On the Surface Songtext
von Opus

like a spider on the water
- like a sdteamboat on the sea
like the rocks in whiskey - soda
- i am swimmin′ on the surface
like a wave upon the ocean
- like a leaf on a pool
like the reason on emotion
- i am swimmin' on the surface

i′m tryin' to get closer to
- i try to break those walls
in vain, i push but can't get through
- i fail to touch your soul
i′dlike to see inside the case
- i′d like to find what counts
instead i hide behind my face
- i'm driftin′ round and round
on the surface


like a lightbeam fromm a mirror
- like a hammer from a string
like an arrow from a hero
- i'm rebounding from the surface
like a head through a brickwall
- like a sound through a deaf man′s ear
like the truth through a sick soul
- i can't pierce through the surface

i′m tryin' to get...

like a spider on the water
- like a steamboat on the sea
like the rocks in whiskey - soda
- like ideas i don't agree to
like a tree trunk on the river
- like a bottle on a creek
alike doubt that can′t touch believers
- i am swimmin′ on the surface

right now i must get closer to
- i have to break those walls
i'll push and shove til i get through
- til i can feel your soul
i wanna see inside the case
- i wanna find what counts
i′ll cease to hide behind my face
- enough or driftin'round
on the surface
