i got lost in a world
that was moving at bottleneck speeds
(free) time is unheard of
love was measured in green (currencies)
emotions were all just a scribble on the seashore
one after another - no reason, no rhyme

staring out from my island
i feel helpless and so out of tune
no one helps you when you fall
this whole world fishing
from the same hole
fishing rods big and small
everyone was trying to “catch” the same fish
everyone was thinking only about the same “moby dick”

while the whole world is searching for moby dick
i go away to
find some place new
Somewhere we can be ourselves
Some of the time

with the moonlight behind me
in the middle of all commotion
far away from land
even further away from this “contest”
i sit on a small island
devoid of all things insane
i throw the bait
and start fishing for a dream

i dont know how i lost the game
it was secured in a safe place
away from the prying eyes
i thought i had mastered the art of keeping things safe
i thought i was safe
i thought i was secure

when i still think about it now,
a shiver runs through my spine
and i try to run for the nearest shelter

i try not to panic
afterall, its just a phase
its just like a stupid commercial that comes in between the blockbuster movie
just when the plot gets interesting, the ad spoils it all

my game was at its magical best
i was on the way to victory ( i thought)
safe and sound
until that final moment

when i saw you
out of the corner of my eye
i lost myself at that critical moment
the moment when my whole life was turned upside down
for good or for bad, i dont know
i have lost the game
and the ball is in your court

now, i sit here
in the corner
outside the building where i saw you
still thinking about you
patiently waiting for you to come again
and cast your magic

the magic of your eyes
that has turned me into a stone sculpture
now has to cast its spell once again
and bring me back to life
i wait here patiently
i wait here for eternity
