Songtexte die uns bewegen Die Lyric des 20.Jahrhunderts

Dieser Tread ist für Leute die bei der Musik nicht nur auf den Sound, sondern auch auf die manchmal viel zu wenig beachteten Texte hören...
Jedes Lied vermittelt ja eine bestimmte Botschaft, die nicht zuletzt dem Text zu verdanken ist.

Habt ihr ein Lied, welches es euch angetan habt, eine Texststelle, die ihr Tag und Nacht singt?
Dann her damit!

Ich fang gleich mal an:

Marillion mit Kaylei

Do you remember chalk hearts melting on a playground wall
Do you remember chalk hearts melting on a playground wall
Do you remember dawn escapes from moon washed college halls
Do you remember the cherry blossom in the market square
Do you remember I thought it was confetti in our hair
By the way didn't I break your heart?
Please excuse me, I never meant to break your heart
So sorry, I never meant to break your heart
But you broke mine
Kayleigh is it too late to say I'm sorry?
And Kayleigh could we get it together again?
I just can't go on pretending that it came to a natural end
Kayleigh, oh I never thought I'd miss you
And Kayleigh I thought that we'd always be friends
We said our love would last forever
So how did it come to this bitter end?

Do you remember barefoot on the lawn with shooting stars
Do you remember loving on the floor in Belsize Park
Do you remember dancing in stilettoes in the snow
Do you remember you never understood I had to go
By the way, didn't I break your heart
Please excuse me, I never meant to break your heart
So sorry, I never meant to break your heart
But you broke mine

Kayleigh I just wanna say I'm sorry
But Kayleigh I'm too scared to pick up the phone
To hear you've found another lover to patch up our broken home
Kayleigh I'm still trying to write that love song
Kayleigh it's more important to me now you're gone
Maybe it will prove that we were right
Or ever prove that I was wrong

I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
upon my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
beneath the stains of time
the feelings disappear
you are someone else
I am still right here

what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt

if I could start again
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

I hurt myself today

Johnny Cash - Hurt

ARGGGG!

Das Lied ist 12 Jahre alt ist von Trent Reznor, also von der Band Nine Inch Nails. Johnny hat es nur verwendet, der schöne Text ist von Reznor. Johnny hat einzig und alleine im originalen Text einige Kraftausdrücke entschärft.
Es kotzt mich an, jeder dahergelaufene Mitt-30er Radiomoderator denkt, das wäre von Johnny, aber es ist von Trent (nichts für ungut, dein literarischer Geschmack rettet dich vor meinem Todesurteil). Trent! Genauso wie Solitary Man nicht von Johnny ist, auch wenn es gut klingt.

@sodi
Find' ich lustig, dass dich ein Text bewegt, bei dem es offentsichtlich darum geht Minderjährige zu verführen. Gerade DM hat doch soviel tiefere Songs anzubieten als diese doch eher seichten Liedchen.

Higher Love (Depeche Mode)
I can taste more than feel
This burning inside is so real
I can almost lay my hands upon
The warm glow that lingers on

Moved, lifted higher
Moved, my soul's on fire
Moved, by a higher love

I surrender all control
To the desire that consumes me whole

Leads me by the hand to infinity
Lies in wait at the heart of me

Moved, lifted higher
Moved, my soul's on fire
Moved, by a higher love

Heaven bound on the wings of love
There's so much that you can rise above

Moved, lifted higher
Moved, moved, by a higher love
By a higher love

I surrender heart and soul
Sacrificed to a higher goal

Moved, moved by a higher love
By a higher love

C'ya,

Christian
