Same mistakes

„You’re not going far.“ That‘s what they always used to say. Trying to prevent me from mistakes I shouldn’t make. For sure, their advice was meant for the best. So tired of suggestions without request. If I could restart life today, I’d make all the same mistakes. Getting lost doesn’t mean that I’ve lost my way. I’d make all the same mistakes. So many people are criticizing just to criticize living their whole lives without a risk. If I could restart life I can’t pretend, I wouldn’t make the same mistakes again and again and again. Getting lost doesn’t mean that I’ve lost my way. I’d make all the same mistakes. But none of them could change, adaptation is not my intent. Whenever I mess up, I back it up 100%. Deciding from my gut leaves me satisfied in the end.

Into the grey

Is there even objectivity or just a billion realities? With that many questions, how can we ever be sure of anything? I’m not asking anyone to see things as I do. Would be nice if you’d accept that I don’t share your point of view. What’s wrong tomorrow is right just for now. That’s the reason why I can’t see how anyone can think they’ve got it all figured out. It’s kind of presumptious. We’ve seen it in history. Why would you think it won’t repeat? What used to be common tomorrow is obsolete. So is there even anything, anything like certainty? Believing so, I must admit, really suits you perfectly. What’s wrong tomorrow is right just for now. That’s the reason why I can’t see how anyone can think they’ve got it all figured out. It’s kind of presumptious. Changing your mind, it’s always been ok. We need less black and white. We need more grey. I gave it all to stay away from this. It’s kind of helpless. It’s kind of hopeless.

Good soldiers

Congratulations, sir. Your bank loan has been authorized. And now I pay my respects to the flames that were dowsed by the lies.Try to make some sense of this sorriest state of affairs. Half-ashamed of the seeds that’ve sown themselves upstairs. I’ve come all this way and maybe it’s time to come clean. I’ve spent my whole life looking up at someone else’s dream. It’s not what you come for but it’s what you needed to hear. Don’t even get up, I’ll see myself right outta here. I won’t shut the fuck up and be a good soldier.

Bellyacher NRW, Germany
BA initially formed in Jan 2020, right before a pandemic hit and slowed their
progress.
Meeting rarely over the first few months, they managed to write some carefully-crafted anthems. Original expectations took an unintentional turn towards melodic indiepunk, 90s emo/post-hc and college alt rock, especially after adding Claudia on vocals.
Always happy to hear from you. Get in touch any time xo
