The Basics Songtext
von Etienne Carstens

Just back away
Give me a little room
These emotions betray

Keep clear of me
I need to be enveloped
Find my dignity

This is is isn′t me
This is a travesty
This is isn't me
This is is isn′t me
No sensibility

In this wake I have become
A man who never sees a thing
It should be me facing none
Learning again the basics

In this rust I built my home
A place to hold my tricks
It should be me all alone
Getting to know the basics


Close the gap fast
Cut to the core
Filter through the trash

Dig on through
Fingers go cold
When a face starts to show

This is is isn't me
This is a malady
This is isn't me
This is is isn′t me
No humanity

In this wake I have become
A man who never sees a thing
It should be me facing none
Learning again the basics

In this rust I built my home
A place to hold my tricks
It should be me all alone
Getting to know the basics


In this wake I have become
A man who never sees a thing
It should be me facing none
Learning again the basics

In this rust I built my home
A place to hold my tricks
It should be me all alone
Getting to know the basics
