Anything but straight

from Night Light by Trummer

/

lyrics

01. anything but straight
woke up again just like yesterday
and the world was turning on anyway
sometimes I wish it wouldn’t,
so the one little moment could last
and wouldn’t always fade from day to day,
cuz this life looks to me
like nothin’more but a chain of pointless episodes
with me in the starring role

and so I wait, every day,
it might bring up some new way
something strange, some big change
something anything but straight

same old faces at the same old places,
and the same old plans, but never made
they’re all gonna do better, they all wanna leave soon,
but I know: they’re all gonna stay,
in one or another way
cuz I’ve tried to change, again and again,
and I still carry the same old bags
I just hide behind another mask

and so I wait, every day,
it might bring up some new way
something strange, some big change
something anything but straight
something good enough to stay

oh, love has vanished, somewhere between the storylines
I saw it leave with hope in it’s hand
I’m still running and this road never ends

and so I wait, every day…

about

Trummer Berne, Switzerland

"Es ist nicht übertrieben zu behaupten, Trummer gehöre zu den ganz wenigen Schweizer Künstlern, die Songs auf einem derart hohen Niveau nicht bloss schreiben und komponieren, sondern auch vortragen können."
Pedro Lenz.
"Trummers Songs berühren, weil sie weder belehren noch beeindrucken wollen, sondern es bei der schlichten Frage belassen: Kennt ihr das auch?“
Laudatio SUISA Stiftungspreis 2011
