The Light Has Changed

Who woke him up
startled him
lured him out of his cave
brought him into town
he's on the bus
and in the pub
he is among us
don't come to close
And I
wake up
and the light
has changed
and the unrest
in the chest
how long
how long
we are caught in
the flame
is there a way
out of this state
today you don't know
what tomorrow brings
take me home safe
under a shield
fiction is now
far to real
and I
wake up
and the light
has changed
and the unrest
in the chest
how long
how long
we are caught in
the flame

Staring at today's headlines
in an empty compartment
warning tape and a lost bag
a cold wind in downtown
I'm walking
I'm walking
I keep walking
I keep walking
I know it won't come back
step out and deal with that
a different normality
the keys stay in the keyhole
I'm walking
I'm walking
I keep walking
I keep walking

Ignorance Is Bliss
04:07

Turn the spotlights on
let the show begin
a wolf in a costume
a study with no results
minister on a podium
opening the floodgates
simply ignore it
because ignorance is a bliss
simply ignore it
because ignorance is bliss
if you can afford it
ignorance
if we can't control it
ignorance is bliss
yellow press man
I've got better things to do
just don't put my face
on the headlines
it's not about me,
it's about the facts
about the truth
not about you
just crying out:
ladies and gentlemen
the facts are reviewed
why don't listen to us
why don't ask for advice
you can't ignore it, don't you sir
you can't ignore it when we warn
oh, you do
simply ignore it
because ignorance is bliss
simply ignore it
because ignorance is bliss
if you can afford it
ignorance
if we can't control it
ignorance is a bliss
we are tried, but we are tied
we are tried, but we are tied
what can we do, what can we do
what can we do, what can we do
do do do do do do

Shield
04:49

Build
a shield
and no harm
will come
keep
attention
and no harm
will come
over us
over us
stay
in this room
and no harm
will come
with
with distance
no harm
will come
over us
over us
keep me safe

The Eyes Of All
06:01

What comes with the storm
falling from the clouds
steps over door sill
into our house
who stops the drunken sails man
he sets off for the iceberg
please safe the garden
from the claws of the machines
a look at the gray forecast card
is simply not enough
a look at the gray forecast card
is simply not enough
is simply not enough
I follow you like the cat around table
I starting to understand your betrayal
I follow you like the cat around table
I'm starting to understand your betrayal
the eyes / the eyes of all are upon you
the eyes/ the eyes of all are upon you
the excavators are at the door
throwing a loud shadow
knock, knock at your bureau
but nobody opens
Flashlights and microphones
we understand the fraud
a look at the gray forecast card
is not enough
a look at the gray forecast card
is simply not enough
is simply not enough
I follow you like the cat around table
I am starting to understand your betrayal
I follow you like the cat around table
I am starting to understand your betrayal
the eyes of all / the eyes of all are upon you
the eyes of all / the eyes of all are upon you

Dr. Rieux

How helps Rieux
at the end of his tether
he saw the rats coming
he saw the rats coming
but nobody
believed him
they said
no panic
How helps Rieux
at the end of his tether
he stands up
he stands up
against absurdity
day by day
against absurdity
day by day

Hiding in the house
hiding in the cupboard
hiding under the table
hiding in the cellar
can we change it
can we stop
can do anything
before it hits the ground
falling through the exosphere
falling through the thermosphere
falling through the stratosphere
falling through the clouds
and it may
won't
come true
it may
won't
come true

Present Paradox Germany
The music project "Present Paradox" by Dortmund-based David Kleinekottmann provides insights into the often opaque nature of the present. The result is a fusion of melancholic and danceable elements, expansive and intimate at the same time, diverse and yet familiar. Since 2013, Kleinekottmann has been regularly releasing LPs/EPs that move between indie, experimental rock and electronica. ... more
