Ich stürze in den Spiegel aus Licht
Die Dunkelheit behagt mir nicht
Ich breche das Glas. So kalt es knistert
Wie es mir leise Worte zuflüstert
Und Splitter aus Erinnerungen
Die einst tief in mein Herz gedrungen
Und nur noch glimmten ach so schwach
Werden plötzlich wieder wach

In tiefstem Nebel nun versunken
Den kalten Wintersturm beschworen
Ist mir das Herz vollends gefroren
Erloschen alle Lebensfunken
Den Kelch der Weisheit ausgetrunken
Der viele Jahre lag versteckt
Und seit langem ungeweckt
Das Schicksal nun herbei gewunken
Die Zeit scheint für mich still zu stehn
Der Wind mich langsam weiterweht
Obwohl die Welt sich weiterdreht
Will ich nicht mehr mit ihm gehn
In Ewigkeit gefangen
Wird Wirklichkeit zur Illusion
Und Wissen sprengt die Dimension
Ich bin zu weit gegangen

Stille. Ich höre längst nichts mehr
Alles scheint so grau und leer
Trostlos nun das Antlitz der Welt
Nichts mehr, was mir noch an ihr gefällt
Ich hab vergessen, wie ihre Schönheit schmeckt
Wenn sie wieder etwas Neues weckt
Doch mit meinem ganzen Wissen
Werd ich jeglich Neues missen

In tiefstem Nebel nun versunken
Den kalten Wintersturm beschworen
Ist mir das Herz vollends gefroren
Erloschen alle Lebensfunken
Den Kelch der Weisheit ausgetrunken
Der viele Jahre lag versteckt
Und seit langem ungeweckt
Das Schicksal nun herbei gewunken
Die Zeit scheint für mich still zu stehn
Der Wind mich langsam weiterweht
Obwohl die Welt sich weiterdreht
Will ich nicht mehr mit ihm gehn
In Ewigkeit gefangen
Wird Wirklichkeit zur Illusion
Und Wissen sprengt die Dimension
Ich bin zu weit gegangen

Ich will zurück und folge stur
Meiner Erinnerungen Spur
Bis schwarzer Nebel mich umringt
Und tief in meine Seele dringt
Den Schleier des Vergessens bringt
Und mit mir aus dem Spiegel springt
Meine Augen spiegeln wieder die Welt
Zeigen was sie verborgen hält

In tiefstem Nebel nun versunken
Den kalten Wintersturm beschworen
Ist mir das Herz vollends gefroren
Erloschen alle Lebensfunken
Den Kelch der Weisheit ausgetrunken
Der viele Jahre lag versteckt
Und seit langem ungeweckt
Das Schicksal nun herbei gewunken

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.

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.

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.
