Verse 1
We hung around on cold walls
Cigarettes, dreams way too big
No plan, just open ends
But we believed: This is how it starts
Guitars screamed from small speakers
The sky was made of electricity and gasoline
Every mistake was allowed
We didn't know what tomorrow would bring
Pre-Chorus
The world was heavy, but we were light
No net, no filter, no going back
We had nothing – and that was enough
A heart full of rage, a piece of happiness
Chorus
🎸 Back then the night was still loud
We had fire in our veins
Time was something you stole
And we burned without mercy
Yes, we believed in ourselves
And in every next dream
Back then the night was still loud
And time stood still in the room
Verse 2
Today we talk about the past
With a smile that also hurts
Too many scars, too much effort
But I still feel them – the hits in my heart
The Streets are full of lights now
But something's quieter today
Maybe we're just older
Or maybe we were braver together
Pre-Chorus
No replay for what was
But I still hear the song clearly
When I close my eyes and fall
I'm everywhere again
Chorus
🎸 Back then the night was still loud
No fear of losing
We believed in ourselves
And nothing could freeze us
Yes, we believed in ourselves
More than in reason and plans
Back then the night was still loud
Until morning burned us
Bridge (quieter, then build-up)
Maybe not everything was real
Maybe not everything was wise
But none of it was ever bad
Because it kept us alive – enough
(Guitar solo – long, singing, with lots of sustain)
Final Chorus (bigger, higher)
🎸 Back then the night was still loud
And the sky Much too close
We stole time from each other
And made today out of it
If I fall, I'll catch myself
With the echo of back then
Because the night is never completely still
When you carry it in your heart
Outro
Yes…
time passes…
but the song remains.
