It's Called Living

by Nilgün Özer

/
1.
Well I was walking through the park It was dark but there was moonlight I can't help if the day is today Where I could just leave it and say Well I read your words and drank your soul There was no one but the shape of all The evil I did on my chest Which was growing each and every day You should be waiting for me to fall I should've accepted you as part of my whole I don't know what's there next You might haunt me for the rest of my life Well I was sleepwalking among whispers turning away from them but no distance is it enough not to hear them is it locked what you hear then in a music, box hand is rolling endlessly I hold myself right on the line each foot stepping on one side but they merge in One time, one mind, one soul embrace it all
2.
Closing on me the thoughts of Leaving you in this dreamlike state Only my mind and fickle memories No trace, not a physical thing Left to prove But I was there, breathing air with you Not a single second spent more in bed Facing what I always feared ahead It seems nothing brings the end of the world It's called living, forget what you were told I could live a little longer if I don't leave this state of mind I'm feeling tough love Berlin likes to show I'm falling in spite of the smell of ringbahn at night What happened to me I don't even try to hold back my tears now Tell me, tell me Is this what it feels like to live fearlessly Stars told me the sun is out tomorrow but who knows what will it be Getting whiplashes in this city Is the norm
3.
high tide this is what it's like to fall out and catch a glimpse of the night take me home when it's all done when there's nothing left but the sun sore eyes is this what its like to run nonstop on the line I dreamt when I was a kid wake me up when it all becomes real when I have someone I know around me surrounds me the doubts of yesterday on my door worries of the day I follow disheartened for tomorrow the doubts of yesterday on my door worries of the day I follow tomorrow

about

This EP is the collection of emotions and livingness I went through in my last year in Berlin. Having lived through many events, meeting and befriending many people, and getting to know myself on another level opened up many new worlds.
We see the rainbow of colors just when the sun goes down and the horizon expands briefly. That magical feeling is exactly what happened with this EP. This is why all 3 songs sound different like they are from another world. It's because they are. They got to be in the same moment for my brief magical period. I hope you will feel this chaotic but promising sense of journey.
