about

Geschrieben im Wald
Inspiriert durch Into the Wild

lyrics

Head held high

He’s in really awful shape
An unwashed jewel in the sand
Drinking coffee out of tincups
Thumbing down the promised land

15 weeks out in the highway
seeking meaning way up north
along with solitude and roots
he couldn’t find on western shores

No need for money where he’s headed
nor his name
He won’t turn out the same

Walks with his head held high

He’s a secret man in motion
And open man to tell
How the doors to daddy’s garden
Looked just like the gates of hell

He’s a window to the future
And captive of the past
And he can’t escape by running
Cause no man escapes himself

He is openly devoted to the pain
Of free and living men

Walks with his head held high

He never stopped believing
maybe in the end
When all his diary wrote was
“Lonely”, “Scared” and “Help!”

He’s an imagined boy of nature
And a son of city steel
He’s an architect of nightmares
When his dreams became too real

He is everybody’s answers
and their shame
Who dares to walk with him

Walks with his head held high
