1. Meet The Lights - 4:39
music by Waving Hands. Lyrics by Yassin Mahdi and Hannes Barfuss. Produced by Waving Hands. Mixed by Jan Ohlhorst. Mastered by Dan Suter.we're stars on the ceiling. we grow 'til tall grow and grow. look out your time has come. now you'll shine though you die. just breathe and come to earth and see how it works. come meet the lights. we can't be lost now if i can see you there. sometimes we wade in mud and dirt alone. and when we meet again we see that we have grown. and that we've become stars. found our place in the end. we shine on from there to see for each other's eyes and never talk again.
2. Metropolis - 3:58
music by Waving Hands and Japanese Traditional 'Sakura'. Lyrics by Hannes Barfuss. Produced by Waving Hands. Mixed by Yassin Mahdi. Mastered by Dan Suter.the last 24 years went so fast i hardly could keep up. but i never got to the point where i would feel the need to stop. unicorns playing in the moonlight. never lose your childish insight. never let go. just don't forget to keep a little safe place for the lazy and the sad days. and keep up the flow. if you love me carve your name into my eyes. i would like to walk just anywhere and follow my own trace. where the earth is alive and drops of childhoos are falling on my face. unicorns...
3. Come And Learn - 3:54
music by Waving Hands. Lyrics by Hannes Barfuss. Produced by Waving Hands. Mixed by Yassin Mahdi. Mastered by Dan Suter.we have lucid dreams flowing in steady streams. a story that never ends. we're the listeners. we have overcome gravity but overdone the narrative. we have become the fog between the pickets. when the straight roads we walk form the words which which we talk then we have overcome ourselves, mankind. good evening men. i am the wind. come and learn from the best. we are in search of something new. come and learn. we think one can't feel too much. but we don't think about feeling as such. our feelings come packed and boxed while we think they're in us. good evening men. i am the wind. come and learn from the best. we are in search of something new. come and learn. and i lift your heart like paper and kidnap your dreams and blackmail your life.
4. Crest - 3:58
music by Waving Hands. Lyrics by Hannes Barfuss. Produced by Waving Hands. Mixed by Jan Ohlhorst. Mastered by Dan Suter.walked out my front doors to settle some old scores at home. past the old café where people stop and say hello. whenever i walk past these roads i feel the need to run. but straight of of these holes have come the best things i have done. the simple words are sold as everything is told again. wrapped all in dust. we're on our way. will i ever call this place anything else than home. memories about to fill the lonely streets i roam. on the edge of getting old as everything is told again. walking on the edge of all that seems to be the crest of what i am.
5. Combinations - 3:26
music by Waving Hands. Lyrics by Hannes Barfuss. Produced by Waving Hands. Mixed by Yassin Mahdi. Mastered by Dan Suter.why do you separate days from hours. why do you count the words that you hear. why are your elven tears your only sorrow. i'm trapped in your puzzle rat runs. i'm trapped in your mind. the different colors dark and light and their combinations. and every language meaning and word sound and silence.
6. Ephemeral - 2:43
music by Waving Hands. Produced by Waving Hands. Mixed by Jan Ohlhorst. Mastered by Dan Suter.
7. Polarity - 4:50
music by Waving Hands. Lyrics by Hannes Barfuss. Produced by Waving Hands. Mixed by Yassin Mahdi. Mastered by Dan Suter.the northern sky will break loose if you close the holes down south. you can't recall how it began but you will be here when it ends. come on. these notes drip from my strings like stones and crush my naked feet. come on. these words are piling up on my tongue. it's getting hard to breathe. speaks the farmer to the pale whore this dry words with his wet mouth: the northern sky will break loose if you close the holes down south. some say she took the road down to the valley. some say she hired on a ship an her hands are full of oil. some say she's behind every stranger's laughter. some say when she takes just one step you can never now where whe has gone. rode away on a unicorn and no one knows what she is after. and she's right there behind the door you're knocking on. come on. these notes drip from my strings like stones and crush my naked feet. come on. these words are piling up on my tongue. it's getting hard to breathe. there's more of it to come in these days.
8. Greenland - 4:30
music by Waving Hands. Lyrics by Hannes Barfuss. Produced by Waving Hands. Mixed by Yassin Mahdi. Mastered by Dan Suter.brackish air will blow away all of your memories. like a grain of sticky dust blown off your hand. salty water will make us conscious. staring out at the white railing we stand until we reach the end of all doubt and movement. until we reach silent land. we're entering scoresby sound.
9. Afterglow - 3:11
music by Waving Hands. Lyrics by Hannes Barfuss. Produced by Waving Hands. Mixed by Yassin Mahdi. Mastered by Dan Suter.sometimes when i cry and i lay myself into my bed i could swear the streets outside are soaking wet. i feel your breath 'til a breeze from the window wakes me. hope is your friend when reality drifts from your eye. he's a cruel dominator, an ally, a beautiful lie. i love you i love you love walks all the way to the end. i've seen the glow inside your dark eyes. now it's just the rising day. places are not quite the same when you look at them blue. there are those that don't have any meaning and those shared with you. we played our roles in this game and for fuck's sake we lost. in the void of my soul softly echoes a sweet melody. it's the final arrival, the last notes of you and me. i love you i love you love walks all the way to the end. i've watched you melt away from the ground like an ice cream left behind by a silly boy. you were washed away by the rain like a castle made of sand from the beach of joy. since you're gone something is broken and talking feels so strange to my trembling voice. since you're gone my language is darkness and silence is my realm and the night my choice.
10. Europa - 4:14
music by Waving Hands. Lyrics by Hannes Barfuss. Produced by Waving Hands. Mixed by Jan Ohlhorst. Mastered by Dan Suter.summer 15 burning houses are normal again. it seems surreal. hatred is filling halls they're shouting again. when has it been so quiet. what are you trying to guard? when europe falls apart walls won't hold. sea of shame. a hundred thousand scars. who weeps for them? raise your head. the alphabet of stars is vanishing. all it ever takes is a bit of bravery. but they don't see. what are you trying to guard when europe falls apart from the inside? sea of shame. a hundred thousand scars. who weeps for them? raise your head. the alphabet of stars is vanishing.
