Nur noch der Berg,
Dann ist es geschafft
Und dann, und dann: freie Sicht auf das Meer
Und das muss es bitte aber auch wert sein
Dann die große, böse Schwester der Hoffnung

Ihre Waffe das Schwert, ihr Name Enttäuschung
Mit einfachen klaren Sätzen
Die einmal kurz klarstellen
Anders als gedacht, mein Schatz

Und da geht was du weißt
Und hier kommt was du ahnst
Und das wie es wirklich ist
Gegen dort wo du mal warst

Und alles was du kennst gegen alles was du glaubst
Der Zustand den man wankend kennt
Bevor man ihm vertraut
Und der Mist den du hier spürst
So jenseits von schade
Sind die letzten 3 Jahre

Also was ist:
Zu erkennen, dass man glücklich war ist leicht
Na also was wird:
Zu erkennen, dass man glücklich ist ist Kunst
Nichts überstürzen, die Nacht drüber schlafen
Einmal kurz sammeln im Heimathafen
Mit miesem Gefühl, der Weg ist das Ziel
Und du: auf dem Ozean
Anders als gedacht, mein Schatz

Und da geht was du weißt
Und hier kommt was du ahnst
Und das wie es wirklich ist
Gegen dort wo du mal warst

Und alles was du kennst gegen alles was du glaubst
Der Zustand den man wankend kennt
Bevor man ihm vertraut
Und der Mist den du hier spürst
So jenseits von schade
Sind die letzten 3 Jahre

Und alles was du kennst gegen alles was du glaubst
Und alles was du weisst gegen alles was du glaubst

Und alles was du kennst gegen alles was du glaubst
Der Zustand den man wankend kennt
Bevor man ihm vertraut
Und der Mist den du hier spürst
So jenseits von schade
Sind die letzten 3 Jahre

    also die ersten zeilen sind genial, wo er eine beziehung, in der es schwierigkeiten gibt und von der man glaubt, dass alles besser wird vergleicht mit einer langen fahrt in der urlaub.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
