for me
You will vanish into thin air
Every memory will be lost
When you're crying for forgiveness
Will you call for me?
Your fears will live forever
You will keep them in your soul
When you're looking in the mirror
Will you call for me?
Your name will be forgotten
like you never have been here
It's like walking through the wall
When you call for me
You are shipwrecked
You are broken
You're like sand in my hands
Now you want to stop the time
When you call for me
You have pushed me through the house
With a laughter and a smile
and You never took a prisoner
When you call for me
There are scratches in the sky
and those lines will write your name
It's like living in the darkness
when you call for me
I still live in your dreams
with a mask right on my face
when you wake up in your sweat
Will you call for me?

November
05:30

Sometimes it’s better to sleep and let the day pass away
Especially in November when the trees begin to rest
You better run
You better breathe
You better say what you need
Your past is catching up with you when your personal history repeats
And as the saying goes: It’s striking closer to home!
You better run
You better breathe
You better say what you need
Like the days on the motorways the scenery was astoundingly beautiful
As the times of happiness weren’t over
The final chapter has not yet been written
Yeah the final chapter has not yet begun
You better run
You better breathe
You better say what you need
I know it drives you crazy
when the steering wheel is in someone else’s hand
And it doesn’t get any better in the long run if you try to lean back
You better run
You better breathe
You better say what you need
You better run
You better live on

Days In Slow Motion
03:11
|
|||
|
You feel settled down forever
although the door’s not really closed
Between the darkness and her soft kisses
You hear her laughter behind your back
Enjoy the bitter pill of consciousness
While your feet are chained to the chair
And as the life goes on outside
You feel alone, alone at home
You experience the days in slow motion
With time you grow tired and sick
You count the pigeons that make their beds
You grow old, slowly and white
Finally the heavy door re-opens
And you dare to take the first step out
You enjoy the fresh air again
No longer alone, alone at home

The Saw

Youth was a lie!
We forced ourselves into cordial suits
It was a lie
When we kissed we were surrounded by stones
We heard giants and we danced the saw

Undergrowth
04:06

|
I promised to wait
Just to wait until I’ll see you again
I’m learning your most, your most favorite song
Until my fingers will bleed
will bleed
I’m walking around
The smell of undergrowth goes straight into my head
Into my head
Into my heart
Through my eyes
Through my soul
Into my head
Into my heart
Through my eyes
Through my soul
The moon and the stars whisper in my ear
Their most peculiar secrets
They’re shining on you
And they're shining on me
That’s what’s binding us together in the middle of the night
I’m walking around
The smell of fresh air goes straight into my head
Into my head
Into my heart
Through my eyes
Through my soul
Into my head
Into my heart
Through my eyes
Through my soul
Into my head
Into my heart
Through my eyes
Through my soul
Into my head
Into my heart
Through my eyes
Through my soul

Czech Winter Fairy Tale
05:07
|

|
Hunting me, never stop
Disappear like a drop
Follow footsteps in the snow
Tell the truth
None will know
One step forward and two steps back
Being lonesome on this track
Kill my daughter, say my name
Believe this liar
It’s all the same
What’s the point in keeping in touch with me
Have you been my friend or will you be?
Do you think I’ll leave you
When it’s time to go?
What’s the point in keeping in touch with me
Have you been my friend or will you be?
Do you think I’ll leave you
When it’s time to go?

Martin Tetzlaff Berlin, Germany
Martin Tetzlaff is a Berlin-based songwriter with a strong pop sensibility and a penchant for sad
melodies.
Martin’s songs evoke a landscape both melancholy and reassuring, like a bleak landscape seen from a train window on the way home from an failed tryst.
His many self-produced recordings blend rock instrumentation with electronic elements, and range from hushed folk to bombastic power pop.
