">>Dear fans, dear friends,

As a band we reached a point in our career where it is time for us to start something new.
We decided to discontinue working as Cinema Bizarre from now on and take a break beginning in 2010.

We want to say thank you for all the faithful and devoted loyalty and we are grateful for getting the chances able to work with wonderful and talented people.
The results are two albums that made us travel the whole world to see your faces and play our songs.

We look back in delight, are happy to be the best German newcomer outside Germany, we like to think about all the concerts we played.
The last year was a huge success for Cinema Bizarre.
Some say one should leave off with an appetite.

All's well that ends well - we'll meet again.
Stay true to yourself.

Love, Cinema Bizarre<<"

The Way We Are
Cinema Bizarre Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We have been told
There's only one way to go
But we live different lives
Dreams to unfold
Like a kaleidoscope
Reflecting hundred skies

No hiding

No faking
This life cause it's amazing
You want it
You need it
Beware! It's so contagious

Call it strange
This is the way we are
For beyond your dreams
Break your chains
Open your mind for more
See what it's like to be
The way we are
The way we are

We are so high
We dance on the edge of the sky
Where no one dares to go
Flashes of light
Tell us the time is right
To blow your mind once more

No hiding
No faking
This life cause it's amazing
You want it
You need it
Beware! It's so contagious

Call it strange
This is the way we are
For beyond your dreams
Break your chains
Open your mind for more
See what it's like to be
The way we are
The way we are

No hiding
No faking
This life cause it's amazing

Call it strange
This is the way we are
For beyond your dreams
Break your chains
Open your mind for more
See what it's like to be
The way we are
No hiding
No faking

This life cause it's amazing
The way we are

Overall Meaning

The song "The Way We Are" by Cinema Bizarre talks about how society has imposed certain norms upon us and how people are expected to lead their lives in a certain way. However, the lyrics suggest that people have their own individuality and that they should embrace it. The song encourages people to break free from the chains that hold them back and to live life in their own unique ways. The lyrics use the metaphor of a kaleidoscope to represent the different perspectives and dreams that each individual has.

The chorus echoes this sentiment by calling it strange, different and beyond expectations, but it also encourages listeners to open their minds to something different and see what it's like to be the way they are. The lines "We are so high / We dance on the edge of the sky / Where no one dares to go" suggest that the band is living life to the fullest, unafraid of taking risks, and enjoying the journey. The song promotes authenticity, individuality, and self-expression while rejecting conformity and sameness.
