Lifeless In Berlin

from "ZEROES" by Schönfeld

/

about

The drug and buddy drama continues, except that at that stage I had left Berlin to find love and life in London. We kept writing letters, re-united a year later, only to continue and boost our excesses until we finally split for good. I never really heard from him again.
Musically I'm very proud of this track, it's the closest to writing a proper tune I have ever managed to do. Based on a simply funky guitar riff it turned into a small yet poignant epic.

lyrics

People say they don’t know wht happened to you
People say you fell through the net of time
Well that’s fine, it’s cool, I was just curious
People say you were always destined to fall
People say you were never likely to call
And that’s all, it’s cool, I was just furious

Together we could have been the master of the universe
Shame we couldn’t quite make it here on earth
Told you I had to leave told you I had to go
You just grinned and carried on with your freakshow
All in vain flushed your life down the drain
Or tell me that you made here on earth
For what’s it worth

I know you wouldn’t fake it
I know you couldn’t fake it

I was looking for life in London
Your were lifeless in Berlin
Always closer to the end
When I tried to begin
