Meltdown (by TAEKKRA)
---------------------------------
[Quotes by Charlie Chaplin]
“We think too much and feel too little!
But nothing is permanent in this world. Nothing!
Not even our troubles.
A day without laughter is a day wasted!
So I remain one thing, a clown.
And that places me on a far higher plane than any politician!
Let’s face it, in the end, everything is a gag!”
Thank you Charlie!
All the years of my life
I feared the darkness inside
becoming the world
that surrounds me
but now that I know
that I have to go
I want to hang on
just a little while
before the lights are dimming down
on me
I can feel the curtain is about to be drawn
over me!
So, here is to You and to love
in all finality!
Concluding words, I should have spoken
years before:
Do not be silent!
Be one of a kind!
Tear down the wall,
find out what’s behind!
Why should I care
if God is there or not?
What good God is he if the suffering
he cannot stop?
Why must he take it all away again?
So many riddles
and no more time to solve them!
What do I care, if there’s a paradise
at the end of the highway?
Nothing can repay me for losing the world
eternally?
How bad can it be?
Fading away into nothingness?
Will there be pain? Passing on
into endless emptiness?
Melting down,
I’m touching the ground with my wings.
Melting down, I hear my fantasy, how it sings!
Melting down,
all the way, down to the ground
and I will not return to tell you what I found.
Melting down,
I’m touching the ground with my wings.
Melting down,
I hear ancestral voices, how they sing!
Melting down,
all the way, down to the ground
and I will not return to tell you what I found.
