| Die Aerzte – Himmelblau Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
For me, this song had always kind of an double meaning. On the one hand it's sounds like a song about somone who starts a new life after he got over something difficult and exhausting but also important in his life on which he can now (in retrospect) look at with a good feeling. (I heard the song first a while after my ex-boyfriend left me and it was oneof the first days I was feeling better and went outside and felt really like a loosing a huge burden. and it seemed to fit in a way.) But on the other hand I always have to think about this song as being about suicide. "the rest of your life" could also mean something like "the last few minutes of your life". The person has decided to kill himself so he can look back at his life and also see the nice moments he had, because he already decided that it was not enough to continiue this life. But this interpretation is not that much about the lyrics but more about the music an the way the song is sung. It's not sung with an happy voice really. It sound more as sung by someone who hasn't anything left to loose, like he has resinged to the fact that he doesn't want to live any longer and doesn't have to because he already has made his plans, said goodbye to his family and is now standing on the cliff, ready to jump. |

| Vienna Teng – Recessional Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
To me this song tells the story of two people who are not sure about their relationship. Maybe they where just friends or they didn't even like each other before. And now they have started something the speaker can't really understand. "And I never thought I would find her here" And even the speaker did not want them to get amorous, she can't remember why because se maybe develops feelings she doesn't want to have. "And I know I don't want this. Oh, I swear I don't want this. There's a reason not to want this but I forgot..." In the second verse they go through some kind of strange routine. maybe they work together or have to fly somewhere for another reason. And they try to combine their new relationship with their everyday life, which makes it even weirder because a short affair is becoming more permanent. She tries to ease herself and believe that everything is normal and they are just friends or colleages that had an affair, but it feels so strange, as this could be more. "maybe it means nothing, but I'm afraid to move." In the last part the speaker recognizes that she still doesn't know what she feels and what the other one feels. "And the words, they're everything and nothing" And they probably don't even know each other. "Who are you, taking coffee, no sugar? Who are you, echoing street signs? Who are you, the stranger in the shell of a lover, dark curtains drawn by the passage of time?" In the end they can't manage it, and leave each other without speaking out on their feelings. They trie to go back to their former lives, but don't know what will hapen the next time they meet. "Well anyway," she says, "I'll see you around..." |
