Filter
Filter was one of the first songs written for Launched. It was written when Steffi was still the band's drummer.
It was first played live all the way back during their 1997 tour, with a slightly different arrangement. They presumably played it at most concerts up until late 2002. It's last known performance was on 21st December 2002.
[Intro]
Without you
Without you
Without you nothing works
Without you
Without you
Without you days turn always black
[Verse 1]
You'll always be there for me
You let me know that I´m not alone
You push me up, you catch my fall
You make me feel there's nothing wrong
[Chorus]
What I try to say
Ain't nothing new but I mean it
This one is for you and I say thank you
You always bring my life
That special lovely balance
You are the big filter of my life
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I've been full of hate
Weakness, anger, frustration, sadness
The world drags me down
But you're around
You are the perfect drug
You're around
You are there and nothing sucks
[Bridge]
Tell me everything's gonna be alright
Tell me everything's gonna be alright
Tell me everything's gonna be alright
Is gonna be al-
[Outro]
What I try to say
Ain't nothing new but I mean it
This one is for you and I say thank you
You always bring my life
That special lovely balance
You are the big filter
You are the big filter
You are the big filter of my-
You are the big filter of my life
