about

After "Fucked Up Generation" the Indie Rock band from Nuremberg release their new song "A Bad Place To Be". It's about the emotional world of constantly comparing your own life to the lives of others, which is especially reinforced by social media. The perfect anthem for moments when we're under the pressure of our environment and want to escape from it all with music. It's a little softer than their last song, has a melody that stays in your head and a midtempo beat accompanied by a guitar and soft piano sounds.

lyrics

I need reasons to explain
those colors in my brain,
Your lovely words and the rain.
I try to wake myself
I’m the sadness on the couch
until i finally figure it out

I am living in the past
You’re running much too fast
I wonder, if you ever looking back?

And where are you now?
And how does it feel like?
Remember
Say, how are you now?
When the kids are around you - uuhh When the kids are around you - uuhh

A friend in need is a friend indeed I see you tend to disagree
I think we’re not so different
I wonder what we could be
If you made some space for me
If you made me feel less like a memory

I am living in the past
You’re running much too fast
I wonder, if you ever looking back?

when everybody is drowning all around when nothing comes to surface anymore You throw your life away your fkn life away
Do you feel free?
and everybody is sinking to the ground and nothing ever happens anymore
I throw myself in your way, in your way
If that’s okay?

And where are you now?
And how does it feel like?
Remember
Say, how are you now?
When the kids have moved out, now - uuhh And the colors gray out, now - uuhh
Your friends stop to care, now - uhhh And the colors gray out, now - uuhh
