Camera: Paul Schäper
Edit: Klaas Joosten

Lyrics | A spawn of meritocracy | you care about no dignity | humans, emotions you can‘t see | higher, faster, further, better | strongest work as guarantee | oh lovely | old man stay strong | I try to save myself as well | your system‘s running wrong | life is that grown | and sensitive though | I‘m just living and long gone | it takes a great delight on you | always had something to prove | you stop at nothing in a pinch | two heart attacks and still counting | you‘re exposed to the system | oh lovely | don‘t show weakness | cover up perplexity | hide your mistakes | first-rate sovereignty | courage for mistakes | so weak | yeah, that are we | guilt and failure, loss and helplessness | this is my higher order sovereignty.

EMPIRE ME - Moments

Live @ Burning Flag Studio

produced by Burning Flag Music Production (Phil Meyer)

Lyrics | We gaze into frames run out of power hours turning into nothing. We´re encased by TV, work and instagram suspend the urge to make a change dwelling on thoughts and treading water. This is my last protest, but with heart in my chest. To soften our belief and personal statements discussion´s coming to an end and yet the right wing is underway homophobia and greed become mundane so grab this moment here that happens. This is our last protest, but with heart in our chests. To free myself by words, chords and harmonies no more no less to free yourself from hate,  sneer and agony so you´ve just to confess You´ve just to confess no fucking less! Feel the energy that keeps me alive, my own way of contramotion new ideas, new attempts keep me awake no fuckers here but friends still to make grab this moment here that happens. Moments to share, No Fuckers anywhere!

EMPIRE ME - Atlas

from the EP "Where Are We Going Anyway (2017)"

produced by EMPIRE ME

Camera: Paul Schäper

Edit: EMPIRE ME

Lyrics | you said you won´t need this song, but right then I need it, can I prove you wrong? got our wishes, urges and desires, bad ones, good ones, two sides the tragedies collide. will you ever get what it means to me? receipt for coping with society, and should  you read these lines down maybe you will ever get what this means to me? this ain´t a song for a song, all indifferent to where you belong, still here to make the best of it all, music, genres, cultures, socialize, get in touch, it won’t cost you much! and sometimes I don´t seem to fit in but that´s exactly how it has always been, I like this feeling not to fit in, and that´s exactly who I am!

EMPIRE ME - Ghosttown

from the EP "Where Are We Going Anyway (2017)"

produced by Paul Echelmeyer

Lyrics | houses thoughts tightened on, lonely lights in dead streets  serenity´s long gone, growing anger for fun, new arrivals and brisk winds won´t be welcome! a feeling I can´t turn down, all the hate raisin out of this ghost town, so here we are so far, and not welcome, so it´s not for you! the more we play this with fun, and take the chance and all we give is a fuck for you and your intolerance! sense is a word unknown, waving through minds to hollow to be your own, clenched fists, I always wanted to…, but that ain´t my fucking style, like you’d do.

Lyrics | you care about the tunes we shout the words so crystal clear look at us it´s only us no more and it always will be sending us your lonely shapes and by the way I think "who draws in one´s horns can´t be happy" and that´s all that you want but often I don´t like the lights to shine on us withal but some action´s all we need a profound message all just wanna have thinking about human beings and actions is my intention drifting through the world sharing this with all of you and wondering your next step meanwhile you have to between todays politics and showtunes I wonder if it´s our aim to keep your head immune these kids aren´t alright and sometimes it´s the most important matter to be with all of your friends having a good time and thats all that you want I know it´s always easier to swim with the swarm steady gaze in one direction so wondering your next step meanwhile you have to my life is just better now that´s all I do a profound message all just wanna have thinking about human beings and actions is the intention drifting through the world sharing this with all of you and wondering your next step meanwhile you have to.

EMPIRE ME - Perfection

from the EP (2015) 

produziert von: Magdalena Bohn

(http://lenabean.de; http://zeilenzunder.de)

Lyrics | question all those actions means a tight standstill my dear you want to build it up you need to catch the bricks begin again you still watching out and listen to the voices quite slowly makes you sick twist and turn hollow shells left to burn the idea is to stop and don´t let it burn you up sleepwalking all the days lights blinding up a remote control does its job a lonely comfort to take the break searching all the answers right between cause and effect twist and turn hollow shells left to burn the idea is to stop and let them burn someday  to nailed down in your head to look around the idea is to stop and don´t let them burn you up the outside to the inside and peoples showing up the efforts for perfection  and no one´s speaking  from the top so first you´ve to love yourself and not to regret and parades of shades is all you´ve got burn them all to burn out from the inside and you´ll see so start your engine to thrive and live now and free.
