Pure Vernunft darf niemals siegen
Wir brauchen dringend neue Lügen
Die uns durchs Universum leiten
Und uns das Fest der Welt bereiten
Die das Delirium erzwingen
Und uns in schönsten Schlummer singen
Die uns vor stumpfer Wahrheit warnen
Und tiefer Qualen sich erbarmen
Die uns in Bambuskörben wiegen
Pure Vernunft darf niemals siegen



Pure Vernunft darf niemals siegen
Wir brauchen dringend neue Lügen
Die uns den Schatz des Wahnsinns zeigen
Und sich danach vor uns verbeugen
Und die zu Königen uns krönen
Nur um uns heimlich zu verhöhnen
Und die uns in die Ohren zischen
Und über unsere Augen wischen
Die die, die uns helfen wollen bekriegen
Pure Vernunft darf niemals siegen



Pure Vernunft darf niemals siegen
Wir brauchen dringend neue Lügen
Die unsere Schönheit uns erhalten
Uns aber tief im Inneren spalten
Viel mehr noch, die uns fragmentieren
Und danach zärtlich uns berühren
Und uns hinein ins Dunkel führen
Die sich unserem Willen fügen
Und uns wie weiche Zäune biegen
Pure Vernunft darf niemals siegen



Wir sind so leicht, dass wir fliegen (x4)

    English translation:

    Pure reason must never win We badly need new lies To guide us across the universe And to give us the feast of the world To drive us into delirium And to sing us to the most quiet slumber To warn us of the boring truth And to pity our deepest pain To rock us in bamboo-baskets Pure reason must never win

    Pure reason must never win We badly need new lies To show us the precious of madness And then to bow to us To crown us to kings Only to taunt us secretly To hiss in our ears And to wipe our eyes To fight them, who want to help us Pure reason must never win

    Pure reason must never win We badly need new lies To preserve our beauty But to split us deep inside Much more: To deconstruct us And then to touch us tenderly To lead us into darkness To resign to our will And to bend us like soft fences Pure reason must never win

    We are so light, we could fly...

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."
