about

'Faintly reminiscent of Tom Petty's more idiosyncratic work, 'Out Of My Shell' is one of the most interesting pop rock creations we've
encountered ‑ kudos to Atomic Picnic Project!'

Why "Out of my shell"?

It is that outer image that I’ve patched together from all of the messages I’ve absorbed about who I “should” be, what people expect of me, what I have to be in order to be accepted and loved. And it’s a hard shell! For a long time, it served me – it protected me. Over the last couple of years, I started noticing those spaces. So that is when I started searching, going deeper, introducing myself to my self. I’ve courted that self. I’ve gotten curious, asked questions, spent time sitting silently and just listening for the feelings that can’t be put into words without losing their meaning.
Now I sit at this new boundary – struggling and trying to learn how to “be” that authentic person in interaction with this world. With one hand, I hold tight to the hand of that inner self – with the other hand, I’m grasping. I’m reaching, struggling, sometimes grabbing impatiently. And, so often, it hurts – it doesn’t work, I’m uncertain, I’m afraid, and I pull back into my shell again. I know I want to be me now, all of the time! I know I want to look in the mirror every day and see myself looking back without judgement.
How to make a leap of faith into a life full of adventures, new exciting things, happiness and fun? Where do we begin this journey in order to liberate ourselves from our own loving shells? The answer seems easy: become happier and less upset; change your mood from bad to good; stop thinking about your sadness and start thinking about positive things; stop being withdrawn; open your heart and mind to life; stop being insecure; stop being shy; become more confident; become the one you always wanted to be!

lyrics

Out of my shell (Music: H. Treichel, Klaus Bader/Lyrics: H. Treichel, 2015)

1. I close my eyes and dream about the day
Free to sing and dance like a bird
Coming alive and never alone
What will happen, no one can tell.

2. I better go back into my shell.
And wonder when I am going to break out.
I’m trapped inside, I can’t understand
And wonder where my wonderland lies.
Dry my tears and open my eyes
The shell is cracking the answer is here!

I really broke my shell!
And I am going to break free.
I really broke my shell.
And be the one I wanted to be.

Solo

I really broke my shell!
And I am going to break free.

I really broke my shell.
And be the one I wanted to be.

I really broke my shell!

I really broke my shell!

I really broke my shell!

I really broke my shell!

I really broke my shell!
