about

I love the month October, I always did. Wherever in Europe, to me it is the most beautiful time of the year. But some years ago the End of October was exactly the time when my whole life as I knew it collapsed. I fell into a state of mind that i could not explain for years. After a long journey finding back to myself I wrote this song. It took more than 5 years, finding the right words.
Only once played live in September 2022 - exactly one week after it was written - it is time to let it out into the world.

lyrics

It was the end of October
The orbit that held my life together lost me
Turbulences
I fell out of the sphere

I landed between the small walls of yours and stayed
Maybe i chose that way
It felt warm and light

While my forest was in flames
I stayed softly in those pillows.

The taste in my mouth was sweet
You saw the smile in my face
The one you got to know wasn't me
But both of us did not see

I chose to leave behind my universe
I still collect the pieces
I chose to leave behind my universe
I still collect the pieces left inside of me

I chose to leave behind my universe
I still collect the pieces
I chose to leave behind my universe
I still collect the pieces left inside of me
