Seems the dream is ended
And it's no one that I know
No freedom in the keeping
Please clear the exit row
Please go
So this is what it feels like
And we wouldn't need to sleep
Or remember anything
I wouldn't need to be
Something
Just breathe and scream
You think there's truth in order
That there’s order at all
Some answer to the problems
But the house was built too small
No safer in the shelter
Please watch your step
Hope not to fall
So this is what it feels like
Find something to fill you up
Somewhere to make you whole
And the edges how they shimmer
But the sky's not beautiful
So this is what it feels like
Well, I don’t care for this at all
So this is what it feels like
So this is what it feels like
So this is what it feels like
No face to the sound
No eyes to meet mine
No names to recognize
Some days the bright still hurts
Look to be blind
Be blind
Be blind
“Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
A paraphrasing of Sophia Magdalena Scholl’s last words.
“How can we expect righteousness to prevail when there is hardly anyone willing to give himself up individually to a righteous cause? Such a fine, sunny day, and I have to go, but what does my death matter, if through us, thousands of people are awakened and stirred to action?”
Sophia Magdalena Scholl (9 May 1921 – 22 February 1943) was a German student and anti-Nazi political activist, active within the White Rose non-violent resistance group in Nazi Germany.
She was convicted of high treason after having been found distributing anti-war leaflets at the University of Munich (LMU) with her brother, Hans. As a result, she was executed by guillotine. Since the 1970s, Scholl has been extensively commemorated for her anti-Nazi resistance work.
