Ich trag meine Vergangenheit mit mir rum wie Dreck
Unter den Nägeln und mein Tagebuch widert mich an
Ich zerreiß' alle Seiten und versuch zu vergessen,
dass ich dich nicht vergessen kann
Meine Gedanken häng' wie Trauerweiden in der Luft
Und die Schwalben fliegen wieder tief
Dann seh ich deine Silhouette am Horizont,
da war das Monster, das so lange schlief

Du tauchst in mein Leben
Und ich spür', wie es sticht
Wie all' meine Hoffnungen an den Worten zerbricht
Du tauchst in mein Leben
Schürst aufs Neue die Glut
Und meine älteste Narbe spuckt wieder Blut

Es tut wieder weh
Es tut wieder weh
Ich will raus hier
Doch ich weiß nicht wie
Es tut wieder weh
Es tut wieder weh
Und mein Stolz geht vor dir auf die Knie
Es tut wieder weh
Noch mit den Füßen im Feuer würd' ich schwörn'
es ging mir nie besser,
doch die Lüge ist kein Triumph
Ich verteidige mein Wort schon seit Jahren
bis aufs Messer
Doch das Messer wird mir langsam stumpf

Du tauchst in mein Leben
Und ich spür', wie es sticht
Wie all' meine Hoffnungen an den Worten zerbricht
Du tauchst in mein Leben
Schürst aufs Neue die Glut
Und meine älteste Narbe spuckt wieder Blut

Es tut wieder weh
Es tut wieder weh
Ich will raus hier
Doch ich weiß nicht wie
Es tut wieder weh
Es tut wieder weh
Und mein Stolz geht vor dir auf die Knie
Es tut wieder weh

Es tut wieder weh
Dieses Verlangen, das ich nicht ertrag
Es tut wieder weh
Es tut wieder weh
Und ich fühl' mich, wie am ersten Tag
Es tut wieder weh
Es tut wieder weh

Du tauchst in mein Leben
Und ich spür', wie es sticht
Wie all' meine Hoffnungen an den Worten zerbricht
Du tauchst in mein Leben
Schürst aufs Neue die Glut
Und meine älteste Narbe spuckt wieder Blut

Du tauchst in mein Leben
Und mein Leben wird kalt
Und deine Versprechen werden müde und alt
Du tauchst in mein Leben
Und ich spür', wie es sticht
Denn du siehst mich nicht
Oh, du siehst mich nicht

Es tut wieder weh
Es tut wieder weh
Ich will raus hier
Doch ich weiß nicht wie
Es tut wieder weh
Es tut wieder weh
Und mein Stolz geht vor dir auf die Knie
Es tut wieder weh

Es tut wieder weh
Dieses Verlangen, das ich nicht ertrag
Es tut wieder weh
Es tut wieder weh
Und ich fühl' mich, wie am ersten Tag
Es tut wieder weh
Es tut wieder weh
Es tut wieder weh
Es tut wieder weh
Es tut wieder weh
Es tut wieder weh
Und ich fühl mich, wie am ersten Tag
Es tut wieder weh

    I guess it's about a relationship that ended in a not-so-nice way or perhaps an unrequited love the singer tried very hard to forget about, but then the guy appears again and she remembers, and it hurts again - especially because her love interest still doesn't feel the way she does.

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.

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”

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.

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
