lyrics

04. nameless
heard a lot of talk about perfect plans these days
hard to understand sometimes, we’ll dig it later
‘one day everything in the world will make sense’, they say
ain’t it a shame that we never really get it as it happens?

we’re staring at the traces that the world rubs in our faces
and we’re waiting for someone to explain,
that it’s not in vain
and a well-placed reason makes it easy to believe
that everything is a part of the game
and we give it a name

but in my mind and in my heart, there is still a question-mark
you call me shameless
to say ‘truth is not a word, and looking at the world,
everything is namelessx

they say: ‘your ma came to town to meet your daddy at the dances,
and he died so soon and to get there too, she got cancer.x
they say: ‘God knows what to do and he’s got a plan too, it’s just hidden!x
and I turn my head away, cuz I don’t want ‘em to see that I’m spittinx

there’s not much you can say that’s gonna fit in every day
so we make a decision and we give it a name

but in my mind and in my heart, there is still a question-mark…

and it’s your decision to trust this definition
but you may end kissing a poisoned flower
and it’s up to you to decide what you wanna name ‘rightx
but you may end with a plane in your tower
with a plane in your tower

but in my mind and in my heart, there is still a question-mark…

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 ... more
