Sunset

(Erika Poling)

Two people who come off to the world as heartless, secretly understand each other's needs. Not getting attached or surrendering to one's feelings is a common attitude found in today's hook-up culture. But, many people have stronger emotions brooding beneath the surface they often fear to express. The lyrics mention two people who love each other, but prefer to keep their "private" life... well private. Hooking up turns into making love, and secretly we all desire affection.

Your voice dry as a bone
Eyes are cold as a stone
Filling me with an icy shiver
And my blood grows thicker 

The tissue below my skin
Starts hardening to porcelain 
And then I begin my 
Met-a-mor-pho-sis 
I’m frozen again
As the sun fully sets 

But you have to guess
Because I can’t tell you my secret 
Yes, Yes, Yes
Through sex I must express
How much I need your lips
Warm my body, every inch 

I want to melt like a candle when it’s lit 
Heat my soul, set fire to my spirit 
Oh my god
I’m sick of pretending I’m hard 
I secretly crave affection 
And I secretly know you are 

So why, why, why
Did we decide to change our minds
Cold-hearted love isn’t for us tonight 
You fit just like a glove
It’s not winter inside 

Yes, Yes, Yes
A desire I won’t suppress
Ignite me with a kiss
Because darling, you’re my sunset
I need your lips
Warm my body, every inch 

I want to melt like a candle when it’s lit 
Heat my soul, set fire to my spirit 
Oh my god
I’m sick of pretending I’m hard 
I secretly crave affection 
And I secretly know you are 

So why, why, why
Did we decide to change our minds
Cold-hearted love isn’t for us tonight 
You fit just like a glove
It’s not winter inside 

Oh, Oh, Oh 
It’s not snowing in here
Ah. Ah, Ah
Our love is now fire, my dear 

So why, why, why
Did we decide to change our minds
Cold-hearted love isn’t for us tonight 
You fit just like a glove
It’s not winter inside

Ein Vorhang aus Glas

By Jana Breuling

Der Text beschreibt eine vorsichtige Begegnung mit dem Leben, die zunächst zaghaft erfolgt, geschützt, durch einen gläsernen Vorhang. Immer wieder gibt es Phasen im Leben, in denen man sich zurückzieht, in einen geschützten Bereich. Dass in solchen Phasen jedoch auch viel Einsamkeit und Stillstand besteht, ist die Kehrseite. Der Text soll ermuntern, den gläsernen Vorhang zu durchbrechen, etwas zu riskieren und ein Leben in Fülle zu führen.
