Over You 03:14
OVER YOU (2013) VERSE 1 You should stop calling me ‚Cause it always ends up in the same situation You scream and shout at me Calling me names and you want me to change Your instability is stressing me terribly No more pretending I’ll put an end to it BRIDGE So where will you go When you need someone to talk to? In whose arms will you find shelter when you cry? You haven’t lost me Just for this moment You’ve lost me forever And I don’t want to you back! CHORUS I try to bury the past Deep down in the ground And all my memories of you You made me sick and restless So they go With all the shit you put me through It is over and you are over, too And soon I’ll be over you VERSE 2 No, just stop! No more excuses Yes, you totally blew it! I’ve had enough You’re ahead of your own game Where I’m the one who gets the blame BRIDGE You should feel ashamed of what you brought me into The way you treat me makes my heart bleed so You haven’t lost me Just for the moment You’ve lost me forever And I don’t want to you back! 2x CHORUS And I’m just so over you

Rescue Me 03:38
RESCUE ME (2013) VERSE 1 I’m alone, everybody’s gone I’m standing here on my bare feet Waiting for you I want you to come here and rescue me It’s getting cold and my heart needs your love desperately CHORUS Everyone just lies Everyone just lies Everyone just lies Everyone just lies VERSE 2 They made up a real good show A cruel world where thieves and fools come and go But they won’t infiltrate my heart and soul I know what real love feels like And when it’s feigned after all CHORUS C-PART I’m standing on the edge of a darkened sky The world turns grey before my eyes I feel so betrayed and broken inside Who can I trust in this crazy world? I’m on my knees It’s you I see... I need you to come here and rescue me And I try to breathe CHORUS
3.
HOLDING ME BACK (2018) VERSE 1 Something’s holding me back From living the moment Got many things to check To bear in mind Prepare the fleet Or you fall behind Sailing on a ship with no specific shore to reach And yet the voice inside my head keeps telling me CHORUS Stay in line, make it better Enjoy your time, work on it ‚Cause it matters Focus on what you wanna reach You have everything you need And though I really want it Something is holding me back VERSE 2 For sure this world Can be so confusing You think you’re in control And then you lose it You need to let it out Defeat your doubts Release these walls around your heart Free yourself from what you already know And just let go CHORUS C-PART There’ll be bricks in your way That you wanna get rid of Don’t overstress and give into your fears Don’t let it become your weakness Take time to reflect Just be yourself Stay in line, make it better Enjoy your time, work on it ‚Cause it matters CHORUS ... And now that I really want it Nothing is holding me back (Nothing’s gonna hold me back)
4.
Pressure 04:09
PRESSURE (2013) VERSE 1 I feel some kind of pressure Running through my veins And it makes me go insane I feel a certain anger Rising in my blood And I’ve surely had enough CHORUS And I cry in the night Come alive or die inside VERSE 2 I feel a certain tension It makes my gut wince in pain My self-control’s about to break It is more than I can take There is some kind of madness Taking over my mind And I’m about to lose this fight CHORUS VERSE 3 I feel some kind of pressure Running a shiver down my spine There’s no chance for me to hide And I’m about to lose this fight Don’t wanna give into it CHORUS
5.
BETTER-BROKEN HEART (2013) VERSE 1 It’s torture Every single thought I waste on you Hoped you’d appear at my doorstep From the start I knew you would never do BRIDGE 1 In my dreams When you’re lying next to me I breath you in, I feel your touch upon my skin What I’m supposed to do? When I’m trying hard to fall out of love with you? CHORUS It’s better when my heart gets broken now The sooner it will heal We’ll leave the saving words unspoken now – this time And seal the deal for real I know that I can’t have you And I don’t know if you love me the way I do It’s better when my heart gets broken now VERSE 2 It’s torture For so long I haven’t heard from you And I wonder If you ever felt the way I do BRDIGE 2 I won’t chase you, Mr. Butterfly It’s a race I’ll lose everytime I try Just having a piece of your heart won’t do All I want is you 2x CHORUS C-PART My endeavours to hate you Completely fell through It failed all along the line If someone’s promising things He doesn’t intend to keep I won’t give in this time 2x CHORUS It’s better when my heart gets broken now
6.
On the Run 04:03
ON THE RUN (2013) It’s not what I want It’s not what I want VERSE 1 I’m on the run from you I’m on the run I’m running faster and faster And faster and faster And faster I’m on the run From the person I’ve become Because of you I’m on the run And I try to get away As fast as I can CHORUS I’m a mess Defiant and frustrated This is the wrong lane I’m going insane I’m a lier ‚Cause I’m doing all the things I said I hated VERSE 2 I’m on the run from it all I’m on the run From myself and the wall That I’ve built around my heart I kept denying My own truth and desires That’s not how it’s supposed to be Running from this misery I’ll get rid of the wrong identity That I’ve created 2x CHORUS OUTRO I’m on the run I’m on the run from it I’m on the run from it from it all
7.
Winter 04:29
WINTER (2013) VERSE 1 Softly creaking under my soles Wandering through a land covered in snow You have left me somewhere on the road I start feeling unbearably cold BRIDGE I wonder where you’ve gone And wonder what went wrong I’m not as strong as you might think But you’ve moved on CHORUS Life without you’s like winter And my heart lies in chains of ice All you’ve left is a splinter The further we move apart The stronger it bites VERSE 2 How could I think that we’re happy When we watched the stars at night Your heart wasn’t steady And our stars turned dark in the sky BRIDGE CHORUS C-PART No more going back to the past And the lands we used to live in They are all veiled in myst and rain So I’m keeping my distance The headwinds are too strong I’m moving on It’s out of control I let it all go, so that you know CHORUS Life without you felt like winter But my heart broke these chains of ice I pulled out the splinter Now the stars are guiding me home tonight
8.
Home 04:43
HOME (2013) VERSE 1 I was weary, I’m lost But now I’m home I feel restless and I’m broken But now I’m home I am tired, I am weak But now I’m home I am empty and I’m afraid But now I’m home CHORUS Here I am All my life I’ve been seeking for a place where I feel safe All the evil thoughts will fade away And I’ll see things with the eyes of a new-born child VERSE 2 I felt unsure and insecure about myself So many people wanted me to be someone else I am scared of the unknown A distorted reality I can’t cope with Don’t wanna spend this life in chains And overcome this fear and pain CHORUS OUTRO I feel relieved and I’m at ease When I’m home Don’t want to go This is where I belong I’m happy, I’m real And I’m free Nowhere else in this world Where I’d rather be

about

We all know it…the fear of being trapped in an endless loop. BREAKING THE CYCLE is a liberation strike that treats this very issue:

A toxic relationship that you finally end (Over You). The fear of failure that you finally face (Holding Me Back), as well as social and internal pressure (Pressure) - or you eventually understand that your love for another person remains unrequited (Better-Broken Heart).

Likewise, we shouldn’t mourn a painful past relationship (Winter) and must break free from the shackles of the self-created soulless alter ego we have built because of it (On the Run). Never wait for someone to save you, it might be in vain - make sure you can always trust in yourself (Rescue Me).

Lyn Conary closes the album with a hopeful piano ballad (Home). In this song she describes the feeling of arriving back home in a calm and safe place after all the wanderings and pain she went through.

Conary's fourth studio album is - like her first and second LP - completely self-made. The musician wrote seven of the eight songs back in 2013 and produced them within 2 years in her own home studio. The album was mastered by Attila Tapolczai (NHR New Home Recordings, Augsburg, Germany). The artwork on the album cover, digitally reworked by Lyn, was originally painted by the German artist Loni Steel.
