lyrics

(Lyrics by Sarah Weibel) Why don`t you care About my life? Even your unspoken words Are full of lies Look at my scars No, they didn`t heal Suppressed memories Forgotten, but now I feel I wanted to help But there was no way out You abused all my trust leaving only disgust Tell me what secret do you hide? Let out the pain growing there inside Where was your mistress when she died? Where was your love when I cried? All I wanted was just a hug But I had to grow up in that fug I was like a stone on your way Father, please care! Why did you fall? What happened to you? What did I do wrong? What could a child do? Tell me your fears Show me your tears Don`t take them to your grave Or do you think that`s brave? Lonely stranger I was your only home You`ve lost all the things Yes Dad, I know Tell me what secret do you hide? Let out the pain growing there inside Where was your mistress when she died? Where was your love when I cried? All I wanted was just a hug But I had to grow up in that fug Like a stone on your way Like a stone on your way Tell me where is your enemy? You fight against things I cannot see Tell me what secret do you hide? Tell me what happened? Dad? What happened that autumn night? Like a stone on your way Like a stone on your way

Headlines 04:14

(Lyrics by Sarah Weibel) In your mind you find Desolate walls, behind A city of snow and dust A world of god, a city of trust? Headlines scream: climate change Future is uncertain, all is out of range Out of control, genocide Global warming, reclaim the streets 4.4 earthquake jolts east china Man eats underwear to beat breathalyzer Scandals, scandals, more sensations We read it all between the stations And here I am And here I stand before you Agreed, I’m going round the bend And this is why I’m calling, I’m calling, I’m calling… Girl, 2, stabbed to death City’s computer system hacked Mother’s junk food harms child Smallest planet shrinks in size Crushed plane identified Influenza kills thousands worldwide Comedian is living in an Ikea store Terror!!! Terror!!! Get ready for war! And here I am And here I stand before you Agreed, I’m going round the bend And this is why I’m calling, I’m calling, I’m calling… Wedding party bombed, 27 dead How do you style your hair When you`re wearing a hat? Suicide blast in Pakistan New treatment hope for infertile men And here I am And here I stand before you Agreed, I’m going round the bend And this is why I’m calling, I’m calling, I’m calling….

System 03:16
lyrics

(Lyrics by Sarah Weibel) Born in this system I cannot flee, cannot flee I cannot get out of it No I have to deal with it What am I doing here? Why don ́t we care about … And shout out loud? Tell me, how can I complain While the world is going down the drain? No justification for our luxury No justification for the abundance Of a minority We talk about humanity and proclaim freedom “Yes, that ́s what we need…” While claiming territories And marking boundaries I could do more, but I don ́t Yes, I wanna do more, but I know I won`t Ashamed of living here, no way out I can only rebel, no matter what, No matter what the others tell (me) We ́re living in a fantasy But what we need is reality Confrontation instead of Colourful imaginations Lost in resignation Lost in frustration, hesitation Cannot change the world But cannot accept this world We ignore poverty and donate money to buy us free To have a clear conscience To lead an ethical existence We buy exotic fruits Just for our satisfaction And later on we talk about Environmental protection I could do more, but I don ́t Yes, I wanna do more, but I know I won`t Ashamed of living here, no way out I can only rebel, no matter what, No matter what the others tell (me)

Throw It at the Wall 05:00
lyrics

(Lyrics by Sarah Weibel) You walk out of your room And you shut the door You think about the past Everything felt so secure You take a glass And throw it at the wall You turn the light on and off About a hundred times Just to get the proof That you‘re not blind That your eyes still see Why can’t you see? And you’re walking out that door just to catch some light You’re crawling on the floor just to hide And you know that you can‘t fight You take a bottle of wine A second and a third And you mix it up with whiskey And everything else you can find Just to show That you don‘t mind And you’re walking out that door just to catch some light You’re crawling on the floor just to hide just to show that you still fight

(Lyrics by Sarah Weibel) I remember cold eyes I know you didn`t tell, know you didn`t tell me about the sky Two worlds The past cries I know I cannot win But my soul, my soul just won`t give in Go your way Go your way Go your way Go your way Go your way Go your way I remember your soft voice You pay your money and you take your choice Two hearts That don`t make The right noises I cannot give you back what you gave to me Go your way Go your way Go your way There is nothing more to say Go your way Go your way Go your way I cannot stand this pain I remember this tingling This feeling cracks me up, it cracks me up inside I´m wrecked I´m torn I hope you`ll find, hope you`ll find your liberty tonight Go your way Go your way Go your way There is nothing more to say Go your way Go your way Go your way I cannot stand this pain

Low Winds Moan 03:36
lyrics
buy track
(Lyrics by Sarah Weibel (Chorus: by a poem of Thomas Hood called “Silence”)) Love In empty rooms On silent streets Between the sheets Dreams hovering … around I’m losing my mind On the idle ground Ref: Shriek to the echo, and the low winds moan There the true silence is, self-conscious and alone Bang! They shot me down I hit the ground Endlessly Trapped green ruins So run run run run run run run You better run run run run run run run You better run Across the streets Unspoken words Broken melodies Ref: Shriek to the echo, and the low winds moan There the true silence is, self-conscious and alone There is a silence where no sound may be In the cold grave under the deep, deep sea

Voices 05:20
lyrics

(Lyrics by Sarah Weibel) The cold walls are staring at me Voices everywhere No, they won’t let me free Frightened, upset Please help me forget All the things I’ve seen Oh this piercing scream is Raping all my senses My mind, my thoughts And all that’s left Scary, high fences Made of blood and tears Built with my own frightened hands Forgiveness, a word so hard to say Relations so hard to keep Oh this fear goes too deep I’m pouring with sweat Please help me forget These pictures in my head Pester me when I’m in bed Unable to fall asleep Nightmares destroying my life until today Forgiveness, a word so hard to say Relations so hard to keep Oh this fear goes too deep White, pale faces Children scream The sun will never find the way out of the rain Where is the love in this cruel world? There is only pain “Little boys” are flying Too many souls are dying Gave up the hope That the world might change That the good could break out of the cage Forgiveness, a word so hard to say Relations so hard to keep Oh this fear goes too deep Please, help me out of the dark out of the cold Tired of all the pain covered in dust Help me out of this mud, out of this frost Forgiveness, a word so hard to say Forgiveness, a word so hard to say Forgiveness, a word so hard to say, so hard to say…

On My Way Home 05:32
lyrics

(Lyrics by Sarah Weibel) Walking down this road To forget my grief I love this silence These swaying trees Shadows walking slowly through this town Tears, now they are falling softly to the ground Looking for the stars So far away Hidden behind the clouds They let me hope for better days I love the smell before the rain comes falling down Love the way the leaves are dancing toward the ground I’m on my way home What a moment of grace A moment to enjoy A reason to fight To stay at this place No reason to run away To hide my face What a wonderful silence What a wonderful day The sound of the rain Caresses my ears What a work of art When the sky is crying tears Love the liquid mirrors surrounding me Sometimes I wish you could see all these things I see The touch of the wind Like morphine on my skin Nature’s harmony fills my emptiness within Love the way the wind blows through my hair Sometimes there is so much beauty I cannot bear I’m on my way home What a moment of grace A moment to enjoy A reason to fight To stay at this place No reason to run away To hide my face What a wonderful silence What a wonderful day

Fanatic Observation 03:31

(Lyrics by Sarah Weibel) Sitting here alone Waiting for you Just one question Could it ever be true So many people But you’re not around Fanatic observation Thrilling background sound So many people Walking down this road Fanatic Ovservation “Crazy” I’ve been called Cannot stop fighting Too many words I need to say Cannot stop hiding Too much love to give away I feel like a puzzle And you’re my missing piece I’m writing you poems And sad melodies I saw her today And it felt like I’ve seen you Fanatic imagination Or is it really true? Why don’t you care When I’m not alone? Why don’t you care That our time is gone?

about

Die Band AnamTara liefert melodischen Folkrock mit einer Portion traumsatter Melancholie. Mit ruhigen Tönen und dem Mut der Schnelllebigkeit der heutigen Zeit entgegenzustehen, rührt die fünfköpfge Band ebenso die kuschelweichen wie die abgedunkelten Nischen unserer Gefühlswelten an. Ihre Songs handeln meist von den kleinen Schwierigkeiten, die man mit sich selbst und seiner Umwelt haben kann, vom Lieben und vom Loslassen, von den Geheimnissen zwischen uns und der ewigen Suche nach uns selbst und einem anderen, der uns ergänzt. Nichts wirkt melodramatisch, nichts überdimensional oder prätentiös. Die bezaubernde, raffinierte Fragilität ihrer Songs sowie die Mischung aus eingängigen Melodien und schlichten instrumentalen Parts, lassen viel Platz für eigene Gedanken und Träumereien. AnamTara, das ist schlichte gefühlvolle Musik mit Spürsinn für das Wesentliche.
