Pristina

In a land where no more lights shine
Memories of fire
A cold rain falls on windscreens of cars
Souvenirs of war
Could see a few shadows crossing the line
Silhouettes take arms, footsteps are getting closer
After each seconds waters come higher.

I ate too much my dear. I ate too much. I ate too much my dear. I ate too much
His eagle eyes hold, crackling down this mellow.
Tender pray we hide, we hold in this desperate flow.
Lips are gently opening. Hands are sligthly shattering.
Looking for devil Answer in his gloomy gaze
Possessed by evil we don't need no shave
You see the dying lovers it doesn't have to be in vain.
I see the red yellow corners we don't need no pain
His eagle eyes hold, crackling down this mellow.
Tender pray we hide, we hold in this desperate flow.
Lips are gently opening. Hands are sligthly shattering.
And the sins in our head we don't manage to regret. And the sins in our head we don't manage to regret. Have to feel guilty for what. Just let me sleep.
I ate too much my dear. I ate too much. I ate too much my dear. I ate too much
I hate too much my dear, I ate too much.

This is the story of Lilian Marks
Sittin' in front of her typewriter
And Somehow she's waiting until dark
Until the underground starts
Lily was twenty had a little son
Father Jenkis was quite close to her
And this night she prayed a bit longer
As if she would not have to take this train
Half Closed Eyes Half Naked Legs
Moving lips in rythm with this dance
Faster Breath in empty room
the black Light fakes the light of Moon

They told him this is the end. Time to go to bed.
He didn't know where he was and where he was going.
He didn't know who he even was.
The only thing he knew was the darkness of his room
He lost the little stars posted on the roof.
The tiny birds with their big eyes the roaring cars passing by.
Thorns and branches are grazing his face.
Thorns and branches graze his arms
Dark forests of noisy strangers are surrounding him
My own breath scares me.
Back and Forth in a terrible squealing.
Back and Forth in a terrible squealing
Back and Forth.
They don't understand what's wearing him down.
They don't understand these endless laments.
Hide me from the comings and goings of the crowd.
I grope for my way need you to light the house
Let him go away from this angry crowd
Make them go away from him now.
My ears are yelling. The tears are falling down
She's always lying. I swear I'm out of that.

Little skinny eyes, lying on her knees
She thinks we'd better hide, into one of these seas
We're lying on, We're lying on these lulabies
We're lying on these lulabies hope we deserved a better prize
Wie ehrgeizig seid ihr denn? Wie ehrgeizig?
Wie ehrgeizig seid ihr denn? Wie der Geist spinnt. Wie der Geist spinnt.
Ich hab keine Angst vor dir, ich hab keine Angst.

Indigo notes of love
03:58
|
|
||
|
Candle Lights glowing I thought your eyes were glowing too
And all what I'm asking is a bit of attention of you
All what I'm looking for is your gaze to catch
And our feelings are growing and our hopes are upstairs
Be careful of not missing a step
Indigo notes of love reflected by the river
Flowing back in a hole. My heart is to small
She doesn't care at all of the wandering dreamer
He doesn't bear at all to keep his feet on the ground

Dreams

Cold ice cream of confrontation
I’m missing her eyes and her face
Proud of these recent fictions
I'm making up such nice places
Behind the hill of the red lion
My blood keeps up with the pace
But I'm loving, but I'm afraid, that I'm a fake
World of Dreams to be somewhere else
To be closer to you in a nowhere land
Fears and Knees are dancing around
Bears and Bees are playing that sound
Pillow eyes of snow Kingdom
E-Bow flies on low opinion
She’s making up noses of the Hill
He’s watching the dust
But I'm afraid, that I'm a fake
World of Dreams to be somewhere else
To be closer to you in a nowhere land

Two sides girl
06:56
|
|

Two eyes like dark waters
In Which you’d like to drown yourself
Acidic tears that burn your mind
And bring you down, down at her feet
A mouth that tender smile
Just like a crescent moon
Go away from here
Forget that girl
A mouth that tender smile
And making you as crazy as loon
Go away from here
Forget that girl
You are hounted by her dark betwitching voice
You’re unable to flee away from that noice
You are hounted by her dark betwitching voice
You’re unable to flee away from that noice

about
BÄRLIN Lille, France
Bärlin transcends genre boundaries. Based on deep and enveloping bass loops that might remind cold wave and post-rock, the
drums, clarinet/vocals and bass trio creates a one-of-a-kind energy blowing everything away in its path.
Even though the trio's approach can be reminiscent of Tuxedomoon, Morphine, Einstürzende Neubauten, or Portishead, it follows its own timeless quest with no equivalent.
