Ich sitze im Kino meines Lebens
Alle Plätze sind belegt
Mein Platz ist nur ein Notsitz
Zuviele Menschen sind heute hier
Das Licht geht aus - der Film beginnt
Erinnerungen steigen wieder auf
Längst Vergangenes wird wieder Gegenwart
Ein fremdes Ich glotzt mir ins Gesicht
Ich blicke in die Menge
Das ganze Kino lacht
Ein krüppel treibt in den Fluten
Mir wird schlecht
Ich schäme mich
Ein von gestern geprägtes Heute
Ich erinnere mich an damals
Die Frage um Leben und Tod
Heute weiss ich die Antwort
Damals nicht - Ich habe falsch entschieden
Und wieder lachte das Kino
Ich stehe auf und stürze hinaus
Ich muss mich übergeben
Der Hass schlägt auf
Werden sie mich im Licht erkennen ?
Werden sie auch dann noch lachen ?
Wieso gehen sie nicht alle nach Hause ?
Es ist doch nur mein ganz privates Leben
Ich komme zurück, mein Platz ist besetzt
Ich setze mich still auf den Boden
Ich will schliesslich sehen, was mit mir passiert
Ich kenne meinen Sinn noch nicht
Ich hoffe nur, ich sterbe rasch
Damit ich die Demut nicht mehr ertragen muss
Es tut mir leid, wenn mein Leben jemanden störte
Doch gab es einen Film, den sie mochten
Der Film zeigt meinen Tod
Endlich darf auch ich mal lachen
Doch tausend Augen drehen sich herum
Und blicken mir entsetzt entgegen

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
