about

This song is about my home town erfurt where I grew up. It's actually an old song that I originally wrote in 2008 but I never really liked how it turned out. Now in 2022 I re-wrote most of the lyrics and changed the genre.
The lyrics paint a picture of me revisiting all the places where I used to hang out when I was young and how much almost everything changed. Kinda like a blast from the past which by the way was the original title for this song. The music video has some interesting old school footage of me and the city of erfurt.

lyrics

oh!
here we go
here we go
come on
come on

I'll take the former 6 tram right through the city
destination is direction south
straight up to the meadow hill yeah
but something's changed without a doubt
seems like everyone disappeared
I wonder if my old buddies still live here
outta sight outta mind
so what the fuck happened to the good old time? oh!

back home
back home
and I hear the city screaming

and as I cross the street of liberation
that's my hood where grew up
the 56 that was my number but
nowadays this place is fucked
as I walk along the streets
the cracks in the sidewalk retrace my memories
something's comin' through my mind
paintings of those carefree times

back home
back home
and I hear the city screaming

e-town city

and since I look back at my younger self and
I recall all my yesteryears yeah
can't deny it's a fucking dead end but I've
been connected to this city 40 years
so it's gonna show everywhere I go
home is where the heart is oh don't you know?
it's been way too long to consider coming back
but my love for this city remains and is still in-fuckin-tact!

back home
back home
and I hear the city screaming

yo!
what a trip down memory lane
here in my hometown e-town city
yeah Alex Hellcat on the meadow hill
oh!
