Halber Mensch
Geh weiter, in jede Richtung
Wir haben Wahrheiten für dich
Aufgestellt
Halber Mensch
In ihren Rissen leuchten unsre
Sender

Zu jeder vollen Stunde senden wir
Deine Werte
Geh weiter
Halber Mensch
Wir sorgen für dich
Wir nehmen für dich wahr
Halber Mensch
Wer geteilt ist, hat nicht mitzuteilen
Wir sorgen für dich
Wir nehmen für dich wahr
Wir sorgen für dich
Wir triggern deine Sinne
Rauschunterdrückung

Halber Mensch
Du siehst die Sender nicht
Und Kabel hängen
Längst verlegt
Aus deinen Nerven
Enden längs des Wegs
Geh weiter!
Sieh deine zweite Hälfte
Wer geteilt ist hat nicht mitzuteilen
Wir sorgen für dich
Wir triggern deine Sinne
Wir nehmen für dich wahr
Wir sorgen für dich
Dass die zweite Hälfte dich niemals trifft
Halber Mensch
Sieh deine zweite Hälfte
Die scheinbar grundlos
Schreiend erwacht

Schreiend näherkommt
Du siehst sie nicht
Bist gefesselt vom Abendprogramm
Geh weiter in jede Richtung
Wer geteilt ist, hat nichts mitzuteilen
Nach wie vor
Nach wie vor
Streng dich an
Streng dich an
Nach wie vor
Wir sorgen für dich
Wir nehmen für dich wahr
Wir sorgen für dich
Wir triggern deine Sinne
Wir sorgen für dich
Dass die zweite Hälfte dich niemals trifft
Halber Mensch
Mir nichts dir nichts
Steht da der Schnitter
Geh weiter
Stösst an
Geht nicht weiter

Du formlose Knete
Aus der die Lebensgeister
Den letzten Rest
Funken aussaugen
Fliegen angestachelt taumelnd, besoffen davon
Tanzen nutzlos in der Sonne
Mach dir nichts aus
Sie machen gar aus
Ein Bild für die Götter
Schönen Gruss vom Schnitter
Sicheln nicht sein!
Verwesen

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.

Mountain Song
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."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
