Falscher Heiland

Subway To Sally

Wir haben die Tage mit Beten verbracht
Wir flehten zu Dir in jeder Nacht
Dein Wort vor den Augen dein Bild an der Wand
Gedruckt und verbreitet im ganzen Land

Du hast Uns verraten, verkauft und verlacht
Hast niemals ein Wunder für Uns vollbracht
Es gibt nur noch Rache für deinen Betrug
Es gibt kein Erbarmen genug ist genug

Du bist der falsche Heiland
Dein ist der jüngste Tag
Wir singen und wir tanzen
Und pinkeln auf dein Grab
Halleluja falscher Heiland

Du hast Uns gepredigt und Lehren erteilt
Hast niemals die Lahmen und Blinden geheilt
Hast Reichtum versprochen hast Lügen erzählt
Und hast Uns mit heiligen Liedern gequält

Im Glauben an Dich zogen Wir in den Krieg
Dort sind wir gefallen Es gab keinen Sieg
Es gibt nur noch Rache für deinen Betrug
Es gibt kein Erbarmen genug ist genug

Du bist der falsche Heiland
Dein ist der jüngste Tag
Wir singen und wir tanzen
Und wir pinkeln auf Dein Grab
Halleluja falscher Heiland

Wir werden Dich suchen mit Engelsgeduld
Wir werden Dich finden, Du zahlst die Schuld
Es gibt nur noch Rache für deinen Betrug
Es gibt kein Erbarmen genug ist genug

Halleluja falscher Heiland
Du bist der falsche Heiland
Dein ist der jüngste Tag
Wir singen und wir tanzen
Und wir pinkeln auf dein Grab

    Ahem. Isn't there a more obvious "false savior" in not-so-ancient german history, whose word (book) and portrait were printed and distributed all over the land, who sent all the people into a war without victory, and who is now dead (so his grave can be pissed on)? So I'd read "halelujah, falscher Heiland" as an ironical "Heil Hitler": "Heil Hitler, we piss on your grave and have a good time".

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”

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Album art
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
