I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
I wish I was a hunter in search of different food
I wish I was the animal which fits into that mood
I wish i was a person with unlimited breath
I wish I was a heartbeat that never comes to rest
Komm zu mir
Come to me
Komm zu mir
Come to me
Komm zu mir
Come to me
Komm zu mir
Come to me
I wish I was a stanger who wanders down the sky
I wish I was a starship in silence flying by
I wish I was a princess with armies at her hand
I wish I was a ruler who'd make them understand
Komm zu mir
Come to me
(Komm zu mir)
(Come to me)
Komm zu mir
Come to me
(Komm zu mir zurück)
(Come back to me)
Komm zu mir
Come to me
(zurück zurück zurück)
(Back, back, back to me)
Komm zu mir
Come to me
(zurück zu mir)
(Back to me)
Wir sprengten jeden Rahmen
We went beyond all frontiers
als wir zusammen kamen
when we met
war's wie eine Explosion
it felt like an Explosion
und ich schwör'
and I swear
ich spür' die Erschütterung immer noch
I can still feel its vibrations
ich weiss du rennst und doch
I know you're running and yet
bist du erst nah und da
you won't be close and really here
wenn du in meinen Armen liegst
until you're right here in my arms
ich geh' zu Boden wenn du nicht mit mir fleigst
I will fall to the ground if you don't fly with me
Oh Baby, bitte bitte lauf lauf gib nicht auf
Oh, baby please please run and don't give up
ich hab' dich vermisst
I missed you so much
es fressen mich Dämonen auf wenn du nicht bei mir bist
demons will eat me up if you're not here with me
ich tu' was du verlangst hab' keine Angst
I'll do as you say, don't be afraid
ich lass' dich nicht allein denn uns gehört die Welt
I won't leave you cause the world's all ours
wir können alles sein doch jetzt bist du auf dich gestellt
We can be everything we want to but right now you're on your own
I wish I was a writer who sees what's yet unseen
I wish i was a prayer expressing what I mean
I wish I was a forest of trees that do not hide
(komm zu mir)
(Come to me)
I wish I was a clearing no secrets left inside
(komm zu mir)
(Come to me)
...zurück
...back to me
ich bin wegen dir hier
I am here because of you
zum Glück bleibt uns noch Zeit bis zur Ewigkeit
we are lucky to still have time left till eternity
ein Stück deines Daseins steckt in mir
a piece of your existence is present within me
und ich halt' es so fest doch die Erinnerrung bringt mich um
and I hold it close but it kills me to remember it all
weil es mich nicht loslässt
cause it won't leave me alone
bitte bleib' bei mir, verzeih' mir
please stay with me, please forgive me
lasse es dich nicht zerstören
don't let it destroy you
wir kommen frei hier
we'll get out of here
wenn wir nur auf die Liebe schwör'n
if only we swear on love
es gibt sonst nichts auf dieser Welt was uns zusammenhält
there is nothing else in this world that keeps us together
ausser dern was du mir gibst wenn du mich liebst
apart from what you give me when you love me
und deshalb Baby lauf lauf bitte gib nicht auf
and so Baby, run run, please don't give up
ich hab' dich vermisst
I missed you so much
es fressen mich Dämonen auf wenn du nicht bei mir bist
demons will eat me up if you're not here with me
ich tu' was du verlangst hab' keine Angst
I'll do as you say, don't be afraid
ich lass' dich nicht allein denn uns gehört die Welt
I won't leave you cause the world's all ours
wir können alles sein sind wir auf uns gestellt
we can be everything we want to when we're on our own
Wir zwei beschreiben Stille, die jeden Krach umhüllt
The two of us describe a silence that wraps up every noise
besitzen ein Bewusstsein, das jeden Raum erfüllt
We both have a conscience and a confidence that can fill every room
auch du wirst mich vermissen, wenn keiner bei dir ist
you will miss me, too, when no one's with you
denn ich will von dir wissen wer du bist
cause I want to know who you really are
Ich brauch' dich doch auch nicht mehr als du mich
I don't need you more than you need me
Ich brauch' dich doch auch nicht mehr als du mich
I don't need you more than you need me
Ich brauch' dich doch auch nicht mehr als du mich
I don't need you more than you need me
Ich brauch' dich doch auch nicht mehr..
I don't need you more...
(Komm zu mir, Baby lauf lauf lauf!)
(Come to me, Baby, run run run!)
I wish I was a hunter in search of different food
I wish i was the animal which fits into that mood
I wish I was a person with unlimited breath
I wish I was a heartbeat that never comes to rest

Komm zu mir

I don't need you more than you need me
Ich brauch' dich doch auch nicht mehr als du mich
I don't need you more than you need me
Ich brauch' dich doch auch nicht mehr als du mich
I don't need you more than you need me
Ich brauch' dich doch auch nicht mehr...
I don't need you more...

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
It's a compelling song, definatley interesting, and the main reason I ended up buying the soundtrack. I had always wondered though, is the Engligh lyrics that follow the German the translation, or is the proper translation something totally different? It's a tiny thing I'd always wanted to know.
i enjoy this song. yay for franka potente.
I think the English is the translation of the German, from what little I know of the language.
