Ich lieg' im Schmutz mit dem Gesicht nach unten,
schwere Männerhände greifen mich auf.
Ich wurde erwischt, meine Botschaft gefunden.
So nimmt denn die Geschichte ungehindert ihren Lauf!

Hinter den Reihen fremder Mächte führte
mich meine Reise, die geheime Mission
um ihren Aufmarsch, Heimlichkeiten zu erkunden.
Das Volk zu beschützen ist mein grösster Lohn!

Doch von Beginn: dunkle Gestalten trieben
sich in den Städten heimlich nachts umher.
Dunkle Mäntel, grosse schwarze Kapuzen -
was haben die vor, wo kommen die her?

Ist das ein Anschlag von der dunklen Gilde?
Wer gab den Auftrag, wer ist das Ziel der Aktion?
Wird das ein Krieg? Wer kann die Antwort finden?
Sie brauchten mich fragten...

... ihren Spion auf Geheimmission.
... ihren Spion auf Geheimmission.

Bin unterwegs in fremden Landen,
meistens verkleidet, dadurch unerkannt!
Seit sie mich zum Spion ernannten,
bin ich wie ein bunter Hund im Land bekannt!

Bin unterwegs in fremden Landen,
meistens verkleidet, dadurch unerkannt!
Seit sie mich zum Spion ernannten,
bin ich wie ein bunter Hund im Land bekannt!

Bin der Spion auf Geheimmission.
Bin der Spion auf Geheimmission.

Werde hoch gerissen, meine Augen mir verbunden,
werde fortgeführt und in Verliese gesperrt.
Ich werde gefoltert um zu erkunden,
wem ich wohl diene, wem ich angehör...

Doch kann ich fliehen, denn ohne Vorsicht war ihr handeln.
Sie suchten überall verzweifelt und lang,
begriffen nie, warum sie mich nicht mehr fanden,
als ich in den Burggraben sprang!

Bin der Spion auf Geheimmission.
Bin der Spion auf Geheimmission.

Bin unterwegs in fremden Landen,
meistens verkleidet, dadurch unerkannt!
Seit sie mich zum Spion ernannten,
bin ich wie ein bunter Hund im Land bekannt!

Bin unterwegs in fremden Landen,
meistens verkleidet, dadurch unerkannt!
Seit sie mich zum Spion ernannten,
bin ich wie ein bunter Hund im Land bekannt!

Bin der Spion auf Geheimmission.
Bin der Spion auf Geheimmission.

Bin der Spion auf Geheimmission.
Bin der Spion auf Geheimmission.
Bin der Spion auf Geheimmission.
Bin der Spion...

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
