about

We all know that feeling of relief when waking up from a bad dream… but what If the real world feels far worse than your nightmares? Unable to take action, the protagonist rather escapes into his fantasy than facing his problems. Should he do something or should he sleep forever?

That's my new song "Wake Up".
The most interesting thing about my creative process is that I dream about the melodies of my songs. I can hear it as if the song is already finished. Then I wake up and make a whole song out of it.
First I have the melodies of the vocals, then I look for chords and the last thing are the lyrics.

My dreams are always very real and I often have nightmares. At least when I'm not dreaming about melodies ;)
And that's how I came up with the idea for this song.

lyrics

I‘m falling down
I know my head is gonna hit the ground
I walk away
It feels like my body is running against waves

And my whole soul wants to scream out
(scream out – so out – so loud)

Just a whisper comes, I can’t shout
(I just – can’t get – it out)

When I wake up
Finally my dreams stop
But is it better or should I sleep forever?

When I wake up
Finally my dreams stop
But is it better or should I sleep forever?

My teeth are falling out
No pain no blood and yet I'm suffering now
Try to defend myself,
But my fists slow down, no escape and no more breath

And my whole soul wants to scream out
(scream out – so out – so loud)

Just a whisper comes, I can’t shout
(I just – can’t get – it out)

When I wake up
Finally my dreams stop
But is it better or should I sleep forever?

When I wake up
Finally my dreams stop
But is it better or should I sleep forever?

My loved ones there
I have to save them from something I can’t bear
Tears in my eyes
No matter what I do I have to watch them die

When I wake up
Finally my dreams stop
But is it better or should I sleep forever?

When I wake up
Finally my dreams stop
But is it better or should I sleep forever?

Forever, forever, forever and ever
and ever and ever

Or should I sleep forever
