about

In Dutch, by Johan:
Dit nummer draait vooral om het niet afwachten van je kansen, het ervan uitgaan dat het wel goed zal komen. Als ik een ding heb geleerd door de jaren heen is dat je van elk moment moet genieten, elke kans moet grijpen, en de pijn of schaamte die dat soms oplevert voor lief moet nemen. Het leven is nu, hier, actief en vormbaar. Gebruik het voor iets moois.

lyrics

“Are you still working at that diner?”
Chutes and ladders, snap and fall
“Your dreams have drifted...” but hey, my customers stay
And you know, I shouldn't even be here at all...

Mom is calling, kids keep asking
My world falling apart
This is my, my certainty / I am poor and I'm beaten
I've got a somewhere to start

Well, what can you offer me then
besides your high hopes and your benefits?
Do you think that they will pay for the four of us?
Pay for their education, pay for the world to come?
I didn't think so, well, I'll see you, say hi to your mom...

Well, what can you offer me then?
Big mouth, small heart, eyes drifting away?
My dreams may have drifted, but my customers stay,
and you know, I shouldn't even be here at all

My kids are starving, my mom has died
My world's falling apart
If this is my certainty/ I'm poor and and I'm beaten
I beg you
Give me somewhere to start
