Einmal hat Gott der Welt erklärt
„Nur ich allein bin der Herr!“
Ich dulde keine Götter neben mir
Du sollst immer nur mich verehren
Sprich meinen Namen nicht unnütz aus
Quäl Dich sechs Tage bleib am siebten zu Haus

Ich schuf den Himmel und die Erde und auch das Meer
Einmal in der Woche dankst du mir dafür
Ehre deine Eltern damit du lange lebst
In diesem Land das der Herr dir gibt

Du sollst nicht töten und du sollst nicht stehlen
Und du sollst in der Ehe nicht fremd gehen
Du sollst nicht lügen und nichts Falsches erzählen
Ein ehrliches redliches Leben wählen
Das Haus und die Frau deines Nächsten nicht begehren
Und nichts von dem was deinem Nächsten gehört

Wenn ich du wär lieber Gott
Und wenn du ich wärst lieber Gott
Glaubst du ich wäre auch so streng mit dir?
Wenn ich du wär lieber Gott
Und wenn du ich wärst lieber Gott
Würdest du die Gebote befolgen
Nur wegen mir?

Gott war verzweifelt als er sich ansah
Seine Kinder haben jeden Tag neu versagt
Zur Rettung hat er uns seinen Sohn geschickt
Doch der starb umsonst denn nichts änderte sich
Und jede Warnung jede Drohung die vom Himmel kam
Wurde überhört von den Schafen des Herrn

Und jeden Tag versagen wir ein weiteres Mal
Und jeden Tag versagen wir ein weiteres Mal
Und jeden Tag versagen wir ein weiteres Mal
Und jeden Tag versagen wir ein weiteres Mal

Wenn ich du wär lieber Gott
Und wenn du ich wärst lieber Gott
Glaubst du ich wäre auch so streng mit dir?
Wenn ich du wär lieber Gott
Und wenn du ich wärst lieber Gott
Würdest du die Gebote befolgen
Nur wegen mir?

    As usual, my translation:

    Once upon a time, god declared: I am the one and only master I won't tolerate any other gods You shalt worship me and nobody else Don't say my name for no reason at all Crucify yourself six days, stay at home at day seven

    I created heaven and earth and the sea, Once a week you shalt thank me for that Honour thy parents, so you will live long In this country given by the Lord!

    Thou shalt not kill and thou shalt not steal And thou shalt not cheat your wife Thou shalt not lie and tell wrong things Chose a faithful and righteous path in life: Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife or house Nor anything that is the neighbor's.

    If I were you, dear Lord, And you were me, dear Lord Do you think, I would be that severe with you? If I were you, dear Lord, And you were me, dear Lord Would you obey the commandments, Just because of me?

    God was desperate as he had seen, his children failed every day again. He sent us his son for salvation But he died in vain, because nothing changed. And every warning, every threat that came from heaven Went unheard by the Lambs of God.

    And everyday we fail again and again... And everyday we fail again and again...

    If I were you, dear Lord, And you were me, dear Lord Do you think, I would be that severe with you? If I were you, dear Lord, And you were me, dear Lord Would you obey the commandments, Just because of me?

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.

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.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
