Lyrics:

/?'la?n//a'la?n/ (align allein)


'unbehagen in der Kultur'
no club is mine
discomfort with time
engaged in trends without rhyme
can’t quite align

to these mainstreamed planes of
mediocre banality
(the) arch enemy
of lucidity


i couldn’t care
**anything less ‚bout this**
but don‘t yet dare
**speaking out how it is**
(´cause/that) what you infer
*i dismiss*

'i can't be the only one, hearing this'
this concept of
self-realization
(an) imperative comparative narrative
based on
~~ignorance, bias and fear~~
(the/thus)one-eyed leading blind

... into numb coalescence
of piles of cyber-friends
implicit congruence
against solitude’s uncertainty
one shape one goal one mind


wasn’t it better
**even if harder to find out**
that first and foremost proof’s what really matters
**insight and knowledge over doubt**
dare to see the truth
*but easier‘s the latter*


'i've been there before'
how much must i know?
how old must i get?
to suss out the show
purify my regrets

influence-aware
in times and shapes i had
just the means to appeal
to the people i have met

(sought) attitudes to share
beliefs to neglect(/object)
how much must i know?
how old must i get?


'... nevermind'
(so/‘cause) with the mind out
it’s less dangerous
cause the crowd/mass/flow/stream grants
standard-common-sense for free

moved so well
while standing still
„here i am now
entertain meeeeeee!“

though a society’s more than its people’s sum
there’s still a myriad ways
for each to take or shun
if a whole life grants time enough
to grow and cut collectives´ bounds
chances are that every way can be
a goal

and though the more i know
the more i might get scared
**welcome 2 complex times**
even more scaring is the fear of the unknown
if a lifetime’s to be enough
to grow beyond horizons bounds
(self-)experience prevails
the way to go
