Die Stimme bebt und der Blick ist Eis
Gleich geht jemand hier zu weit
Die Zunge ist geladen und bereit
Die Wörter von der Leine zu lassen, sich Feinde zu machen

Die Pfeilspitzen voller Gift
Der Feind wackelt, wenn du triffst
Du triumphierst, wenn er kippt
Doch morgen um diese Zeit tut es dir leid

Hahnenkampf um einen haufen Mist
Jemanden opfern für lau nen witz
Eine Spinne tot-duschen, wenn du in der Wanne sitzt
Einem dummen zeigen, dass du schlauer bist

Denn es steckt mit dir unter einer Haut
Und du weißt, es will raus ans Licht
Die Käfigtür geht langsam auf und da zeigt es sich:
Das zweite Gesicht

Ein Biest lebt in deinem Haus
Du schließt es ein, es bricht aus
Das gleiche Spiel jeden Tag
Vom Laufstall bis ins Grab

Ein Biest lebt in deinem Haus
Du schließt es ein, es bricht aus
Es kommt durch jede Tür
Es wohnt bei dir und bei mir

Du willst nach vorn, die anderen wollen zurück
Du hast Visionen, doch sie kommen nicht mit
Jemand steht zwischen dir und deinem Glück
Und es macht dich rasend, kannst es nicht ertragen

Du guckst dir zu und hörst dich reden
Du bist grad sensationell daneben
Versuchst vom Gas zu gehen, dein Fuß ist grad gelähmt
Du siehst die Wand und fährst dagegen

Du spielst falsch, um nicht zu verlieren
Dann feiern, als wär nix passiert
Dein Gewissen ist betrunken
Die Frau deines Freundes kommt mit zu dir

Es steckt mit dir unter einer Haut
Und du weißt, es will raus ans Licht
Die Käfigtür geht langsam auf und da zeigt es sich:
Das zweite Gesicht

Ein Biest lebt in deinem Haus
Du schließt es ein, es bricht aus
Das gleiche Spiel jeden Tag
Vom Laufstall bis ins Grab

Ein Biest lebt in deinem Haus
Du schließt es ein, es bricht aus
Es kommt durch jede Tür
Es wohnt bei dir und bei mir

Ein Biest lebt in deinem Haus
Du schließt es ein, es bricht aus

    Die Stimme bebt und der Blick ist Eis The voice quivers, the expression is ice gleich geht jemand hier zu Soon someone will go too far die Zunge ist geladen und bereit The tongue is charged and ready die Wörter von der Leine zu lassen, sich Feinde zu to turn words loose, to make enemies

    die Pfeilspitzen voller Gift The arrowheads full of poison der Feind wackelt, wenn du triffst The enemy shakes as you strike du triumphierst, wenn er kippt It's your triumph as he tilts doch Morgen um diese Zeit tut es dir Leid yet tomorrow about this time you'll feel sorry Hahnenkampf um einen Haufen Mist Pointless fights about a lot of nonsense Jemanden opfern für einen lauen Witz Immolating someone for a stupid joke Eine Spinne tot � duschen, wenn du in der Wanne sitzt Showering a spider to death as you're having a bath Einem Dummen zeigen, dass du schlauer bist Showing off to a dumb perseon that you're smarter

    Denn es steckt mit dir unter einer Haut und du weisst It's sharing one body with you and you know es will raus ans Licht It wants to get into the light Die Käfigtür geht langsam auf und da zeigt es sich The caged door opens slowly and it turns; Das zweite Gesicht The second face.

    Chorus: Ein Biest lebt in deinem Haus A beast leaves within you du schließt es ein, es bricht aus You lock it in, it breaks out Das gleiche Spiel jeden Tag It's the same game every day Vom Laufstall bis ins Grab From your play yard to the grave yard

    Ein Biest lebt in deinem Haus A beast lives within you du schließt es ein, es bricht aus You lock it in, it breaks up es kommt durch jede Tür It breaks through any door es wohnt bei dir und bei mir It lives within you and within me

    du willst nach vorn, die anderen wollen zurück You want forward, the others want back du hast Visionen, doch sie kommen nicht mit You have visions, they can't keep up Jemand steht zwischen dir und deinem Glück Someone's in between you and your happiness Und es macht dich rasend, du kannst es nicht ertragen And it makes you furious and you can't stand it

    Du guckst dir zu und du hörst dich reden You watch yourself and can hear yourself talking Du bist grad sensationell daneben You're just fascinatingly out of order Versuchst vom Gas zu gehen, dein Fuß ist grad gelähmt You're trying to step off the gass your foot is paralyzed Du siehst die Wand und fährst dagegen You can see the wall yet you hit it Du spielst falsch, um nicht zu verlieren You play foul, so you won't lose Dann feiern, als wär nichts passiert Partying afterwards as if nothing happened Dein Gewissen ist betrunken your conscience is drunk Die Frau deines Freundes kommt mit zu dir Your friend's wife goes home with you Es steckt mit dir unter einer Haut It's sharing one body with you Und du weißt es will raus ans Licht and you know it wants to come into the light Die Käfigtür geht langsam auf und da zeigt es sich The cage door slody opens and it shows das zweite Gesicht the second face

    Chorus: Ein Biest lebt in deinem Haus A beast lives within you du schließt es ein, es bricht aus You lock it up it breaks out Das gleiche Spiel jeden Tag The same game every day Vom Laufstall bis ins Grab From your play yard to the grave yard Ein Biest lebt in deinem Haus A beast lives within you du schließt es ein, es bricht aus You lock it in, it breaks out es kommt durch jede Tür It breaks through any door es wohnt bei dir und bei mir It's within you and within me

Love in a Vacuum
'Til Tuesday
Well, in my opinion this song is about being a young & maybe a little naive &/or introverted girl and finding yourself loving a man who is at first very charming, carefree & outgoing, and seems at first to be without limits, as in "There was a time you opened up every doorway you didn't mind if everything wasn't your way" then that man starts to gradually become more introverted & shows their more possessive/obsessive side to you as the relationship progresses, even while they keep up the appearance of being carefree & outgoing to everyone else, "Don't pull away that goes against what you told me I look in your eyes I realize what you've sold me is love in a vacuum" so you confront them about the way they're acting and of course they deny it, "I think you've changed but you insist that that's not true" quite possibly they are an addict of some sort, my guess would be cocaine, &/or showing very obsessive behavior towards you (early on in the video for this song we see the man hanging a picture up, it is a very large portrait of Aimee & it is prominently displayed in his/their apartment for the duration of the song), thus their "love in a vacuum", "You look so strange, so distant that you're hardly you Now I can see how you have been acting different You say it's me but I know that it isn't it's love in a vacuum" but still you are in love with them and don't want to leave them and you know that they are truly in love with you and they don't want you to leave them either, maybe they are convinced you can save them from themself, maybe they are so broken that the possibility of an overdose &/or suicide attempt is very real and you want to get through to them that their behavior not only dangerous but it is also just pissing you off and if they don't wise up they run the risk of loosing you, as in the lines "You will be lonely if you leave me alone", so you want to save them but can't get through to them due to the addiction &/or emotional problems they have, "Love in a vacuum and that's not enough love in a vacuum You will be lonely you'll be the only one who feels this way You will be lonely if you leave me alone You will be lonely you'll be the only one who feels this way it's just not enough" you want them to understand that the love they are giving you is not enough when it is filtered through the vacuum of their drug addiction &/or emotional impairment, "You will be lonely you'll be the only one who feels this way it's just not enough and just wait you will be lonely Love in a vacuum Love in a vacuum and that's not enough Love in a vacuum". 'Love In A Vacuum' for me is a hauntingly truthful acute argument on the loneliness of obsession and almost inevitable loss of love that follows people who are broken in some way or another; the obsessives, the coke heads, the drunks, addicts or the just-plain-old emotionally broken; a razor sharp, lyrically driven, deceptively poppy, yet ultimately-depressing-in-the-best-way song. Quintessential Aimee Mann.

Spirit Within
Bertoldi Brothers
Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
