Die Wellen

Was soll ich jetzt mit euch, ihr Wellen, ihr
Die ihr euch nie entscheiden könnt
Ob ihr die ersten oder letzten seid?
Die Küste wollt ihr definieren
Mit eurem ständigen Gewäsch
Sie zisilieren mit eurem Kommen, eurem Gehen
Und doch weiss niemand wie lang
Die Küste wirklich ist
Wo das Land aufhört, das Land beginnt
Denn ständig ändert
Ihr die Linie, Länge, Lage
Mit dem Mond und unberechenbar

Beständig nur ist eure Unbeständigkeit

Siegreich letztendlich, denn sie höhlt
Wie oft beschworen steine, mahlt den Sand
So fein wie Stundengläser
Eieruhren ihn brauchen
Zum Zeitvermessen und für den
Unterschied von hart und weich

Siegreich auch weil niemals
Müde, den Wettbewerb, wer
Von uns beiden zuerst in
Schlaf versinkt, gewinnt ihr, oder
Du, das Meer noch immer
Weil du niemals schläfst

Obwohl selbst farblos
Erscheinst du blau wenn in deiner
Oberfläche ruhig sich der Himmel spiegelt
Ein Idealparkour
Zum wandeln für den Sohn des Zimmermanns
Das wandelbarste Element

Und umgekehrt wenn du bist, wild
Und laut und tosend deine Brandung
In deine Wellenberge lausch' ich
Und aus den höchsten Wellen, aus den Brechern
Brechen dann die tausend Stimmen, meine
Die von gestern die ich nicht kannte
Die sonst flüstern und alle anderen
Auch, und mittendrin der Nazarener
Immer wieder die famosen, fünfen
Letzten Worte: Warum hast du mich verlassen?

Ich halt dagegen
Brüll' jede Welle einzeln an:
Bleibst du jetzt hier?
Bleibst du jetzt hier?
Bleibst du jetzt hier, oder was?

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.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
