Du siehst die Tage, siehst die Stunden,
Sie an dir vorüber zieh'n.
Und irgendwann schließt du die Augen,
Scheint dich nicht mehr zu berühren.
Alles, was dir soviel wert war,
Liegt am Boden, ist zerstört.
Du willst jetzt einfach nur noch raus hier,
Es gibt nichts mehr, was dich hält.

Und du startest durch,
Durch Atmosphäre, Raum und Zeit.
Stolperst über Sterne und Planeten
Und das Glück ist nicht mehr weit.

Doch kurz vor der Sonne
Holen dich die Zweifel ein,
Hältst kurz an und schaust zurück,
Doch deine Welt ist winzigklein.
Kurz vor der Sonne
Kommt die Dunkelheit zurück
Und du merkst, dass man hier draußen
Ganz schön einsam ist.

Du kannst fast schon danach greifen
Und aus deiner Umlaufbahn
Zieht es dich in Richtung Erde,
Die man nur dort verändern kann.
Alles, was dir soviel Wert war,
Wars nicht das, worums dir geht.
Liegt nicht alles, was wir suchen
Alle wo man unsern Schmerz versteht.

Und du startest durch,
Durch Atmosphäre, Raum und Zeit.
Stolperst über Sterne und Planeten
Und das Glück ist nicht mehr weit.

Kurz vor der Sonne
Holen dich die Zweifel ein,
Hältst kurz an und schaust zurück,
Doch deine Welt ist winzigklein.
Kurz vor der Sonne
Kommt die Dunkelheit zurück
Und du merkst, dass man hier draußen
Ganz schön einsam ist.

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.

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.
