The first musical activities have been nothing more than a hobby, when he started, to make some noises with his first sampler, the ASR10. The style walks between kittering bass lines, well balanced bleeps, a catchy sing-along chorus and fancy, synth styled vocals. An interesting feature is that some lyrics are written in German as in the singles "Zeit zu leben", "Als Ob", "Ich denke nicht" and "Ist She schon".
Night Train
Wave in Head Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The train that you take is hidden from the light
You pass, you release the world of yesterday
A black empty window keeps the night away
Tomorrow's your direction and you dive
Into a brand new world - a brand new life
You fall through a wall of dreams into the night
You fail to control the path you´re riding on
The cares that you had turn to oblivion
Tomorrow's your direction and you dive
Into a brand new world - a brand new life
The day you lose reminds you that you win
Forget the mess you leave and choose again!
Drop the pain, release the passion for it all
You're a grain within that something in that nothing of it all
Wake up! You can take the chance to change the course
Do you recognize the station that is yours?
