Went from a glass to a bottle Always drinkin’ to the bottom Wine turned to hard liquor And life’s always the trigger Alcohol is the gun to my head Just without the bloodshed Yet, it makes me feel alive And dead at the same time It’s the medicine for the moment When all your bones feel broken I’m a zombie in the mirror And my body’s just a figure Mindlessly walking through life Trying to avoid sunlight With thoughts no longer clear Because the apocalypse is near And I’m a lifeless body Turned into a zombie A reawakened corpse, instead And I’m just walking the dead Of course, I feed on deadly grapes and grains Slowly going insane A shot of vodka to my brain Soaking in my veins And I’m not remembering my name Champagne for the pain For a mind so constrained Just waiting to be slain I’m a zombie in the mirror And my body’s just a figure Mindlessly walking through life Trying to avoid sunlight With thoughts no longer clear Because the apocalypse is near And I’m a lifeless body Turned into a zombie A reawakened corpse, instead And I’m just walking the dead You can’t wake me up In a foggy haze, I’m stuck Thoughts can’t get out of the maize Behind my lifeless gaze Thinking backwards, All my bones feel knackered Stab my heart with a dagger Because I’m already a lifeless body Turned into a zombie A reawakened corpse, instead And I’m just walking the dead With thoughts no longer clear Because the apocalypse is near And I’m a zombie in the mirror And my body’s just a figure Mindlessly walking through life Trying to avoid sunlight

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.
