Mein Kartenhaus ist wieder eingestürzt
Weil der Wind von mehr als einer Seite kam
All die Farben sind jetzt übermalt
Mir bleibt ein schwarzes Loch und eine Hand
Wenn ich sie hebe, wird sie schwer wie bleibt
Oder sie fängt an, etwas neues zu bauen
Ich weiss, ich könnte, wenn ich wollte
Doch wollen können kann ich nicht
Mir fehlt der Mut mich zu trauen
Hinter mir zerschmettert Glas und Porzellan
Vor mir zerspringt der Spiegel
In dem ich mich sonst sehen kann
Und ich steh' bebend mitten drin
Aber noch lebend mitten drin
Zwischen den Scherben - wohin?
Ich mach' die Augen zu und lasse mich fallen
Ich hoffe, jemand fängt mich auf
Ich dreh' mich I'm Kreis mit verbundenen Augen
Bis mir jemand die Richtung zeigt
Do bist da und streichst mir übers Haar
Do fängst mich auf wie warmer, weicher Sand
Do beatmest mich mit allem, was do bist
Ich spür' die Kraft zurück in meiner Hand
Wenn ich dich so spüre
Dann kommt die Welt zum Steh'n
Mit dir zusammen könnt' ich
Barfuss durchs Scherbenmeer gehen
Und die Wunde heilt mit der Zeit
Doch do und ich erleben zu zweit
Trotz aller Scherben zu zweit
Ich mach' die Augen zu und lasse mich fallen
Ich weiss, do fängst mich auf
Ich dreh' mich I'm Kreis mit verbundenen Augen
Bis do mir die Richtung zeigst
Do machst die Augen zu und lässt dich fallen
Und do weisst, ich fang' dich auf
Do drehst dich I'm Kreis mit verbundenen Augen
Bis ich dir die Richtung zeig'
Do machst die Augen zu und lässt dich fallen
Und do weisst, ich fang' dich auf
Do drehst dich I'm Kreis mit verbundenen Augen
Bis ich dir die Richtung zeig'
Mach' die Augen zu und lass dich fallen
Mach' die Augen zu und lass dich fallen
Mach' die Augen zu und lass dich fallen

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"

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”

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.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
