Same Old New Beginning(s)

What the past year has reminded us, is that nothing is for certain
nothing is forever and nothing great happens without a burden

Yet here we are, planning ahead at the beginning of, and like every year
new things to start, new things to buy but with the same lack of fear

It’s been a while since you last tried to make a change for the better
you have managed to succeed in other areas but still didn’t get her

Back at the beginning, back at starting small, back at craving for more
you are now more experienced though and more confident than before

Change is a constant, moreover you now know that, alone can’t get you far
a new beginning will put you closer to failure if you stay the same you are

The only plan you should have in mind when new beginning(s) are setting in
is how you set yourself free, if you do not have time to spend on it to complete

Worldwide crisis, caused by rapidly spreading human virus
I haven’t forgotten though, why am I feeling so righteous?

There’s a bee in the bush in front of me while at the place
in the midst of the ceremony I can’t follow at the priest’s pace

This day, eight years ago, I remember having our very last walk
cannot believe how fast time has passed, how life changed us all

That last walk that we felt so full with what we talked about
still can’t believe how things since then have turned around

And yet a song comes these days into my mind
still wondering though, is it wrong or right,

to publicly share it online?

Fun Times

The date is a palindrome together with the time
the detail in seconds the number is a nine
fun to play with these games of the mind
it is also a reality and fun facts of date and time

Life is a miracle but also a complex knot
I am having fun these days even though I got work
isn’t it always the case of having to do a lot
I should make life simple though from now on

Deadline is coming up and another after that
I ‘m looking to find someone with music in the heart
who’s rather to be happy than miserably sad
why am I thinking like that, I have a deadline coming up

Fun times, busy times and hard times as well
a year ago no one could have even guessed and tell

Oh well!

A Time of Reflection

It’s been years since you last seen them
It’s been years you ‘ve been listening to them
and now you are watching them live
and it’s just better than the last time

And you think of all the years that have passed
you realize that only yet you have to understand
that life has gone by and you are still alive
and music has been your only way to escape time

Last night in Vienna was amazing you will remember
not because you ‘ve listened to the same old songs
but for a moment you went back in time and saw
your younger self not being able to think of this at all

And yet, you are here still in the same mood
when listening to them, is getting to you for good
music does this to you and you feel younger in time
more experienced and still, music makes you feel alive

Problem Remains the Same

You thought you could get away
that you could avoid it all along
and tried to get another taste
because of the initial problem you forgot

Back at fighting with your demons
back at trying to avoid it all
why not try to face the problem
and stop thinking you are about to fall

You know that you are bad at it
you know that most likely you will fail
you may be stronger than a decade ago
but the problem remains the same

Instead of trying to get away with it
try dealing with it right now
you never tried that, you know
and it’s the time to put it in the test somehow

Still haven’t found the one
whose life clock synchronizes with mine
whose speed of life coordinates with mine
who can escort me in love

Problem lies within
I should be searching for her
I should not be waiting for her
I should let her in

The one to be with me
such a joke to be found in the world
such a sad story to say to the world
is the one to set me free

Still haven’t found the one
who can escort me in love
problem lies within
I should let her in
the one to be with me
travels roughly at the same speed

It’s hard to accept yourself as it is
you always push and push for him to be ahead
then you get angry when someone tells you this
as if he or she said something wrong instead

You think you are selfish and indeed you are
that is why you are still alone in the dark
trying to find out who the hell you are
you have a long way yet before you embark

Have you not get tired with all of these yet?
have you not noticed of the same mistake again?
you are obviously wrong if you are still in debt
change your perspective before you lose yourself

The Last Walk VII: Idle

This year has been idle
this year has been a waste
I ‘ve almost forgotten it
a lot of things have changed

We talked about progress
we talked about how we move on
it’s been seven years now
I ‘ve certainly not moved on

I have managed to do a tribute
and post it online in public view
nothing great and far from perfect
but it’s one song we both knew

We used to listen to this song
even just before the last walk
still remember that bit he liked
during which he liked to talk

We went past our previous point
we went beyond the futsal fields
we talked about moving forward
we planted in our minds the seeds

This year has been idle
but I still remember that walk
the last walk that was all
all of hope, all about moving on
