Papageno
Papageno entstand aus Mozarts Zauberflöte - nicht als Referenz, sondern als Spiegel. Der Song beschreibt den inneren Konflikt, der entsteht wenn äußere Kräfte gegen die Liebe arbeiten: die Spannung zwischen Pflicht und Hingabe, Angst und Vertrauen. Taminos Reise wird zur persönlichen - ein Ruf nach Orientierung durch Lärm, Druck und Zweifel. Papageno, der Vogelfänger der zwischen den Welten wandelt, wird zum Begleiter den wir rufen wenn wir unseren eigenen Weg nicht mehr finden. Ein Gefühl das ich mehr als einmal kannte - und das du vielleicht auch kennst.
Verse 1: The night makes my heart beat, no mercy and no rest, I need a rest, Commands over closeness, a boot is pressed on my chest. My blood is boiling inside of me, I turn blind and can't see, Go away, go away and put that boot away, never look back. Verse 2: Between duty and integrity, my beloved ocean is not blue, it turns black, I walk this thin line, need to let go of what used to be mine. Goddess of the night, where is my savior, I am in search of that knight, Little bird catcher show me wisdom, it will break my kingdom. Hook: Bullets in my heart Feel the burn, it's so hard Pa-Pa-Pa Papageno Chorus: Oh, I feel it's all gone, I look into the mirror, I see the bad one, The clock is ticking, it should show the hours, but the hours don't pass. Pa-Pa-Pa Papageno, I don't understand, lead me to wisdom, Pa-Pa-Pa Papageno, please guide us all into freedom. Verse 4: All efforts have been in vain, I can't survive inside this pain, Maybe this is how it's meant, everything lost like it's heaven-sent. No more yes or no in sight, darkness shatters all the light. Chains and freedom intertwine, I know time has come - I am fine Verse 5: A princess and her prince just try, to find some love, I cry, It's the highest emotion you'll know, still the wheel keeps grinding slow. May the gods forgive our sins, there are no more big wins, Feel goosebumps on our skins, sadness wins as the world spins. Hook: Bullets in my heart Feel the burn, it's so hard Pa-Pa-Pa Papageno Chorus: Oh, I feel it's all gone, I look into the mirror, I see the bad one, The clock is ticking, it should show the hours, but the hours don't pass. Pa-Pa-Pa Papageno, I don't understand, lead me to wisdom, Pa-Pa-Pa Papageno, please guide us all into freedom. Verse 6: Cast out, pushed out to bleed, though it's only love I need, King of night, what have you done, I swear I hurt no one. I won't kill the heart inside, no place to hide and nobody's pride, I am Tamino, I will stand, will save Pamina, hand in hand. Verse 7: Holy gods, don't make them pay, they don't see, they lost their way, Papageno knows the way, please show it, like this I can't stay. I curse the chains, I hate this fight, though I stand up for my right, Pamina hear my vow: I will not kill - not now, not ever and not somehow. Hook: Bullets in my heart Feel the burn, it's so hard Pa-Pa-Pa Papageno Chorus: Oh, I feel it's all gone, I look into the mirror, I see the bad one, The clock is ticking, it should show the hours, but the hours don't pass. Pa-Pa-Pa Papageno, I don't understand, lead me to wisdom, Pa-Pa-Pa Papageno, please guide us all into freedom. Outro: Papageno, if I must, then I will go. Even if I turn blind, I will face the road.
