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
