Charly Bless, Ode to my Headphones

Album - Introview

Paroles

I

When reality’s stuck on repeat and I need to flee

from all the things one’s forced to deal with in today’S world

I put on my headphones and suck in the smell of the streets

let my arms start swinging and my head nod to the rhythm

adjust the pace of my feet to the drums of the beat and listen through the wire cuz if you don’t choose the latest crap at the other end of it

someone may say or sing something that’s exactly what you feel and think

strangers you never met before who spell out the things

you carry in your chest

but music provides enough space for all of those weird sentences and tones that get stuck in your throat and are not really embraced by most

when you try to explain the hight of the waves that are floodin your brain

while following a road that don’t match everybody’s taste

 

Hook

 

When reality’s stuck on repeat and I need to flee...

 

Ode to my headphones

that join me when I’m lonely

and give me hope when it’s cold

and don’t tell me you don’t know

what I’m talkin about

 

...I let my arms start swinging

 

II

so in case you don’t usually sit around enjoyin

good old vinyls but are mostly surrounded by too many

lights, talks n screens, looks, cars and construction machines

all that noise that makes you too tired too care about the important things

than I propose to put on some phones cuz they act like a shield

help me to become quiet inside

and at the same time more aware of what’s passin my eyes

like birds dancing above our heads

cuz when the base knocks against the doors of my soul

it forces me to open up become one with the world and float like

the clouds through whatever surrounds me

may it be gray sunny or windy weather

doesn’t matter when time and space lose control over you

and the beat transports you onto a whole new level

where senses work together without commercials on all channels

 

Hook

When reality’s stuck on repeat and I need to flee...

 

Ode to my headphones

that join me when I’m lonely

and give me hope when it’s cold

and don’t tell me you don’t know

what I’m talkin about

 

...I let my arms start swinging

 

III

So whenever things around me try to turn me upside down like a rollercoaster right into a dead end I stop and look closer to find my way back again and again and again

to my own points of view from which city landscapes lose their madness

and turn into crazy paintings that can never be judged by your ratings

cuz everything in it is necessary to make us contemplate a bit

about how much and what exactly we put into it

and if it fits in with what you expect to get

but when it does that’s when things you wish for happen so I keep on rapping to give back some of that loving flowing through my phones until my train of thought slowly starts humming and I realize even though music helps me a lot what still matters is that ain’t nothin better than someone to share it with

so I rather turn it off now before I miss the chance to meet that

sweet boy across the street who looks like he understands

 

Hook

When reality’s stuck on repeat and I need to flee...

 

Ode to my headphones

that join me when I’m lonely

and give me hope when it’s cold

and don’t tell me you don’t know

what I’m talkin about

 

...I let my arms start swinging
