Der Titelsong meines gleichnamigen Albums. Er handelt von einer Person, die ihre Höhenangst mit einer Ballonfahrt überwindet. Lead vocal: Nikolas Mews.
Took my umbrella with me as a makeshift parachute
Although it won’t slow down my rate of fall
Insane to meet this challenge in a silly jumpsuit
Riding the balloon
Escape reaction came too late, so I am trapped here
This small nacelle is like an anteroom of hell
I feel so sick, I feel so queer, my heart is jumping
Riding the balloon
“Face all your fears, you’ll overcome
The demons inside”, the doctor replied
Over and over again
The clouds nearby are looming high
The sun is near on the bluish sphere
My mouth is dry, cannot deny
I’m terrified, I could easily die
The gaping void beneath my soles
Will soon destroy all my breath control
Where is my oxygen flask?
He said I’m strong enough to do it
Now I am here feeling terribly weak
He said it’s safe, I really shouldn’t worry
What if this sack of gas will spring a leak?
What if the envelope’s seams will tear apart?
What if the burner fails to blow? Oh no!
This fragile bubble could collapse
And crash into the ground below
I don’t know
Nothing has happened so far, I am still alive
My breath calms down a bit, I feel much better
It’s almost beautiful to fly and dive the skies
Riding the balloon
The sight is grand, I see an eagle passing by
Green hills and hedges, and a lake reflects the sky
My fears are gone, and I enjoy the lovely flight
Riding the balloon
I’ve faced my fears, I’ve knocked them down
The demons inside, they are defeated
Now I feel so free
