The Shelter 05:52
This is your home but someone has barred the door So you're locked out, forced to bear the raging storms And there's a hole in the fur that kept you warm An icy cold is creeping into your bones What do you think? What will you do? How do you feel? How do you do? You can deny and try to close your eyes 'Cause all is right when nothing wrong's in sight You can do so when you see: now's the time That your belief in mankind's on trial Each and every wrong is coupled with a choice: Cut or raise your voice Every blow you take is gnawing at the shell Which parts you from hell You cannot foresee the beast you might detect When the egg cracks Most of us are trying to keep it asleep Some indeed succeed - Yet that is no shelter from this chaos There is no shelter from this chaos There is a killer in everyone Maybe it's true: the human soul is cursed Well, it took half a year to write this verse And I have nothing to calm down those fears Only my trust into the universe

Odyssey 05:57
I slept under the moonraker While we waited for the solar winds to change Suddenly the mate cried: "star ahead!" And I awoke inside a ring of flames Fire - screaming - orders - action - out This situation wasn't new We just put the fire out and carried on This time we lost one man, no more Though I still hope we'll find our way home soon Still our ship is floating With a broken rudder This flight's becoming an endless odyssey Gone - we all miss her There's no chance to get back right now Long seems the distance To the day when we left her ground Earth - we miss your blue sky We miss your breath Useless are our celestial charts Because the navigator reads them upside down We've reached the point where logic fails And madness is the only solution Last barrel of water - We are so terribly thirsty With fading eyesight - I close the log The blind pilots are stumbling On through the great nothing Our journey's a more than hopeless odyssey Gone - we all miss her There's no chance to get back right now Long seems the distance To the day when we left her ground Earth - we miss your blue sky We miss your breath

We came from darkness into a light world The universe was a shiny place We were the kings of an immortal realm Yet we only ruled a golden cage Innocence Gave us wings - in a dream The kingdom fell in just one moment When we met mortality From that day on there was just one urge: We're trying to cope with dying Childhood ends When death breaks - into the mind She awakes and finds herself killing what we're seeking She's not real yet mightier than God and all His people But she can ease the grief and pain So I would gladly die again If I could bring her back this way My dead India Or whatever was her name We are the living The living dead We are the rulers of the real world In the end We'll be friends - or lovers at least She awakes and finds herself killing what we're seeking She's not real yet mightier than God and all His people But she can ease the grief and pain So I would gladly die again If I could bring her back this way My dead India She never told me her name We are the living dead

Sonne 05:26
Komm zu uns – Wir sind der Weg Folge uns – Das Ziel ist rot Alles muss heute klar verständlich sein Jeder muss diese Worte verstehn Denn Verständnis schafft Gemeinsamkeit Die uns hilft, in dieser Welt zu bestehn Komm zu uns, wir haben Zeichen (Wir sind der Weg) Gebrannt in unsre Stirn, und jedes zeigt den Weg, der Dich befreit Folge einfach diesen Zeichen (Das Ziel ist rot) Quer durch unser Hirn in eine Zeit der Selbstzufriedenheit Alles muss heute klar beschrieben sein Jeder muss den Zusammenhang sehn Denn Erkenntnis schafft Geborgenheit Nach der wir uns insgeheim alle sehnen Die Herzen schlagen Die Sonne leuchtet Der Himmel glüht Rot Komm zu uns wir haben Zeichen… Komm zu uns - Wir sind der Weg Folge der Zufriedenheit Das Ziel ist rot! Alles wird schon bald klar verständlich sein Jeder wird diese Worte verstehn Alles wird dann ganz klar beschrieben sein Jeder wird den Zusammenhang sehn

This love is hardly harmed, my heart It’s hard to hurt this love with words Woman of on-growing splendour take this gift It’s hard to hurt this love with words Please take this poor gift of mine Remember: beauty lies in the beholder’s eye Woman of splendour, woman of splendour Listen to me, woman - I know you know where beauty lies Beauty lies – beauty lies – beauty lies Without her doing just one little thing Woman of splendour took control Over my feelings and hormones What can I do? Woman of splendour - You’re such an adorable woman Your words sound so sweet though I don’t speak your language Woman of splendour - The most adorable woman Your thoughts seem so right though I cannot rethink them Woman of splendour - Please take this gift from me Woman of splendour - Please take this gift from me Take this gift from me - Take this gift from me Take this gift from me - Let me give it away to you Over our hearts shines a red-glowing star While our eternal souls are lost

A friend of mine just killed me and she did it with a smile She didn’t even notice how she stabbed the knife inside It drove into my stomach and then slit up to my heart A friend of mine just killed me and she did it with a laugh A friend of mine just killed me and she did it by the way In fact a row of thoughtless words was all she had to say A friend of mine just killed me and she did it with a smile That friend of mine just killed me and I think she did it right Too dead to carry on Yet too soon to loose this song This song A friend of mine just killed me and she did it with a smile A friend of mine just killed me and she did it with her sight The beauty in her cruelty pricked like needles in my eyes Barbs then pulled them out of their orbital cavities A good friend just killed someone and the one she killed was me A friend of mine just killed me and she did it by the way In truth there wasn’t that much left at all for her to slay A friend of mine just killed me and she did it with a smile That friend of mine keeps killing me as long as I’m alive Too dead to carry on Yet too soon to loose this song To there and further on - To where I don't belong I guess it's just her way - I guess it's just her way To smile at hopeful hearts - To drench the world in blood I guess it's just her way - I guess it's just her way Too soon to loose my song - Too dead to carry on I guess it's just her way - I guess it's just her way... to say hello A friend of mine just killed me She says hello A friend of mine just killed me Everything is said Everything is told it seems Everyone has heard now Noone's keen to suffer what i feel Everyone is sad Everybody cries with me Everyone who heard this Only she may wonder: "Is it me?" Is it my smile? Am I this knife? I'm just myself And I don't feel no guilt Everyday it hurts Everytime you speak to me Every single smile Smashes like a nail into my head You have my heart You are my knife And I need this pain And I need a friend Yes, I need this pain And I need nothing else I just need this pain And I need a friend

We’re nothing but travellers on our way home And space is a wide space to those who search We’re nothing but dreamers searching for the dream in being awake And space is a wide space Have you ever been to the seashores? (SALVATION LIES A HUNDRED MILES AWAY) Do you believe in a place of new hope? (SALVATION LIES A THOUSAND MILES AWAY) Have you ever heard of a cure for my disease? (SALVATION LIES A MILLION MILES AWAY) My disease is based on the belief that the world has failed It’s the mood of the day that makes me feel this way And the constant loss keeps the mood in me It’s a gleam of the city Sinatra sang of Enriched with the bitterness of a heroine pregnancy It’s all on our hands now - the guilt and the blood And space is a red space to those who yearn It’s all in our hands now and it will stigmatize our palms And space is a red space Have you ever been… We’re nothing but travellers - lost on our way home We’re nothing but dreamers searching for the dream in being alive And space is a weird place It’s the mood of the day that makes me feel this way… Salvation lies a hundred miles away Salvation lies a million miles away All is red now - oooh - all is red – all is red Because it’s you now – oooh – it is you clad in red All is red now - oooh - all is red – all is red All is you now

about

DruturuM SH, Germany

DruturuM is an experimental live music project by the Ohlsen brothers.

All material is publically performed max. 2 times - in the rehearsal room and on stage -, before it's never played again.

There are fluctuations in style and instrumentation, as well as in documentation and sound quality.

This is a low-budget operation.

All is fugacious.

The journey is its own reward.
