    All right people, listen up. Doubtless, this song IS anti-American no matter what you think. If you all would have been payin' attention when you attended school, then you would know how to analyse a text. Anyways, as far as I like to oppose your opinions, it is both coming together: the American way of life and its consequences effecting the entire world AND them not realizing that they are not the world's cop. I am from Germany but I have lived in the US for 11 months. Of course there are a bunch of pretty cool fellas and nice individuals, but as 'redrum' already sad, they are stuck in a magic bubble they have trapped in by government and its media. Rammstein is not complaining about America spreading and sharing their culture with other countries. Here in Germany, e.g. there are plenty of people who love the American culture, who just admire the American fast food. It's every individuals' job to keep an eye of WHAT they do! Rammstein is more making fun of the American war-mongers. Americans think they live in a country which is a country everyone is dreaming of, a country of freedom. Actually, there are only some detached Americans out here who realize that it is not. Americans government with its rules and regulations is a bunch of shit. They don't care of others, they don't care of global warming. America is one of the biggest heat-trapping ability in the world! All they care about is their lifestyle. It is all about worth, their consumer acceptance and their worldwide acceptance. And the last point was the biggest dispraise and shame in the US history. The government is filled up with a flush of morons, and all THEY think about is wealth. And they can only reach it with war (in Iraq e.g., and EVERYONE in this fucking world knows, it's all about oil!). I'm not wondering, why this backfired so striking!

    Well this is a point we just have came up to. Germany did a lot of mistakes in the past, too. But they are doing better now, they are one of the most peaceful countries on earth, fighting for freedom, giving money to poor countries and nations, fighting for them and sending troops to Afghanistan to help their police out to get a good education on how to fight terrorism. THAT'S what America has to do. Fuck off that oil. Try to drive less with your cars and try not to spend so much on fucking war! All Europe (and Rammstein in the song) is complaining about is that America has so many people who love to fight for they seem to be the greatest in the world which they are not. Try to come along with other countries, show some respect and do your best to get a good future. Germany knows well what it means to have a war-monger at its top.

    Yea, I think this is it. :) To all of you Americans out there: Don't get mad at me for saying this, but try to get this in your head and do your best of becoming more and more of a better place in the world. It's all about you citizens to reach the acceptance and honor you think you all deserve. Germany has also reached this. But not with war, but with peace.

    Thus, peace out, fellas!

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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."
