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".
This Life Is Mine
Wave in Head Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't want to heal your complicated lives
I've got mine
I don't pay the bills for your abbreviations
I don't climb your hills to help you save your rights
I've got mine
This time this life is mine
I don't want to waster my life in patience
I don't want to haste to save you precious time
I need mine
I don't want to give when I don´t want to
I just let you live your independent life
Cause I've got mine
