Über-Ich
ÜBER-ICH<br />Lyrics, music, arrangement & performance by<br />P. Th. Toumassis<br /><br />An Über-ich – the philosophers say –<br />hides underneath each one's bed.<br />Untrue but real, every night, every day,<br />as love's no more tears to shed.<br /><br />People around have a feeling of nothing,<br />pretend they just don't exist.<br />And you may pass through these curtains of nothing,<br />make some rebellion at least.<br /><br />Deep in the sky, there's a river of purple,<br />blood of the gods flows unseen.<br />And, here appears a gold palace eternal,<br />decent immortals live in.<br /><br />Teachers have taught us to stand still and in awe<br />and to believe silly things.<br />If you decide not to remain silent,<br />your screams come out like bee-stings.<br /><br />1.12.2019
