Ich hab' dich seit langem nicht geseh'n

War überrascht, auf einmal vor dir zu steh'n

Ich hätte dich auch beinahe nicht erkannt

Doch der große rote Stein hat deinen Namen genannt


So viele Jahre ist es her

Und seitdem ist viel gescheh'n

Scheiße kommt und Scheiße geht

Wir hab'n das Meiste schon geseh'n

Du bist nicht hier und trotzdem hast

Du überhaupt gar nichts verpaßt


Neben dir ein altes Ehepaar

Zu deinen Füßen sitzt man wunderbar

Auf dem dicken fetten Protzestein

Von einem toten Pfaffenschwein


So viele Jahre ist es her

Und seitdem ist viel gescheh'n

Scheiße kommt und Scheiße geht

Wir hab'n das Meiste schon geseh'n

Du bist nicht hier und trotzdem hast

Du überhaupt gar nichts verpaßt


So viele Jahre ist es her

Und seitdem ist viel gescheh'n

Scheiße kommt und Scheiße geht

Wir hab'n das Meiste schon geseh'n

Scheiße kommt und Scheiße bleibt

Nichts als Scheiße weit und breit

Glück für den, der nicht mehr lebt

Hey, Thomas


(Refrain)

    I think Thomas is an old Friend of the Singer who is dead. Now the Singer sits at his grave and thinks about the bad world

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.

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"

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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,

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
