Viel zu oft beherrschte mich die Angst vorm Fallen
Nur einmal wollte ich erneuert sein
Viel zu lang hielt die Furcht mich in den Krallen
Supernova, dies gehört mir ganz allein

Viel zu lang ließ ich mich von euch verbiegen
Schon so lang tobt der Wunsch in meinem Blut
Nur einmal laß ich los, denn ich will Fliegen
Supernova wie der Phoenix aus der Glut

Komm mir nicht zu nahe, sonst kann's geschehen
Daß wir beide lichterloh in Flammen stehen

Ich will brennen, ich will brennen
Auch wenn danach nur kalte Asche übrig ist
Ich will brennen, ich will brennen
Selbst wenn do meinen Namen morgen schon vergißt
Heißes Licht I'm Himmelsflug
Mit dem letzten Atemzug will ich brennen
Ich will brennen

Viel zu oft bestimm ich nicht mein eigenes Leben
Nur einmal will ich zum Himmel schreien
Nur einmal will ich hoch zur Sonne schweben
Supernova, und mich von mir selbst befreien

Komm mir nicht zu nah, sonst kann's geschehen
Daß wir beide lichterloh in Flammen stehen

Ich will brennen, ich will brennen
Auch wenn danach nur kalte Asche übrig ist
Ich will brennen, ich will brennen
Selbst wenn do meinen Namen morgen schon vergißt
Heißes Licht I'm Himmelsflug
Mit dem letzten Atemzug will ich brennen
Ich will brennen

Berühr mich lieber nicht, es hat keinen Zweck
Sonst reißt der Strom aus Feuer dich noch mit mir weg
Bleib mir lieber fern, weil es sonst überspringt
Und weil das Fieber auch in deine Seele dringt
Faß mich nicht an, sonst kann's passieren
Daß wir uns in der Hitze dieser Nacht verlieren

Komm mir nicht zu nah, sonst kann's geschehen
Daß wir beide lichterloh in Flammen stehen

Ich will brennen, ich will brennen
Auch wenn danach nur kalte Asche übrig ist
Ich will brennen, ich will brennen
Selbst wenn do meinen Namen morgen schon vergißt
Heißes Licht I'm Himmelsflug
Mit dem letzten Atemzug will ich brennen
Ich will brennen

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.

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”

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
