Ein eher zufälliger Beitrag zur #metoo-Bewegung. Der Text entstand schon eine Weile vorher. Es geht um eine Frau, die in ihrer Jugend von einem Mann misshandelt wurde (offen bleibt, ob physisch oder psychisch). Sie leidet unter einem schweren Trauma - bis sie ihrem Peiniger wieder begegnet, dieser sie aber nicht erkennt. Ein Freund drängt sie dazu, den Misshandler bloßzustellen, damit sie das Trauuma überwinden kann.

You’re afraid of everything
You’re always full of grief
If I gave you a diamond ring
You would likely fear the thief
It’s lurking in the dark:
Desperate anxiety
Like some man-eating shark
Devouring you entirely
Come out of the darkness
You’re crying in the night
You’re yielding to despair
You’ve given up the fight
No longer do you care
About your precious life
Do not forsake yourself
Come on – you must revive
Reclaim your mental health!
Come out of the darkness
Bridge
There is something buried in you that is terrifying
A horrible experience you are denying
It happened in your past – I can see it in your eyes
You’ve been utterly aghast – please don’t tell me lies
Surely there's no virtue in suppressing memories
You will only be confused and feel ill at ease
Don’t you look away, face your demons and be brave
Sure enough you can defeat them and feel safe again
Finally you broke your silence and revealed the truth
You’ve been hurt so cruelly in your youth
Now I understand what you’ve been going through
Gone through hell but now you will be born anew
I will share your burden, I will help you stand your ground
Give you confidence and comfort, no you will not drown
I will share your burden, I will help you stand your ground
Give you confidence and comfort, no you will not drown
Behind that cheating mask
Of a well respected man
Your tormentor lives his life
Not atoning for your pain
He has forgotten you
Now he is unsuspecting
Strike him with all your force
When no-one will protect him
Come out of the darkness
Let him feel the fear you felt
Don’t let him get away
Confront him with his guilt
Right on his judgement day
Accuse him of his crime
Exposure, merciless
Now end his carefree time
And force him to confess
End
Come out of the darkness
Come out of the darkness
Come out of the darkness
Step into the light
Won’t you come out of the darkness?
And step into the light
You’re always full of grief
If I gave you a diamond ring
You would likely fear the thief
It’s lurking in the dark:
Desperate anxiety
Like some man-eating shark
Devouring you entirely
Come out of the darkness
You’re crying in the night
You’re yielding to despair
You’ve given up the fight
No longer do you care
About your precious life
Do not forsake yourself
Come on – you must revive
Reclaim your mental health!
