about

To escape from her lethargy, Suzen must get out of this rut. She walks through the town and suddenly she is feels magically attracted to a women’s soccer team. She watches the players through the high security chain link fence and wishes to be one of them. She imagines, maybe then she would get more attention, have both feet on the ground and a lot of friends and fun…

(Verse 2)
She ventures a step and talks to the girls and promises to do everything to be part of this elite circle. By some miracle Suzen gets a hearing and is allowed to come in. However, …

(heavy part)
… she is told that her performance is below expectations, but she will be the new poster girl. After all, she looks good, she’s got very characterful face and she is great for social media. The manager (his name is Marvin) makes pretty clear: “You have to do what I say!” That means make-up, smiling, wearing merch clothes, photo shootings and interviews with preset answers. She doesn’t like that at all. This is not what she expected…

(final part)
Suzen pulls the ripcord and just wants to get out of the team and contract. As she is prevented from doing so, she completely freaks out and trashes the photographic studio. In her trance she sees a door with the sign “stage entrance”. She opens the door and suddenly she is on stage and sings her heart out. In her fantasy thousands of fans stand in front of the stage and sing with her. Unfortunately, this is also only a dream.

lyrics

+++ PT I +++

+++ Verse 1 +++
Watch them through this chain link fence
Impressed by their uniform appearance
Being in there would make sense
I fear I’m bored to death with my life

+++ Verse 2 +++
I hate my life, my ordinary life
No one seems to recognize my talent
Need to break out of my daily nine to five
One desire’s burning inside of me

+++ Chorus 1 +++
I dream away – anywhere – just one day
Touch the stars – endless sky – firestorm in my eyes

+++ Verse 3 +++
Now I’ve passed the chain link fence
Pushing forward to prove that I’m the right one
Superstardom, rich glam friends
See you need me – now you’ve got me

+++ Chorus +++
I dream away – anywhere – just one day
Touch the stars – endless sky – firestorm in my eyes

+++ PT II +++

We want you in our team, we need someone like you
But first we have to clarify
You’re not a player, you will be the face of our brand
Genius minds lift us up to the sky
This club will rise, we climb the mountains of fame
Your ordinary old life needs to die
We got rules – brotherhood – don’t forget – anything – anybody – anytime

+++ PT III +++

Never want that, never want that, I could fail
Never want that, never want that, I could fail
No more lies, don’t ever lie to me,
No regrets there’s is no-one I would rather be
No more fears, I don’t fear anymore
All those years what have I been waiting for
A brand new start out of this god damn hole
Right from my heart
You’ll never get my body, my soul
Never get my body, my soul. Never! Never!
