Panzermensch

And One

Deine Schritte sind so schön
Tanzen wir das wiedersehen

Unsere Blicke sind so stark
Jeder tanzt wie ich es sage

Schwache Beine bleiben stehen
Panzermensch weitergehen

Feiern wir die Energie
Diese Kraft verschwindet nie

Computer (hey), Maschine (hey), Panzermensch
Geh geradeaus
Geh geradeaus

Computer (hey), Maschine (hey), Panzermensch
Geh geradeaus
Lass es raus

Wir kämpfen um den Siegeszug
Panzermenschen kriegen nie genug
Kriege sind zum Tanzen da
Unsere Freiheit ist so nah

Computer (hey), Maschine (hey), Panzermensch
Geh geradeaus
Geh geradeaus

Computer (hey), Maschine (hey), Panzermensch
Geh geradeaus
Lass es raus

Seid bereit (immer bereit)
Seid bereit (immer bereit)
Seid bereit (immer bereit)

Hier kommt der Panzermensch
Oh, oh, hier kommt der Panzermensch
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, why, why, why, why
(Computer, Maschine) why, why, why

Unsere Körper sind so heiß
Strobofeuer, stolzer Schweiß
Lebe diesen Rythmus aus
Geh geradeaus und lass es raus

Computer (hey), Maschine (hey), Panzermensch
Geh geradeaus
Geh geradeaus

Computer (hey), Maschine (hey), Panzermensch
Geh geradeaus
Lass es raus

Seid bereit (immer bereit)
Seid bereit (immer bereit)
Seid bereit (immer bereit)

Hier kommt der Panzermensch
Oh, oh, hier kommt der Panzermensch
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

    Panzermenschen are the people who do the stompy and walky dance to industrial music. This song is about them. :)

    English Lyrics:

    Your steps are so beautiful. Let's dance the reunion. Our gazes are so strong. Everyone dances how I say. Weak legs stand still. Tank man move on. Let's celebrate the energy. This force will never disappear.

    Computer, Machine, Tank Men Go straight ahead. Go straight ahead. Computer, Machine, Tank Men Go straight ahead Let it out!

    We fight for the victory parade. Tank men never get enough. Wars are there for the dance. Our freedom is so close.

    Computer, Machine, Tank Man Go straight ahead. Go straight ahead. Computer, Machine, Tank Man Go straight ahead Let it out!

    Be ready (always ready) Be ready (always ready) Be ready (always ready)... Here comes the Tank man (Machine) (Computer, Machine)

    Our bodies are so hot Strobe fire, proud sweat Live up these rhythms Go straight ahead and let it out!

    "Seid bereit (immer bereit)" is the chant of the Pioneers, the old East German youth group. So the song is comparing the Panzermenschen and their stompy dance to East German Boy Scouts.

    Whenever a Pioneer troop raises the flag, is addressed as part of a parade or assembly, etc. the troop leader says "Seid bereit", and the kids shout back in unison "Immer bereit!" and do a weird salute thing.

    It's short for the Pioneers' motto "Für Frieden und Sozialismus seid bereit": which means "for peace and socialism, be ready". The leader is saying "Be ready" (like the Scouts' "Be prepared"), and the kids respond "Always ready!"

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.

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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

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.
