Jede Nacht steig ich hinab
ins dunkle Nichts der kalten Stadt
Wir sind getrieben von Lust und Gier
Wir brechen aus ins Jetzt und Hier
Im sog der Sünde mit aller Gewalt
wird heiße Lust mit Leid bezahlt
Und wieder und wieder
streckst du mich lustvoll nieder
Und wieder und wieder
gerbst du mir das Gefieder
Du riechst mich du jagst mich du hast mich
eiskalt erwischt
Ich ruf dich verfluch dich du packst mich
du hast du hast mich
eiskalt erwischt
Jede Nacht reiß ich mit Lust
das kalte Herz aus meiner Brust
Wir sind getrieben von Lust und Leid
Zerbrechen an der Wirklichkeit
Im sog der Sünde für immer versklavt
wird heiße Lust mit leid bestraft

    OK, here is my translation for this one. I hadn't posted it when I put the rest up because there is one line I think I have really wrong.

    Caught Ice-cold

    Every night, I climb down into dark oblivion of the cold city We are pulled by desire and greed We break out into now and here In the wake of sin with all force hot lust will be paid with grief And again and again You stretch me down lustily And again and again you beat for me the plumage* You smell me, you hunt me, you have me caught ice-cold I call you, curse you, you seize me you have, you have me caught ice-cold Every night, I tear with desire the cold heart out of my breast We are pulled by desire and pain Cracked by reality In the wake of sin, forever enslaved hot desire will be punished with grief

    *I’m sure this line is wrong,I will fix it; but the rest is right

    ok, I asked enough people to get a concensus and the "gerbst du mir das gefieder" is supposedly just an archaic way of saying "you beat me soundly" (along the lines of saying someone will "tan your hide").

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
