Verse 1:

Erst wenn die Sonne untergeht,spüre ich die Wärme und lerne,
die Nacht gehört zu mir, so wie zum Mond die Sterne.
Spür so gerne,
wie die Dunkelheit mich packt und mich zum Leben erweckt.
Dann wird die Duneklheit Hauptsache und nicht zum Nebeneffekt.
Ich mag das Licht in der Nacht,
mag den Mond,der über Allem wacht.
Ich mag die Übermacht,
denn in der Nacht, da bin ich wach.
Zieh über dein Dach.
wie lange dunkle Schatten.
Kriech in jeden Fuge,jede Rille deiner Platten.
Du kannst vor vielem fliehen,doch nicht vor Nacht und Dunkelheit.
Und gehst du noch so weit, irgendwann endet die Tageszeit.
Dann hast du Angst und spürst den Wind in deinem Rücken.
Du spürst die Enge in deinem Raum, das Schwarze dich nach unten drücken.
Du glaubst, allein zu sein, doch weisst nicht, dass wir bei dir sind,
die Dunkelheit, die Stille und der Wind.
Wir bringen Atmosphäre,
wo nichts wäre
und die Farbe ins Matt.
Du spürst den Flow, wenn es Nacht wird über deiner Stadt.

Interlude
Chorus:
Hab bloss keine Angst, wenn es Nacht wird über deiner Stadt.
Mach die Augen auf, wenn es Nacht wird über deiner Stadt.
Und hör gut hin, wenn es Nacht wird über deiner Stadt.
Du spürst den Flow...
Hab keine Angst, wenn es Nacht wird über deiner Stadt.
Und hör gut hin, wenn es Nacht wird über deiner Stadt.
Du spürst den Flow.





Verse 2:

Von oben siehst du die Strassen als zusammenhängende
Lichterketten,
und über dir hängen die Woken in dichten Decken.
Es gibt keine falschen Strassen und richigen Ecken,
bloss solche, über die wir hören und zu berichten hätten.
Du weisst: Die Nacht schreibt ihre eigene Geschichte,
die nie ans Tageslicht kommt und die sich niemals lichtet.
Ich sah viele dunkle Gesalten auf der Reise hierher,
doch mir sind die Strassen am Liebsten,sind sie leise und leer.
Nur vereinzelt beleuchtete Fenster zeugen von Wachsamkeit,
odere von unruhigen Geistern,die die Nacht antreibt.
Und Tagträumern, die laut träumen und sich immer noch daran laben,
sind in der Nacht und sonst so nötig,wie Solaranlagen.
Drum spür die Energie- die in der dunklen Hälfte vom Tag,
und spür die Energie, ist die Hälfte der Menschheit im Schlaf.
Denk nicht an morgen, wenn die Dunkelheit ein Ende hat.
Und spür den Flow, wenn es Nacht wird über deiner Stadt.

Chorus

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.

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.

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,

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
