Figurines from movie scenes
Collectibles more than you have seen
Yeah, that’s me
Holding on was never wrong
Until you came along and smiled at me
Now I’m in retreat
Yeah, I’m givin’ it up for you, love
Yeah, I’m givin’ it all up
I’m givin’ it up for you, love
’Cause I don’t wanna break up
Yeah, I’m giving it up for you, love
Yeah, the hours that I’ve wasted
I’m givin’ it up for you, love
I’m givin’ it up
I’m givin’ it up now
So everytime you come around
I hide my superheroes in the couch
And my flix in the cloud
And everytime you’re telling me
My place is nice but somehow squeaky clean
It’s almost obscene
Yeah, I’m givin’ it up for you, love
Yeah, I’m givin’ it all up
I’m givin’ it up for you, love
’Cause I don’t wanna break up
Yeah, I’m giving it up for you, love
Yeah, the hours that I’ve wasted
I’m givin’ it up for you, love
I’m givin’ it up
I’m givin’ it up now
Wait! Can I get a word in?
I see you, so please be quiet now
Please! Let’s free your people
I can feel them everytime we kiss
No, I won’t miss
Thor’s hammer in my ribs
So from here on out my own self-doubt
And secrecy are no longer policy
This I’ll decree
Yeah, I’m givin’ it up for you, love
Yeah, I’m givin’ it all up
I’m givin’ it up for you, love
’Cause I don’t wanna break up
I’m giving it up for you, love
Yeah, the hours that I’ve wasted
I’m givin’ it up for you, love
I’m givin’ it up
I’m givin’ it up now
I’m givin’ it up now
I’m givin’ it up now
I’m givin’ it up now
I’m givin’ it up
I’m givin’ it up now

The Ceiling

I wanna say I love it here
I really do
But something’s got a hold on me
And it’s got me fooled
The way that things have changed for me
I should be in awe
But I can’t help but to feel estranged
And a little flawed
I can not reach the ceiling
From where I’m standing
Way above the crowd
So help me out
I can’t believe I’m grieving
Again for something
I no longer have
I should do the math
But it seems I can’t
I’m never neither here nor there
I’m always at odds
A struggle surging through my veins
But it never stops
The way that things have changed in me
I should be in awe
But I can’t help but to feel estranged
And a little flawed
I can not reach the ceiling
From where I’m standing
Way above the crowd
So help me out
I can’t believe I’m grieving
Again for something
I no longer have
I should do the math
But it seems I can’t
Breathe out
And you’ll breathe me in and out
Yeah that’s, that’s how we begin
To fall to what, whatever our hole
But now let’s dig ourselves out
From way above the crowd
So help me out
I can’t believe I’m grieving
Again for something
I no longer have
I should do the math
But it seems I can’t

Soar

Everyone needs a hiding place
Everyone needs to feel safe
Found mine in a dream I had
Outside a world gone mad
So I’m loving my lie
And I’m willing myself to fly
And I’m breaking but I’m going out in style
But I was never meant to
I was never meant to soar
Above the buildings and the boring life I led before
No, I was never meant to
I was never meant to soar
Everyone needs a fighting chance
Everyone needs a sword in their hands
Found strength in the dream I had
No gravity holding me back
So I’m loving my lie
And I’m willing myself to fly
And I’m breaking but I’m going out in style
But I was never meant to
I was never meant to soar
Above the buildings and the boring life I led before
No, I was never meant to
I was never meant to soar
Everyone needs a hiding place
Everyone needs a saving grace
Everyone needs to dig out a hole
But I was born with a restless soul
’Cause I was ever meant to
’Cause I was ever meant to soar
Above the buildings and the boring life I led before
Yeah, I was ever meant to
I was ever meant to soar
Above the buildings and the boring life I led before

Stranglehold

I’m leaving like a bullet train
I’m leaving faster than you thought I’d make my way
And I’m guessing you’ll just stick around
I’m guessing you will be the last one outta town
This is easy
Easy-breezy
’Til you see me
Oh no Jon, you don’t!
Forget about our rigmarole?
You got a stranglehold
And you won’t let go
You got a stranglehold
On my leaving soul
But I’m leaving like the arrow flies
I’m leaving straight and narrow right between your spies
I will never be wholly rid of you
You will never be mine again tightening that noose
This is easy
Easy-breezy
’Til you see me
Oh no Jon, you don’t!
Forget about our rigmarole?
You got a stranglehold
On my leaving soul
You got a stranglehold
But you won’t let go
A stranglehold
On my leaving soul
No more stranglehold
’Cause you’re gon’ let go

The Fisherman & The Sea Helsinki, Finland
From Finland – a country that allegedly holds more metal bands than park rangers are able to rescue from their gothic photoshoots in the hinterlands, and where disoriented polar bears roam downtown shopping centres – hail singer-songwriter Jon Eden and his band. His roots also put him in Hamburg, Germany thus planting him somewhere in the Baltic Sea in compromise – hence the name of the band. ... more
