about

‚Phyrrus' handelt von einer Mutter - Tochter Beziehung und der Auseinandersetzung mit der Autonomie. Mit Ansprüchen und Erwartungen. Von der Angst sich selber nicht genug zu sein, sich selbst nicht richtig einschätzen zu können. Von der Erkenntnis was für eine Kraft darin liegt sich über die strukturell vermittelten weiblichen Schwächen zu stellen, sich zu verbünden und sie als Qualitäten für sich zu nutzen. Der Text ist inspiriert von dem Zitat des griechischen König Pyrrhos der gesagt haben soll ‚Noch ein Sieg und wir sind verloren.‘

lyrics

Phyrrus
You should have wished for better Where for all the sleepless nights? You never wanted to take care of a Motherless child
Let me fight my battles
Let me starve and let me faint
I don’t want every inch of my wasted brain To be carefully explained
Please don’t give me what I am asking for No one knows the price that it will cost me Please don’t give me what I am asking for One more victory and I will be lost One more victory and I will be lost
Your touch may be solace
Your smell may be the cure for all my pain But all of you doesn’t matter
I spend years training that waisted brain
Please don’t give me what I am asking for No one knows the price that it will cost me Please don’t give me what I am asking for One more victory and I will be lost One more victory and I will be...
In this wide wide chest Beats a metal heart But all this heavy metal Turns water into blood
Please don’t give me what I am asking for No one knows the price that it will cost me Please don’t give me what I am asking for One more victory and I will be lost One more victory and I will be lost
