Why can't I sleep?
in the middle of the night
short cutted scenes
in a bizarre light
in front of the ocean
a hole in the sand
your hand on my shoulder
your constant breath
Why can't I sleep?
Why don't you let me go?
short cutted scenes
a broken glass
a hole in the sand
they laughing about you
I turn around
and you ask if I'm OK
why can't I sleep
why can't I sleep
why can't I sleep
why can't I sleep

sorry /
apologize /
I'm blinded /
a white light /
you take the money /
you make me fear /
can tell me /
why I fail /
tell me / tell me / tell me /
traffic lights /
flickering /
I'm in a cabin /
on the motorway /
shaking of /
the pursers /
can tell me /
who you are? /
tell me / tell me / tell me/

Am I sleeping /
Or Am I awake /
Am I sleeping /
Or Am I awake /
wake up my friend /
can't you hear them /
whispering, whispering /
spells into your ear /
poisoning your mind /
intrude your dreams /
(spoken part)
you think you clever / well, you not /
you think you got it / well, you don't /
you think have me / well, you don't /
you think one day / well, no, no /
wake up my friend /
the witches are gone /
the streets are empty /
the borders are open /
you should take your love by the hand /
and leave the old house /
(spoken part)
you think you clever / well, you not /
you think you got it / well, you don't /
you think have me / well, you don't /
you think one day / well, no, no /

When, When

under the lantern /
there is a long shadow from tomorrow /
if you step through /
this gate it won't open again /
silver skyscrapers /
they are looking down at you /
you lost the code /
to open the box with your luggage /
thousand of people /
rush through the rail station /
your phone /
has no connection any more /
In a future home / I'm afraid all doors are locked /
In a future home / I'm afraid I won't find the keys /
In a future home / I'm afraid when all lights are out /
In a future home / oh I don't want to be there alone /
when the director leaves the studio and stares into the sun /
when the student wakes up next to his girlfriend after the argument /
when the taxi driver drives through the sunrise in Berlin /
when the passenger drinks his first coffee of the day /
when, when / hmmmm
when, when / hmmmm
when the night is over all doubts are gone /
when the night is over all doubts are gone /
and the black glasses / are no longer on my face /
and the black glasses / are no longer on my face /

Rails To Tomorrow

opening my travel bag
a book of hundreds notes
I left the wooden floor
alone in my room
opening the shutters
minor chords and cut of beats
went to all doors
over the institutions floor
I lost my way
in a dark spring fog
with goodbye tears
I took a seat
and we talked about
all fears and darkness
with a new map
I started again
a drink with friends
a date at the river
a kiss at night
wishes and disappointments
on TV-screen
and LED
I took the train
for a two hour ride
a cave to hide
when she said goodbye
the rhythm was still
there in my heart
six people on a field
a horse in the woods
a dance in the dunes
the luck to have you
applause and congrats
a film nobody sees
with the steering wheel
through weeks of bad sleep
I really don't know
if it was right or wrong
all can I say
it came from my heart
and now I'm here
in front of the mic
a warm light
falls through the window
I shouldn't fear
the coming things
the good or bad
the bright or dark
I can‘t ask this train to stop, stop
I can‘t ask this train to stop, stop

Open Up This Door

you came to bite
you came to bite
and I run
you came to back to your business
you came to back to your business
and I run
you follow me in your coat
you follow me in your coat
and I run
you're waiting for me in the corner
you're waiting for me in the corner
and I run
you shouldn't mess me
you shouldn't mess me
and I run
you throw a punch
you throw a punch
and I duck
and if you open up this door
there is no one in this room
no, no
no, no
because I've been gone
because I've been gone

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
