Silverball
Cultured Pearls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A sullen face I saw a silverball
It led me to a concert hall I followed it inside
As I sat down a smile began to come upon my face
And I saw that the singer held a silverball
Smiling wide and standing tall
Her music sounds so sweet
She smiled at me
I had a dream of one silverball
Guiding me to felicity
I had a dream
Happy I seemed
But it was just a dream
Happy I seemed
A rainy day, a walk outside
Where oh where is my sun
Why must it hide
A silver ball passed beside my eye
It seemed as if to fly to the sun
Where a woman with a funny face
Juggled two big silverballs
Of sadness there's no trace
She smiled at me
I had a dream of two silverballs
Guiding me to felicity
I had a dream
Happy I seemed
But it was just a dream
Happy I seemed
Floating towards a stairway I
See all people holding my
Silver fortune balls
Throwing them at me to catch
I jump high can't reach them yet
My fortune passes by
They smiled at me
I woke up late but stayed in bed
Another silverball rolled past my head
Please let me catch just once this ball
I know I'll be alright if I hold it tight
I had a dream of three silverballs
guiding me to felicity
I had a dream
Happy I seemed
But it was just a dream
Happy I seemed
Happy I seemed
With three silverballs
Happy I seemed

With a lousy moon
Under a disappointing sky
A sullen face I saw a silverball
I discovered a glimmer of hope which lifted my spirits
It led me to a concert hall I followed it inside
The glimmer of hope took me to a place of entertainment
As I sat down a smile began to come upon my face
I began to feel joy in my heart as I settled in
And I saw that the singer held a silverball
I noticed that the performer also possessed a glimmer of hope
Smiling wide and standing tall
Positively presenting herself
Her music sounds so sweet
The entertainment was lively and enjoyable
She smiled at me
The performer acknowledged me and it made me feel happy
I had a dream of one silverball
I have previously envisioned one small source of hope
Guiding me to felicity
This source of hope helped me find happiness
Happy I seemed
I was content thanks to this hope
But it was just a dream
Unfortunately, this was a temporary feeling
A rainy day, a walk outside
In bad weather, I went for a stroll
Where oh where is my sun
I searched for some form of hope in the dreary atmosphere
Why must it hide
I pondered why hope seems hard to find sometimes
A silver ball passed beside my eye
Another glimmer of hope caught my attention
It seemed as if to fly to the sun
It gave me the impression that hope was possible to obtain
Where a woman with a funny face
In a pleasant scene
Juggled two big silverballs
Someone else was also filled with a reasonable amount of hope
Of sadness there's no trace
There wasn't a hint of negativity
She smiled at me
The other person's sense of hope made me feel better
I had a dream of two silverballs
I once pictured myself with two sources of hope
Floating towards a stairway I
I was taken towards higher experiences
See all people holding my
Others also had hope
Silver fortune balls
Everyone's hope had value
Throwing them at me to catch
Others encouraged me to hold onto hope
I jump high can't reach them yet
I wasn't quite capable of holding onto hope as effectively as others
My fortune passes by
I missed out on some opportunities
They smiled at me
Despite this, others still supported me
I woke up late but stayed in bed
I felt unmotivated to face the day
Another silverball rolled past my head
I recognized another chance for hope
Please let me catch just once this ball
I wished for the strength to hold onto hope
I know I'll be alright if I hold it tight
I believed that hope would help me feel better
I had a dream of three silverballs
I envisioned several sources of hope
Guiding me to felicity
These sources of hope would lead me to happiness
Happy I seemed
While I still had hope, I felt a sense of contentment
With three silverballs
It seemed like a good amount of hope to have
Happy I seemed
Happiness came easier with more sources of hope in my life

Silber? Nein , eine goldene Kehle in einem schönen Körper. Nun unterhält sie die Engel mit ihrem schönen Gesang. Ihre authentischen LiveAuftritte auf Erden fehlen uns. Es ist so schade, dass sie zu früh von uns ging. Wir werden sie nicht vergessen.

Danke Thank You for the Music, Ruhe in Frieden.

Oh je ... Astrid. Eine der schönsten Stimmen aus unserem Land. Mögen dich viele Silberbälle dahin begleiten, wo du dich aufhalten magst. Viel Kraft für deine Familie!

Ich habe die CD damals rauf und runter gehört. Ich hab's geliebt, vergessen, heute erinnert und was muss ich hier lesen? 😓Ich habe es nicht mitbekommen. Ruhe in Frieden. 🕯So schade.
@TheNewMusicMovement
Rest in Peace Astrid. I am absolutely devastated...
