Hanging in the balance
(Musik: M Pfeffer, Oktober 2007, Text: T. Fries, Oktober 2007)

From the early dawn
I see you hurry on
To get yourself a better life
There are bills to pay
And no more words to say
When you come home at night
There´s just the silence

Sometimes you wonder ´bout that human touch
That´s when you feel a little dead

It´s a perfect world with no thrills for sale
You´re hanging in the balance without moving
No comfort words to speak
And no warmth around
You’re hanging in the balance without moving

There´s no time to waste
For that little things
As endlessly you´re living in a cyber dream
Yeah, you take it hard for success
Your life is clean and dry
Could never burn away the coldness you deny

Sometimes you worry ´bout that loneliness
But you don´t give yourself a sign

Chorus

Got to give yourself a sign

Dies ist die fiktive (und sicherlich dennoch tausendfach reale) Geschichte eines Karriere- und Erfolgsmenschen, der zusehends vereinsamt, weil er schlicht und einfach auf die falschen, rein materiellen Werte setzt.
(Thorsten Fries, Februar 2008)
