My lyrics
My studies to become a teacher had a great impact on me in my view of the world. I strongly believe in the sharing of resources globally and equality between social, cultural and sexual groups. In light of this my lyrics usually deal with social criticism. Besides the more "down to earth"- subjects I also write what I'd like to think of as humorously, but also the occasional love song.
Here are the lyrics for my song Frozen Time and my own view of what it means to me. It might mean something else for you, and that's just fine. Just because I happened to write it doesn't mean I get to be the only one interpreting it!
Frozen Time
Frozen time
passing by,
feeling fine,
you and I.
Sharing life,
flesh and soul,
is but a strive
to a goal
If only I were with you
it all would make sense.
If only I were with you!
Freeze everything else!
If only I were with you!
Give reason and rhyme!
If only I were with you
inside frozen time.
Bustling streets
all begone
where we meet
in the zone.
Need not be
anyone,
as stroll we
days along.
If only I were with you
it all would make sense.
If only I were with you!
Freeze everything else!
If only I were with you!
Give reason and rhyme!
If only I were with you
inside frozen time.
Time eternal.
Time eternal with you.
Time eternal.
Time eternal with you.
(Time eternal)
If only I could have this wish, this one thing,
(Time eternal with you)
all else would be gone
(Time eternal)
Another passing dream gone by, remembering.
(Time eternal with you)
Time would be all gone!
It's all gone...
What's the case
of love so true,
which in embrace
contains two?
Stronger still
than apart!
climbs each hill;
mends the heart!
If only I were with you
It all would make sense
If only I were with you
Freeze everything else
If only I were with you
Give reason and rhyme
If only I were with you
Inside frozen time

This song, to me, is about my girlfriend Teresa whom I've spent the better part of the last ten years with. It's about the six months we spent apart during January - June 2015. More specifically it's about the weekends when I travelled to her for a few blissful days and about me wanting to freeze time and spend it with her. It's about the lonelyness creeping up on you while home alone, and about the thoughts that come with it. What's the meaning of anything I do if there is no one there to witness it? Do I exist when no one is aware of my presence? It's also about a life partner being there with a helping hand whenever life is tough and uphills. Whatever happens in your life there will always be a constant there acting as your anchor (in a good sense!). Losing that anchor for six months was hard, and the few days of that half a year we spent together I'd rather make into many more days - hence a wish for frozen time.
