„Nur eine Stimme“ ist ein Song über Nächte, in denen man zu viel denkt und zu viel sagt. Über Gespräche ohne Gesichter, Nähe ohne Gewissheit und das Gefühl, vielleicht mehr zu sein, als jemand tragen kann. Für alle, die sich schon mal gefragt haben, ob sie zu laut, zu offen oder einfach zu viel sind – obwohl sie eigentlich nur gehört werden wollten. Lyrics: I know your voice, but hardly your face Don't know what you look like when you really laugh We hang out for hours somewhere between Midnight, energy drinks, and the noise in the chat You talk so calmly, I get loud Fill pauses you don't even need And every time I say too much I wonder if it actually bothers you I pause for a moment, hear myself And wonder if I'm being too much right now You're a voice in the night and I don't know how much space I'm allowed to take up I talk too much, feel too heavy I'm afraid that at some point I'll get too close to you without realizing it Tell me, are you really listening to me or are you just letting me talk until I calm down? I stay awake just so I don't do anything wrong because I don't want to be the one who was too much I know a photo, nothing more, of you A still image that doesn't explain much to me Maybe you're completely different in real life Maybe I'm just better at interpreting things You ask me questions, but never too deep And I still fall a little too far into them I tell you things I would otherwise keep to myself And then I think: Was that too much from me? I read between your short sentences and find more doubts than answers there You're a voice in the night and I don't know how much space I'm allowed to have I talk too much, feel too heavily I'm afraid that at some point I'll get too close to you without realizing it Tell me, are you really listening to me or are you just letting me talk until I calm down? I stay awake just so I don't do anything wrong because I don't want to be the one who was too much Maybe I don't expect anything, but I think too much Maybe you're only here because it suits you right now And I try to make myself smaller So I don't stand out, don't burden you Sometimes I wish you would say When it gets too much, when I leave But your silence leaves me with only my questions And I stand still while you move on You're a voice in the night and I don't know if you really notice me I don't say everything that's inside me because I'm afraid it will overwhelm you I hold back as best I can but I'm not good at being less And maybe in the end, all that will remain of me is the one who talked too much to a voice in the night Nami24 - Only one vote Artist: Selene Starcrest
