Viele Menschen schrecken zurück wenn sie „Geschichte“ hören
Geschichte
Vier langweilige Stunden pro Woche in der Schule
Oder was, das lange her ist oder immer ohne einen passiert

1973, Geburtsjahr
Wichtig für mich als auch geschichtlich
Denn da wurde klar, dass die CIA 'ne Hure war
Chile, Attentat, viele Tote, Allende starb
Tragisch da tragender Mann der unidad popular
C.I.A., Chile ist amerikanisch
Victor Jara sang auf spanisch, seine Stimme mahnt dich
Vergiss' die Toten nicht, vergiss' die Diktaturdespoten nicht
1973
Meine Mutter presste, gebahr und liebt mich
Trägt mich an der Brust, stillt und wiegt mich
Indes 'ne Mutter mit Sohn in Kambodscha den Schuss zu spät sah
Er wär' wie ich jetzt dreiundzwanzig

You're just a part of it
So get to the heart of it
'Cause if you don't go
You won't know
You're just a part of it
So get to the heart of it
'Cause if you don't go
You're never ever, never ever gonna know

Ich war ein ABC-Schütze in der Zeit um '80
Man las von ABC-Geschützen in der Zeitung, ein Streit entfacht sich
Und Europa gewählt als Schlachtfeld um die Macht auf der Welt
Euer Opa dacht' vielleicht an „damals“ als auch er sich auf die Straße stellt
'83, Angst macht sich breit, drei Jahre später Tschernobyl
Seveso sowieso, weh' dem, der noch Atomstrom will
Kennt ihr die Bilder der missbildeten Babys durch Chemie?
Kennt ihr die Villen der Millionäre aus der Industrie?
Wir spielten draußen Fußball als der erste Regen kam
Es ist ein Zufall, dass wir aus 'ner anderen Gegend waren?
Ich denk' an Kurdistan, Halaba, in mir bricht 'was
Nach 'nem halben Jahrhundert tötet wieder deutsches Giftgas

You're just a part of it
So get to the heart of it
'Cause if you don't go
You won't know
You're just a part of it
Get to the heart of it
'Cause if you don't go
You're never ever, never ever gonna know

Wir war'n 18achtzehn, Antifas mit Intifada-Schal und Armyparka
Andi war's, der in der Nacht an die Wand in der Schule malte
Nein, gemeint die Intervention im Irak
Die in der Tat viele Menschen mit dem Leben zahlten
Andi sei Kroate, der sein Land verrate, meint sein Vater
Weil er lieber sprühte als an Handgranaten töten übte
Nur unsere Herzen glühten für die Riots in US-Städten
Uns're Wunderkerzen glühten für Asyl auf Lichterketten
Und als ob sie's wichtig hätten, unter uns die Brandstifter auf Wählerfang
Ich weiss was Tracy Chapman für Mandela sang
"Talkin' 'bout the revolution"
Leg' dein Ohr auf die Schiene der Geschichte

You're just a part of it
So get to the heart of it
'Cause if you don't go
You won't know
You're just a part of it
So get to the heart of it
'Cause if you don't go
You're never ever, never ever gonna know

Anything is connected to anything
Is connected to anything, is connected to anything
'Cause you is all and all is you
Is you is all is all is you is all
Anything, anything, anything

You're just a part of it
So get to the heart of it
'Cause if you don't go
You won't know
You're just a part of it
Get to the heart of it
'Cause if you don't go
You're never ever, never ever, never ever gonna know

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.

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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
