Reflections 05:26
I know in all that I do I am reflections of you You’re in the coffee I brew Strolling down the streets, between my sheets, your eyes are watching me in all I do Behind the mirror there’s you You light up my face all day through Make my old blurry eyes new Cradled in the storm, in the unknown, your arms are holding me in all I do But cruelty also lives within me Perplexity and deep disbelief So please have mercy with those things in me I know in all that I do I am reflections of you Cradled in the storm, in the unknown, your arms are holding me in all I do But cruelty also lives within me Perplexity and deep disbelief So please have mercy with those things in me But cruelty also lives within me Perplexity and deep disbelief So please have mercy with humanity

You left on a friday morning it’s almost been a year I wonder what you’ve been up to and why am I still here Life was always unfair to you I guess there was nothing we could do Still I regret not being there and I say a prayer I’m sure your last breath wasn’t easy With monsters and demons in your head I wish you the best wherever you might be Peace of mind in whatever lies ahead Life was always unfair to you I guess there was nothing none of us could do Still I regret not being there and I say a prayer that we’ll meet again somehow, somewhere When I received the call I didn’t have a clue at all They said you struggled, they said you struggled, they said you struggled hard Sometimes I’m scared of the darkness I even think of death Sometimes there are shadows all around when I take a breath Cause you left on that friday morning and it’s almost been a year I wonder what this is all about and what am I doing here? I’m sure your last breath wasn’t easy With monsters and demons in your head I wish you the best wherever you might be Peace of mind in whatever lies In whatever lies In whatever lies ahead

No more winding your words around mine No more winding No more blinding my eyes within your golden sight No more blinding I’m falling and falling, I’m falling for you I am falling and falling I know it is hurtful, the ground hits me hard, I’ll be drawling and drawling but I’ll keep on falling apart No more wiping the stains off my heart No more wiping I’ll wrap them up within cotton and silk and then I’ll add some whitening I’m falling and falling, I’m falling for you I am falling and falling I know it is hurtful, the ground hits me hard, I’ll be drawling and drawling but I’ll keep on falling apart Behind my back I hear voices they’re whispering I know they’re lying, and I’m sure you’re listening I’m staying true to myself I'm out here all by myself Step back - don’t keep me from trying I’m falling and falling, I’m falling for you I am falling and falling I know it is hurtful, the ground hits me hard, I’ll be drawling and drawling but I’ll keep on falling apart

Wouldn’t it be nice if we were free? Wouldn’t it be nice if we were lovers on the same spot, honey? Wouldn’t it be nice? You turned me away, oh oh You turned me away, oh oh Wouldn’t it be great if we sold out tonight? Wouldn’t it be grand if we were awesomeness in that one breath, honey? Wouldn’t it be grand? But not today, no no No not today, no no I am not afraid to say goodbye I am not afraid to say goodbye

In this state of mind I am all alone Would you lend an ear for us to spend a minute on our own In this state of mind Can we hide behind? Your words are in my head spinning me around running every street in this little town wearing just one shoe I don’t have a clue what this is you do I am in that flow with all there is to know bout the me and you Lost ‘tween the ceilings and floors Just with my hand touching yours Come and make my day Just a small “hello” Give me just a little piece of what it might be like to be part of you show Your words are in my head spinning me around running every street in this little town wearing just one shoe I don’t have a clue what this is you do I am in that flow with all there is to know bout the me and you Lost ‘tween the ceilings and floors Just with my mind touching yours I’m all caught up behind those blurry windows and locked doors Haven’t got a clue What it is you do I am lost ‘tween the ceilings and floors just with my mind touching yours

Hello dear Ten years have passed since I last saw you I wonder what your life is like now when I don’t know you anymore A strange feeling came rushing over me I felt like running but there was no escape My heart was pounding As we went talking for a while Whatever it was it was love to me, cause you made me weaker than I’ve ever been, though you’re just an ordinary girl It’s funny A heroine can lose her glory You had one but it’s finally gone now And I am breathing my own air Cause you’re no angel, I have found out I live with the memories I won’t wipe them out Goodbye dear Never imagined it could be so easy Just let us walk away Let’s keep pretending That we did never happen

I ask myself: is this all I ask my friends: is this all I ask my love: is this all I ask myself The twisting, the turning the crying, the burning in crazy scenes I watch on TV in all the helplessness that I see forgiveness, no never my shame is read in the eyes of a beggar the winter’s silently closing my eyes When all the twinkleing lights go out I am left in doubt Another year passes by as firework-rain fills the sky As for the questions above I tell myself: there is love There must be love Let’s wake up and move on Let’s wake up and move on Mmmm….

Nightly 03:45
Chasing stars, here with you filling up all of my heart In the dark, in the silence of stories and fine art Counting stars You are safe, you are hearing the whispers of my voice Lingers on, sings your song, keeps repeating it over and over again Let’s now have some sleep Close your eyes for me Let’s now have some peace Let’s now have some Counting stars with your fingers all wrapped up in my hair Breathe, my heart Quietly Let the pounding peter out Meet the stars Let’s now have some sleep Close your eyes for me Let’s now have some peace Some sweet peace...

Healing sometimes takes forever So why am I sitting here staring at the door? Answers only make more questions Thinking makes me restless, waiting, but what for? Oh why? mmm… why I guess it’s love What I’m waiting for is love I wait for you my love You never seem to come Spring is beautiful this year Those flowers bloom so shortly Only days until they fade I’m behind the shades While others always out there hunting treasures by their rainbow’s end Oh why, mmm, why I guess they need love All they’re running for is love It’s in their hands, the love It keeps their hopes up, love Seems like they all have One million things that I will never have But I guess that I just do the wait

About Ceilings & Floors



To be forced to jump off the train and start walking slowly, with the knowledge that it is never possible to jump on again or achieve the same speed does not necessarily have to be sad, but space is given for reflection whether you want it or not. It’s a game-changer. A turning point.

The recent years, I have gone through a tough process in my life. I saw no other way out than to quit my full-time job and through the making of music seek new ways and answers. The songs are therefore very introspective and based on feelings I needed to examine, stories I needed to tell and experiences I needed to go through to understand what was really happening to me. 


What I found out was no answers- of course - but that we all, as human beings, all have our own scars, issues and blind spots. Life is a lottery and we have to accept the cards we have on hand and learn to play them due to the circumstances given. Then all of a sudden the rules are changing and there’s a new game going on… So welcome to my ongoing game - the game of Ceilings and Floors!

It’s a game of highs and lows, containing minimalistic, naked & acoustic pop bursting out of the bluest melancholy. Shame, guilt, wishes, dreams, grief, comfort, fear and love - the whole spectre of feelings are there, showing their light and shade.


I hope my stories will find new homes in your ears and hearts! /Lisa
