„Wall“ - The topic of outer borders and inner walls. Felix Räuber dedicates himself to this socially relevant topic in this song using his own idiosyncratic style.
Freedom and conformity are personified as a child and an adult, represented by Felix. The childlike play qualities are being sacrificed symbolically on an altar, due to the constantly evolving boundaries and rules.
As the 'Wall' seems to become unconquerable, anger and hate fester and swell. However, the encounter between the creative child and the assumed superiority of the adult leads to forgiveness and reconciliation, and so the 'Wall' comes to fall.
The use of symmetry and the expressive symbolism acutely represented in the strict arrangement of the dominos, tells the story on a metaphoric layer and opens up a world of epic imagery.

LYRICS

So many times we failed before
can see your hopes collapsing in slow mo
It starts with a gleam
then trembles and dies off inevitably
We collected all wrong
done to us and piled it up high to be

a
wall wall wall wall

The birds of freedom have gone long ago
with every punch of our fists only hate seems to grow more to the sky
Till there´s nothing left but a world in a wall and knuckles that bleed,
How could it turn out like this when we just wanted to be, just wanted to be loved

wall wall wall wall

Looking for love
dreaming of mercy ….
And that the wall between us
would start, would start to fall

Dreaming of mercy
and tenderness inside
And that the wall between us
would start, would start to fallLYRICS

Can see your hopes collapsing in slow mo
It starts with a gleam
Then trembles and dies off inevitably

The birds of freedom have gone long ago
With every punch of our fists only hate seems to grow more to the sky
Till there´s nothing left but a world in a wall and knuckles that bleed,
How could it turn out like this when we just wanted to be, just wanted to be loved

Wall wall wall wall

Looking for love
Dreaming of mercy ….
And that the wall between us
Would start, would start to fall

Dreaming of mercy
And tenderness inside
And that the wall between us
Would start, would start to fall
