Warum hast du mir das angetan?
Ich hab's von einem Bekannten erfahren
Du hast jetzt einen neuen Freund
Zwei Wochen lang hab ich nur geweint
Jetzt schaust du weg, grüßt mich nicht mehr
Und ich lieb dich immer noch so sehr
Ich weiß, was dir an ihm gefällt
Ich bin arm und er hat Geld
Du liebst ihn nur, weil er ein Auto hat
Und nicht, wie ich, ein klappriges Damenrad

Doch eines Tages werd' ich mich rächen
Ich werd' die Herzen aller Mädchen brechen
Dann bin ich ein Star
Der in der Zeitung steht
Und dann tut es dir Leid
Doch dann ist es zu spät

Zu spät (zu spät), zu spät (zu spät), zu spät (zu spät)
Doch dann ist es zu spät

Zu spät (zu spät), zu spät (zu spät), zu spät (zu spät)
Dann ist alles zu spät

Du bist mit ihm im Theater gewesen
Ich hab dir nur Fix und Foxi vorgelesen
Du warst mit ihm essen, natürlich im Ritz
Bei mir gab's nur Currywurst mit Pommes Frites
Der Gedanke bringt mich ins Grab
Er kriegt das, was ich nicht hab
Ich hasse ihn, wenn es das gibt
So, wie ich dich vorher geliebt
Ich wollte ihn verprügeln, deinen Supermann
Ich wusste nicht, dass er auch Karate kann
(Hung dong tschabalahuti)

Doch eines Tages werd' ich mich rächen
Ich werd' die Herzen aller Mädchen brechen
Dann bin ich ein Star
Der in der Zeitung steht
Und dann tut es dir Leid
Doch dann ist es zu spät

Eines Tages werd' ich mich rächen
Ich werd' die Herzen aller Mädchen brechen
Dann bin ich ein Star
Und du läufst hinter mir her
Doch dann ist es zu spät
Dann kenn' ich dich nicht mehr

Zu spät (zu spät), zu spät (zu spät), zu spät (zu spät)
Doch dann ist es zu spät

Zu spät (zu spät), zu spät (zu spät), zu spät (zu spät)
Dann ist alles viel zu spät

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

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.

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.

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.
