Mir fallen die Augen zu
Ich hab' wieder nicht geschlafen
Es lässt mir keine Ruhe
Die ganze Nacht lag ich wach

Es ist hässlich und schmerzt, weil ich nicht weiß
Sind wir mit uns fertig oder wird's wieder heiß
Hin oder her, gerade oder quer
Ohne ist nicht möglich und mit geht nicht mehr

Ich denke verkehrt, ich denke verdreht
Ich denke, dass ich nichts und mich niemand versteht

Tu nur das was dein Herz dir sagt
Alles andere soll dich nicht stören
Doch mein Herz steckt im Kopf und mein Kopf steckt im Sand
Darum kann ich mein Herz nicht richtig hören

So kreisen meine Sinne
Wie betäubt durch den Raum
Mache ich ihnen Platz
Oder platzt dann der Traum

Entscheiden ist qualvoll, wenn ich bedenke
Dass ich dann womöglich so vieles verschenke
Ich kann's drehen oder dabei bewenden lassen
Ich kann's versuchen oder die Konsequenzen hassen

Ich denke verkehrt, ich denke verdreht
Ich denke, dass ich nichts und mich niemand versteht

Tu nur das was dein Herz dir sagt
Alles andere soll dich nicht stören
Doch mein Herz steckt im Kopf und mein Kopf steckt im Sand
Darum kann ich mein Herz nicht richtig hören

Tu nur das was dein Herz dir sagt
Alles andere soll dich nicht stören
Doch mein Herz steckt im Kopf und mein Kopf steckt im Sand
Darum kann ich mein Herz nicht richtig hören

    wunderbares lied - sie sagen es wäre doch so einfach...man muss nur auf das Herz hören, aber was wenn man es nicht hört, wenn man es nicht versteht, wenn das Gehirn die Vollmacht übernommen hat? wenn Gefühle nichts mehr zählen? und sie singen auch davon, wie schwer es sein kann die richtige Entscheidung zu folgen, von den bitteren Konsequenzen der Entscheidung und er hasst es, dass er das Gefühl hat nicht so zu denken, wie er denken sollte - ja nochviel mehr, er möchte aufhören zu denken und das Herz entscheiden lassen, aber wie? wenn es im Kopf steckt und dieser im sand...das Herz hat also keine Vollmacht und das quält - lässt einen nicht schlafen und nicht ruhen!

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.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
