Alanis Morissette – Hands Clean Lyrics 11 years ago
I've listened to this song a lot lately, it reminds me of someone I met when I was working as an unpaid intern at a small business. I have very mixed feelings about this guy who is fifteen years older than me, though I'm not in my teens like Alanis. Also, this guy never took advantage of me sexually. Anyway, he would talk to me all the time and pay a lot of attention to me and recommend me to some of his contacts at other businesses. On the other hand, he expected me to work real hard and I strained myself quite a bit just to impress him. I suppose I thought he was my friend but now I'm not so sure. I wonder if he was nice to me only because he wanted me to do a lot of unpaid work, and because he was flattered to be admired by a younger woman.
Now I got a much better position financially, but I'm not that happy there and somehow I miss him. At the same time I feel like he 'washed his hands clean' of me and the messed-up person I've become. I don't know.

Annett Louisan – Das Spiel Lyrics 14 years ago
Attempt at another translation:

The Game

That you're not what you used to be
Since you undressed for me
That you chuck everything because of one night
and lose everything, is not how it was supposed to be

You want me for yourself and you want all of me
But on this level it's no fun for me
That doesn't make me complete, I only feel at home
caught between two stools

I just want to play
I'm not doing anything

That you leave someone because of me
That you cry sometimes because it hurts you
That there is somebody else every once in a while
who occasionally slips into my life

That you fall in love because we did it
That it hits you so hard I didn't know
It wasn't planned that you're feeling
Like one out of many now

I just want to play
I'm not doing anything

That you don't sleep anymore because it arouses you
When I move, how I move
That you almost burn under my hand
When I touch you, I had no idea

I'm just standing there, doing this and that
Running my hand through my hair and suddenly you want something
Better let it drop, I respect your feelings too much

I just want to play
I'm not doing anything
