New Song: The Riddle

Mar 29, 2025

The world has changed in a very short amount of time. Luckily I was able to spend some time on an island before everything turned dark and therefore I made some amazing memories which I want to share with you guys.

“The Riddle” is a song about making choices, about being stuck in a decision and not knowing which direction to go.

Entscheidungen sind mir in meinem Leben immer sehr schwer gefallen. Welcher Weg soll eingeschlagen werden, wo werde ich am Ende herauskommen. Hin- und hergerissen zwischen zwei möglichen Wegen die beide in eine unbekannte Zukunft führen.

“The Riddle” beschreibt eine zweigespaltene imaginäre Konversation mit meinem inneren Ich, ein Streitgespräch zwischen zwei möglichen Richtungen.

Yoyo Mtt.

The Riddle

Make you see, make you feel,
There is a voice in my head that speaks to me.
The voice in my head it speaks to me,
That there’s a choice on the left and the right you see.

Left I go, Right I go,
My mind feels so brittle my mind feels so slow.
Left I go, right I go,
My mind feels so brittle my mind feels so slow.

Go to the left the voice says to me,
There are new places adventures and people to see.
But go to the right, you won’t risk stability, maybe the left is beyond your ability.

Left I go, right I go
My mind feels so brittle my mind feels so slow.
Left I go, right I go
My mind feels so brittle my mind feels so slow.
Left I go, I am, right I go, I am
Stuck in the middle, I can’t solve the riddle.
Says left I go, right I go
My mind feels so brittle, my mind feels so slow.

Make you feel, make you see,
There is a voice in my head that speaks to me.
This voice in my head, it speaks to me,
of all the things I should do and the things I could be.

It says, come in quite close,
Feel the sobriety and hear all the words that I scream with anxiety.
Inside my head, it speaks to me,
Of all the things I should do and the things I should be.

It goes,
Welcome back into your brain, you cannot control the game,
This is my concept to be, this is an emergency.
You cannot hide, you cannot resist,
This opportunity it truly can’t be missed.
It says go left not the right or your life will be little,
But I see that you’re weak and you’re stuck in the middle.
It says stay on the right don’t be a fool,
Your body is too weak you shouldn’t use it as a tool.

Left I go, right I go,
My mind feels so brittle my mind feels so slow.
Left I go, right I go,
My mind feels so brittle my mind feels so slow.
Left I go, I am, right I go, I am,
Stuck in the middle I can’t solve the riddle.
Left I go, right I go
My mind feels so brittle, my mind feels so slow…
