lyrics
Interview Skit:

Werum, wie, was säge

And you have also war with yourself
Like you want to take yourself to a better place
And you want to make something out of yourself
It’s like a battle
Yeah, you want to live
That’s the worst war, man
And the worst fears, you know
And the worst fear is, man
To stay where you are
Not moving a step forward
This is my fucking fear, man, you know
As a band, and as a family, and as friends, and everything
You want to take everything to a level

Quote
‘The worst fear is to stay where you are and not moving a step forward’.

‘Werum, wie, was säge?’
