Die Wellen

Was soll ich jetzt mit euch, ihr Wellen, ihr
Die ihr euch nie entscheiden könnt
Ob ihr die ersten oder letzten seid?
Die Küste wollt ihr definieren
Mit eurem ständigen Gewäsch
Sie zisilieren mit eurem Kommen, eurem Gehen
Und doch weiss niemand wie lang
Die Küste wirklich ist
Wo das Land aufhört, das Land beginnt
Denn ständig ändert
Ihr die Linie, Länge, Lage
Mit dem Mond und unberechenbar

Beständig nur ist eure Unbeständigkeit

Siegreich letztendlich, denn sie höhlt
Wie oft beschworen steine, mahlt den Sand
So fein wie Stundengläser
Eieruhren ihn brauchen
Zum Zeitvermessen und für den
Unterschied von hart und weich

Siegreich auch weil niemals
Müde, den Wettbewerb, wer
Von uns beiden zuerst in
Schlaf versinkt, gewinnt ihr, oder
Du, das Meer noch immer
Weil du niemals schläfst

Obwohl selbst farblos
Erscheinst du blau wenn in deiner
Oberfläche ruhig sich der Himmel spiegelt
Ein Idealparkour
Zum wandeln für den Sohn des Zimmermanns
Das wandelbarste Element

Und umgekehrt wenn du bist, wild
Und laut und tosend deine Brandung
In deine Wellenberge lausch' ich
Und aus den höchsten Wellen, aus den Brechern
Brechen dann die tausend Stimmen, meine
Die von gestern die ich nicht kannte
Die sonst flüstern und alle anderen
Auch, und mittendrin der Nazarener
Immer wieder die famosen, fünfen
Letzten Worte: Warum hast du mich verlassen?

Ich halt dagegen
Brüll' jede Welle einzeln an:
Bleibst du jetzt hier?
Bleibst du jetzt hier?
Bleibst du jetzt hier, oder was?

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”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
