Cars
I recall they´re just what I wanted back when I was a kid
But the feeling of fascination died now they´re makin me just sick
An´ I´m stuck in here
within steel and brass
(in) an ocean of lush varieties that were made to go real fast
but there ´s cars and trucks and vans they´re all around
you´re so far and I´m stuck here, I can´t
move one bit though I need to get movin now
What are those people doin, can´t they just stay at home?
I hope they all got a reason as compelling as my own
But what matters now (they´re) blocking the way to you
I can´t help bein´ late, there´s just no way babe to get through
coz there ´s cars and trucks ´n vans they´re all around
you´re so far and I´m stuck here, I can´t
move one bit though I need to get movin now
Now `m trapped on a freeway acting against its name
Confined to a crummy vehicle that I´ve come to loathe of late
cause I´m dyin to meet you
I am desperate to be near you
There´s just cars in the rear view
Look up front and all you´ll see
is cars and trucks ´n vans they´re all around
you´re so far and I´m stuck here, I can´t
move one bit though I need to get movin now

Good intentions
Reflections on the water calm and patient now
They make my head swim, merging truth and lie
I don´ t know what´ s goin on here but it makes me feel just fine
Can´ t wait to meet you again tonight
Come quick cause I´ ll never get tired of the things you tell I can´ t
get you out of my head and thought
I hope you don´ t just pretend you´ ve come with good intentions
The world would come to an end if not
Cause I´ ve got on my mind only love
And the way you poured your heart out about the fear of being hurt
Only to move to cracking jokes never mincing your words
It seemed like further confirmation that you felt the same as I
There´s nothing that could get you out of my mind
Come quick cause I´ ll never get tired of the things you tell
I can´ t get you out of my head and thought
I hope you don´ t just pretend you´ ve come with good intentions
The world would come to an end if not
Cause I´ ve got on my mind only love

Blasphemous Thoughts
Caught myself today thinking blasphemous thoughts
What if I just left to do the things I´ve been dreamin of
Quickly pushed aside that message from within
Subconscious drives quenched by the mind again
But the thought it stuck
It keeps comin´ up again
No chance to wipe it out
It´s been lyin ´ with me since
Caught myself today thinking blasphemous thoughts
What if I just quit all that I´ve been doin for too long
Bouncing like a ball in a beer drenched billiard game
In plain lack of a plan or a winning strategy
and the thought it stuck
It keeps comin´ up again
No chance to wipe it out
It´s been lyin ´ with me since
This won´t take me where I really want to go
This won´t get me what I really wanted to do (know)
And the sum of everything we´ve said or done
Will never add up to anything of substance
This won´t take me where I really want to go
This won´t get me what I really wanted to do
Caught myself today thinking blasphemous thoughts
What if I just quit all that I´ve been doin for too long
Quickly pushed aside that message from within
To go on with life the way it´s always been

Waterline
I don´t know myself, I don´t know myself at all
What made me act the way I did last time I saw you
Now the whole thing has quickly spun out of control
Please don´t do the things to me that I´ve done to you
Let me have a chance, allow me to explain
Let me talk to you again and set things straight
I´m not as lyrical as I wish myself to be
I can´t make what´s on my mind sound like poetry
Now that everything´s at stake it´s high emergency for me
I can´t wait another day now, think that this must be
The way it feels like when you slowly sink below the waterline
Save me from drowning this time
Couldn´t live without the furtive stares you cast at me
When we´re not alone they show you care for me
(and) I need your timid smile just like I need the air I breathe
I start to choke on all the things you withhold from me
Now that everything´s at stake it´s high emergency for me
I can´t wait another day now, think that this must be
The way it feels like when you slowly sink below the waterline
Save me from drowning this time
Save me from drowning this time
Now the whole thing has quickly spun out of control
Please don´t do the things to me that I´ve done to you
Now that everything´s at stake it´s high emergency for me
I can´t wait another day now, think that this must be
The way it feels like when you slowly sink below the waterline
Save me from drowning, can´t do it myself
I´ll promise whatever you´re asking of me
I´ve been thinking of you for days

I Owe You
Years from now there´ ll be more clarity
In how we judge what we take as unjust now
Didn´ t you wanna be someone who (even) in a state of shock
Keeps solid as a rock
I´ d hoped that too
You´ d go all the way I never knew why
But it´ s not for me to ask
My wrath of you wouldn´ t last I know that for sure
The more years I´ ve left behind
The more I´ ve come to feel that I – owe - you so many things
Fill the glass stay a while
Will there be another time?
No-one knows
You´ll never know what who how what time and why the lights go out
it´s something I never thought about before
I owe you more, I owe you more than I knew before
Years from today
What will it matter then
When we´re looking back on how we went
Straight down, we walked away following opposite tracks
There were reasons for denial
But they have crumbled with the time
The more years I´ ve left behind
The more I´ ve come to feel that I – owe - you so many things
Fill the glass stay a while
Will there be another time?
No-one knows
You´ ll never know what who how what time and why the lights go out
It´ s something I never thought before
I owe you more than I thought I did
I owe you everything ...

Guys Like You

Like You
Makin promises that you know you can´t keep
Hopin we´re not smart enough to see
What you´re up to in the end
I ´ve been wondering what has got into you
That you try to ruin what makes life good
Aah I´m sick and tired you are...
a devil in dis-(guise)
Guys like you, they´re all over the place, popping up like mushrooms after rain,
thinkin´ they have come to stay
And they (like to) smash up things that we´ve come to embrace
And then leave the mess to be cleaned by someone else
Aah I´m sick and tired you are... a devil in dis-(guise)
All the good things that we have were not easy to achieve
Why ´re you tryin to take them away from me?
You put everything at stake, light-heartedly,
and only for the sake of your selfish needs / aims
you think you can just go and tell a pack of lies
and all of us will join you into the night
but take a look around, take a look around
who d´you hope to count on
who d´you hope you ´d find
they know right from wrong
when somebody
like you comes along

The Great Passive Hanover, Germany
The Great Passive combines indie pop and rock with singer-songwriter - style songs. So far it has been a one-man project based on homerecording and mixing in the studio but we are currently working to get the songs fit for the stage. Hoping there will still be clubs and bars that offer live music once the pandemic is "done" ... ... more
