Hi!

I’m sitting here backstage
No appetite
but somehow satisfied
The waiting is over
it’s stage time
and I got no place to hide
Another day, another site,
Another show on a Saturday night
Another beer, another fight,
another show by Dave Collide
Yeah, that’s me – hi everybody
(Whohoo) I’m Dave Collide
Somewhat Punk Rock acoustisized
(Whohoo) I’m Dave Collide
Let’s go and have a good time
No, it ain’t no crime
so let’s make things right
and spend some time together
to have a damn good time

Final Feast
02:49
|
|

Please cut off that love song,
please stop your stupid dance.
I don’t feel like party right now.
I guess that you don’t have a glance
of what this ugly circumstance
means to you, me and the rest.
Yeah, western countries work the best
by sqeezing earth and reinvest
life driven by the will to expand
child workers facing a bitter end
their future days fairly depend
on our consuming greedy hands
We shit our own pants frequently
because we feel so fucking free
I swear my friend it’s too late when
we feel warm by our feet.
Soon will be our final feast.
And if you take a look around
our future might look safe and sound.
The 23rd pair of shoes, please deliver me
While we‘re high on a shopping spree
million others got nothing to eat
Raise this monument of liberty
We shit our own pants frequently
because we feel so fucking free
I swear my friend it’s too late when
we feel warm by our feet.
Soon will be our final feast.
We set our goals & we try to shine so bright
But we’re nothing more than narcistic parasites
We try so hard & wanna shine so bright
But ran out of good arguments to justify
We shit our own pants frequently
because we feel so fucking free
I swear my friend it’s too late when
we feel warm by our feet.
Soon will be our final feast.

Be Loud

I wish the world would be a little more fair
And people to be a little more aware
The lord still of a toxic kind
Most fellows seem to be blind
You were born a bird
who said that you can not fly?
I believe in you bright shining star of gold
and maybe you never have been told
You’re the bomb you‘re a hero
brave like a bee
You’re proud like a lion
and strong like a tree
Just be loud
Don’t ever shut your mouth
Anymore
Don’t let them draw you down
Just be loud
Don’t ever shut your mouth
Anymore
Don’t let them draw you down
Until your body’s under ground
Step outside and see what you will find
Take what’s yours and what you got in mind
I see a flickering in your eyes
One more spark to set afire
You can climb the mountain
and hit the top
I know it takes courage
but you can do it
Just be loud
Don’t ever shut your mouth
Anymore
Don’t let them draw you down
Just be loud
Don’t ever shut your mouth
Anymore
Don’t let them draw you down
Until your body’s under ground
And even then your deeds will remain
No, the world won’t ever be the same
So be proud of whatever you design
Go out and make shure to stay afar
to a cage built by hands of mankind
Just be loud
Don’t ever shut your mouth
Anymore
Don’t let them draw you down
Just be loud
Don’t ever shut your mouth
Anymore
Don’t let them draw you down
Until your body’s under ground
Don’t ever shut your mouth anymore
Even when your body found a bed in the ground

Stop Eating Our Friends
03:36
|
|||
|
Somehow you made it out and
finally stripped away your shell
And all you see is
an endless ocean of feathers
It’s kinda cool to hang out
with a huge pack of friends
of the same age
But in 18 weeks or so
the party is gonna be over
you’ll be taken away and
boxed in to forced labour
And by the way
all of your brothers already
got shredded on day one
There should have been
more days to come
but they’ve been
shredded on day one
No, I can’t wait
for the day to celebrate
When you turn over, understand
and stop eating our friends
No I can’t wait
for the liberation day
Come take my hand
let’s make a change
And stop eating our friends
Imagine you were born
in a tiny box, a sinkhole
full of faeces
of your mother and your siblings
You won’t ever see the daylight and
feel the warmth of the sun’s shiny rays
But what you still don’t know
is all this shit’s gonna be over
in a few months
when you’re stuffed to almost blow up
There won’t be a chance to run away
when the final day has come
There should have been
more days to come
to feel the warmth
of the morning sun
No, I can’t wait
for the day to celebrate
When you turn over, understand
and stop eating our friends
No I can’t wait
for the liberation day
Come take my hand let’s make a change
And stop eating our friends
When I was a young boy
My father told me
To eat my meat soup
To be a stronger man
Until the very last spoon will fall
I won’t ever dine meat anymore
I feel stronger than ever before
And mother earth will thank for sure
No, I can’t wait
for the day to celebrate
When you turn over, understand
and stop eating our friends
No I can’t wait
for the liberation day
Come take my hand let’s make a change
And stop eating our friends
No, I can’t wait
for the day to celebrate
So all together let’s make a change
And stop eating our friends

Sometimes life hits you hardest
when you’re far from the coast
One second to another
one big wave may cost you the most
We celebrated your 50th
if I’d known it is your last
I had written this song earlier
to thank you for the past
Sometimes I see you while I sleep
see you in my dreams
see you far from the coast
You tell me that you miss us
and what you would give to be here
The evening when I wrote this song
I felt pleased and also sad
And everytime I play it
I remember
you were more than just a Dad
We celebrated your 50th
if I’d known it is your last
I had written this song earlier
to thank you for the past
If there was a good god
why do good hearts have to go?
Even if do you think
he’d keep a promise
I don’t know.
What’s the explanation for
good hearts leave in prime
Your final ship has left the shore
In the middle of your lifetime

My friend Ann was on her way home
from the Gaslight show
She left all her friends
and felt safe to walk alone
But then her heart began to race
she looked over her back
Saw some guy coming up towards her
and was prepped for an attack
Thankfully, he let her be
still a creepy ass
There’ve been many times I’ve been told
I’m not feminine enough
But who are you to say so
Do you think you’re really tough
I’m not gonna let the opinions of
These misogynistic ignorant pricks
Trip up my strut
They’ll learn real quick
that I don’t give a fuck
Sometimes it’s how you stare
sometimes a single touch
You think it’s not offensive
when it really is too much
All we want to do is dance
with no intention of a kiss
Dude, get a grip and don’t
behave like a rampant maniac
Treat women with respect
and don’t be a dick
Imagine you’re in party shoes
night out with the girls
You‘re gonna climb the table tops
put on some shiny pearls
You speak to this cute guy and
he invites you for a drink
and just a moment later
you hit the ground like a brick
A few more drops and seriously
that would have been it
and that’s attempted homicide
you fuckin’ lunatic
Sometimes it’s how you stare
sometimes a single touch
You think it’s not offensive
when it really is too much
All we want to do is dance
with no intention of a kiss
Dude, get a grip and don’t
behave like a rampant maniac
Treat women with respect
and don’t be a dick
Discomfort fills the atmosphere
when light and dark unite
The silence can be sweet at all
and strange by any kind
There is barely a thing to maculate
the beauty of the night
Except the feeling of being harassed
by some random shitty prick
treat women with respect
and don’t be a dick

Why Not?!
03:22
|
|
||
|
Let’s start spinning around
Some mad ideas of breaking out
And conquer all the world
I imagine some cool place
where we all can live free
No discrimination
none will be excluded
And we will never look back
to the place we used to be
So why not push it forward
When red lights turned to green
And try to be our best selves
Never imagined we could be
The sirens might be loud so
Let’s sing these words even louder
What you can achieve today
tomorrow you’ll be proud of
So why not?!
Why not, why not?!
Why not step across
this thin line of chalk
And why not?!
Why not, why not?!
Why not question all the lies
That we’ve been taught
Let’s start turning around
the steering wheel of history
and sheer off our old course
The gemmy stars may guide
our ships to foreign shores
No one of us will be left behind
And we will never look back
to when we’ve been stuck indoors
So why not push it forward
When red lights turned to green
And try to be our best selves
Never imagined we could be
Their slogans might be threatening
Let me hear your voice even louder
And tomorrow we will finally be free
So why not?!
Why not, why not?!
Why not step across
this thin line of chalk
I am still looking out for a meaning
Some friends found it by the sea.
Why not quit my job, middle fingers high,
finally drop the mask and simply be me?
So why not?!
Why not question all the lies
That we’ve been taught
So why not?! Why not?!

Hast Du Gesagt
02:53

Ich bin mir nicht ganz sicher,
hab’s dir glaub nie erzählt.
Die Story drüber wer ich bin
und was ich halte von der Welt.
Ich hab noch nie nen Song gemacht
doch Power-Chords gehen gut
Jetzt sitz ich hier, versuch mich mal daran
‘ne Cola und nur Mut
Das ganze hier blieb viel zu lang geheim
Wie ich da saß
und träumte ein Rockstar zu sein
Come on Baby, nimm mich bei der Hand
es ist Zeit die Welt zu sehen
Und warum ich das erst jetzt erkenn’
wird mir so schnell nicht runter gehen
In meinem Traum hast du gesagt
dass ich alles schaffen kann,
wenn ich nur mag
Die Gunst der Stunde beim Schopfe gepackt
Ich kann das schaffen, hast du gesagt.
Hast du gesagt, hast du gesagt
Es war mir nicht ganz schlüssig, was ich wirklich will
Hab viele Jahre an Schrauben gedreht,
in der Freizeit hart gechillt
Nun packt’s mich doch und
ich schau mal wohin es geht
Spiel an jeder Ecke
ich hoffe dass der Bastler in mir
nun auch diesen Test besteht
(was soll da schon schief gehen?)
Come on Baby, nimm mich bei der Hand
es ist Zeit die Welt zu sehen
Und warum ich das erst jetzt erkenn’
wird mir so schnell nicht runter gehen
In meinem Traum hast du gesagt
dass ich alles schaffen kann,
wenn ich nur mag
Die Gunst der Stunde beim Schopfe gepackt
Ich kann das schaffen, hast du gesagt.
Hast du gesagt, hast du gesagt
Nun 17 Jahre später,
schaut her wer ich jetzt bin
Ein Trottel mit Gitarre
Der hier steht und für euch singt

When life serves you troubles
just pop the balloon
Call up all your friends
to have a drink or two
When life gives you lemons
make beer out of fruit
Let’s head into to the city
and party ‘til noon
Tomorrow will be a new day
You might stumble and fall
But today we celebrate decay
and tomorrow you will stand tall
When life gives you lemons
make beer out of fruit
10pm at Kap
See you all soon
Tonight we‘re gonna dance,
a Saurer or two
Oh, how easy it could be
think about the balloon
Tomorrow will be a new day
You might stumble and fall
But today we celebrate decay
and tomorrow you will stand tall
When life gives you lemons
make beer out of fruit
1 am at Goldmarks
never felt so good
One of the last cool places
in our hood
All my friends are here
and of course you should be here too.
Tomorrow will be a new day
You might stumble and fall
But today we celebrate decay
and tomorrow you will stand tall

Walk Alone
03:31

About to leave home again
Let my thoughts wander
and think nothing at all
I’ll stroll away from here
won’t shed a single tear
In this prison there’s
way too much frustration
hard work and tons of beer
Oh fuck that,
actually everything is okay
But sometimes it seems like
there is so much more to find
alongside the railway
Sometimes I walk alone
No I don’t need anyone
Just myself, a clear mind
and nothing to get done
Sometimes I walk alone
a quiet place in the sun
Just myself, a clear mind
and nothing to get done
Today you’ll find me by the shore
Let my thoughts wander
Sand between my toes
Touring alone is fun
But I can’t wait to be back home
I spend my life on itchy feet
and there is so much more to see
But don’t worry,
actually everything is okay
But now and then I feel like
I miss the sweet virtues of an ordinary life…
Sometimes I walk alone
No I don’t need anyone
Just myself, a clear mind
and nothing to get done
Sometimes I walk alone
a quiet place in the sun
Just myself, a clear mind
and nothing to get done

Raised A Christian

Well, I was raised a Christian
just like my parents called
and If I’d stuck with all of that stuff
It would have been my fault
yeah I was raised a Christian
just like my parents been
I tried to get along with that
but I don’t believe in sin
No, I don’t believe in sin
I am just who I am
Yeah I believe in true love
I believe in my friends
I don’t need any kind of god
to tell me who the fuck I really am
well I was raised a Christian
yeah I‘ve been so naive
that all I do is justified
simply by my belief
yeah I was raised a Christian
my grandma taught me so
and if I am a good man
straight to heaven I shall go
but what I still wanna know
am I just who I am?
and who I meant to be
am I just who I am?
Yeah I believe in true love
I believe in my friends
I don’t need any kind of god
So tell me what the
hell is heaven good foooor
If I follow all your rules
to pass an imaginary door,
will I end up naked and alone
on some angel‘s dirty floor?
Yeah I believe in true love
I believe in my friends
I don’t need any kind of god
to tell me who the fuck I really am
I still wanna know
I still wanna know
I still wanna know
what the hell is heaven good for?

Anker

Hey, mein alter Freund
komm schnapp dir doch ’n Bier
Wie schön ist nur die Vorstellung
wärest du hier doch bei mir
Ich erinner mich gern dran zurück
wie du damals gewesen bist
Angehimmelt von den Girls,
schon im Sandkasten ein Anarchist
Es spielt keine Rolle, ob im Leben oder Tod
Deine Zeit war nicht gekommen,
doch du bist leider schon fort
Es spielt keine Rolle, ob im Leben oder Tod
Unsere Zeit halt’ ich in Ehren
die Erinnerung mein Anker in der Not
Hey Alter, weißt du noch?
Was haben sie uns durch’s Dorf gejagt
Wir schmierten an die Häuserfronten
„Kein Gott und kein Staat“
Und wenn es einen Gott gäb’,
hätt’ er dich wohl kaum geholt
Du warst allzeit ein guter Mensch
hast nie was außer Zeit gestohl’n
Es spielt keine Rolle, ob im Leben oder Tod
Deine Zeit war nicht gekommen,
doch du bist leider schon fort
Es spielt keine Rolle, ob im Leben oder Tod
Unsere Zeit halt’ ich in Ehren
die Erinnerung mein Anker in der Not
Deine Zeit war nicht gekommen,
doch du bist leider schon fort
Unsere Zeit halt’ ich in Ehren
die Erinnerung mein Anker in der Not
