Alleine In Der Nacht

Die Ärzte

Alleine im Lokal wart' ich wieder mal
Darauf, dass noch was geschieht
Da stehst du im Licht
Ich trau' meinen Augen nicht
Ein Engel, der wie du aussieht

Ich muss handeln und zwar schnell, ob ich Whiskey bestell'
Oder soll ich zu dir gehen
Doch der Typ da mit dem Bier
Was will der denn von dir?
Ich hab' dich doch zuerst gesehen
Ich hab' dich doch zuerst gesehen

Ist die Chance vertan? Warum lacht mir nie das Glück?
Trink ich mich heut' unter'n Tisch oder geh' ich nach Haus zurück?

Alleine in der Nacht
Alleine in der Nacht

Doch der Typ geht weg und ich kriege einen Schreck
Denn du schaust direkt zu mir
Ich geb' dir einen aus, frag' dich: „Kommst du mit nach Haus?“
Du sagst „Ja“, so gehen wir

Ich spür's genau im Knie, so verliebt war ich noch nie
Da stoppt uns ein Polizist
Eine Bank wurd' ausgeraubt und das ist ja nicht erlaubt
Er sagt, dass Du's gewesen bist
Er sagt, dass Du's gewesen bist

Jetzt bist du eingesperrt, doch ich werde treu dir sein
Leider bin ich dafür sieben Jahre lang allein

Alleine in der Nacht (alleine in der Nacht)
Alleine in der Nacht (alleine in der Nacht)
Alleine in der Nacht (alleine in der Nacht)
Alleine in der Nacht (alleine in der Nacht)

Es wär' schön gewesen
Mir bleibt nur deine Liebesbriefe zu lesen
Mit ihnen decke ich mich zu

Alleine in der Nacht
Alleine in der Nacht
Alleine in der Nacht
Alleine in der Nacht

Du bist allein, ganz allein, so allein, allein in der Nacht
Ich bin allein, so allein, so allein, allein in der Nacht
Du bist allein, ich bin allein, wir sind allein, allein in der Nacht
Er ist allein, sie ist allein, es ist allein, allein in der Nacht

    A typical lyric from Dirk Felsenheimer in the early years of Die Ärzte. Not really like a genius. But still it's a classic.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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”

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.

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.
