Wer Schön Sein Will Muss Leiden

Oomph!

Warum hast Du so große Augen?
Warum hast Du so straffe Haut?
Warum hast Du so große Brüste?
Warum bist Du so gut gebaut?

"Großmutter, Großmutter
warum bist Du noch so jung?"

Wer schön sein will muss leiden, mein Kind
Die Welt wird Dich beneiden, mein Kind
Weißt du nicht, wer seine Seele an die Hölle verkauft
wird immer jung sein, schön und schlank mit flachem Bauch
und ich weiß, dass willst Du auch

Warum hast Du so schlanke Beine?
Warum hast Du so volles Haar?
Warum hast Du so dicke Lippen?
Warum bist Du so sonderbar?

"Großmutter, Großmutter
warum bist Du noch so jung?"

Wer schön sein will muss leiden, mein Kind
Die Welt wird Dich beneiden, mein Kind
Weißt du nicht, wer seine Seele an die Hölle verkauft
wird immer jung sein, schön und schlank mit flachem Bauch
und ich weiß, dass willst Du auch

Hör mir zu
Wer schön sein will muss so viel Schmerz ertragen
drum schau mir bitte nicht ins Herz, mein Kind
Wer schön sein will muss viele Wunden haben
drum schau mir bitte nicht ins Herz

Weißt du nicht, wer seinen Körper in der Hölle bestellt
bleibt immer jung, hat viel Erfolg und schwimmt im Geld
und das ist es doch was zählt

Wer schön sein will muss leiden, mein Kind
Die Welt wird Dich beneiden, mein Kind
Weißt du nicht, wer seine Seele an die Hölle verkauft
wird immer jung sein, schön und schlank mit flachem Bauch

Wer schön sein will muss leiden

Weißt du nicht, wer seinen Körper in der Hölle bestellt
bleibt immer jung, hat viel Erfolg und schwimmt im Geld
und das ist es doch was zählt

    My Interpretation

    Translation:

    Why do you have such large eyes? Why do you have such smooth[lit. tight] skin? Why do you have such large breasts? Why are you so well-built?

    "Grandmother, Grandmother Why are you still so young?"

    Whoever wants to be beautiful must suffer, my child The world will envy you, my child Don't you know, whoever sells their soul to Hell Will be forever young, beautiful and slim with a flat belly And I know you want that too

    Why do you have such slim legs? Why do you have such full hair? Why do you have such thick lips? Why are you so strange?

    "Grandmother, Grandmother Why are you still so young?"

    Whoever wants to be beautiful must suffer, my child The world will envy you, my child Don't you know, whoever sells their soul to Hell Will be forever young, beautiful and slim with a flat belly And I know you want that too

    Listen to me Whoever wants to be beautiful must endure so much pain Do not look into my heart, my child Whoever wants to be beautiful must have so many wounds Do not look into my heart

    Whoever wants to be beautiful must suffer, my child The world will envy you, my child Don't you know, whoever sells their soul to Hell Will be forever young, beautiful and slim with a flat belly And I know you want that too

    Whoever wants to be beautiful must suffer, my child

    Don't you know, whoever orders their body in Hell Remains forever young, successful and is rolling in cash And that is what counts

    /Translation

    This is a song about how superficial and materialistic the world is.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
