Athlete "Best not to think about it"

He sees the flames in her tears sketching on her skin and he knows
That it's come to an end and it's no point pretending it's not
And it's a long way down, a long way down from here
And it's a long way down, a long way down from here

So she smashes the glass and there's blood on her hands and her skirt
There's the wind and a sun, a fresh air in her lungs once again
And it's a long way down, a long way down from here
And it's a long way down, a long way down from here

So he closes his eyes and thinks 'maybe I'll be surprised if I do
I just might fall into another realm and make another home there with you'
And it's a long way down, a long way down from here
And it's a long way down, a long way down from here

It's best not to think about it
Just put your arms around me

It's best not to think about it
Just put your arms around me

It's best not to think about it
Just put your arms around me, oh


"Potts later revealed that the song was inspired by a documentary seen by the singer that traced the moments after the World Trade Center had been attacked and the resulting choice by some people to jump out the windows." ( Kiernan Scrima, 2007)

John Frusciante "God"

So each day would be new I build you to sleep
That's the idea of dying but you'll just have to see
You can do what you want or so you think
But til you stop all your thoughts
you are tied to your surroundings

When the fog spreads out in the rainy season
It comes from my insides
When the thunderous lightning strikes down
You're seeing your real I
People you blaspheme my name
But still I love you still I love you
I love you just the same

I hear all your prayers because I'm each one of you
Creation's not something I did it's something that I do
The reason for the bad is so there'd be such thing as good
Oh I'd do anything for you you all know I would

Be for me
Be for me
Be for me
Before me
Before me
Before me

You know that I try to repair and repay
As life goes by a thousand times it gets a little better
All is belief, All is belief, All is belief, All is belief


Ergreift mich sehr.
Die einzige Art, wie Gott (bis jetzt jedenfalls) für mich akzeptabel ist: Be for me

Alanis Morissette "You owe me nothing in return"

I'll give you countless amounts of outright acceptance if you want it
I will give you encouragement to choose the path that you want if you need it
You can speak of anger and doubts, your fears and freak outs and I'll hold it
You can share your so-called shame filled accounts of times in your life and I won't judge it
(and there are no strings attached to it)

You owe me nothing for giving the love that I give
You owe me nothing for caring the way that I have
I give you thanks for receiving it's my privilege
And you owe me nothing in return

You can ask for space for yourself and only yourself and I'll grant it
You can ask for freedom as well or time to travel and you'll have it
You can ask to live by yourself or love someone else and I'll support it
You can ask for anything you want, anything at all and I'll understand it
(and there are no strings attached to it)

You owe me nothing for giving the love that I give
You owe me nothing for caring the way that I have
I give you thanks for receiving it's my privilege
And you owe me nothing in return

I bet you're wondering when the next payback shoe will eventually drop
I bet you're wondering when my conditional police will force you to cough up
I bet you wonder how far you have now danced you way back into debt
This is the only kind of love as I understand it that there really is

You can express your deepest of truths even if it means I'll lose you and I'll hear it
You can fall into the abyss on your way to your bliss I'll empathize with
You can say that you have to skip town to chase your passion and I'll hear it
You can even hit rock bottom have a mid-life crisis and I'll hold it
(and there are no strings attached)

You owe me nothing for giving the love that I give
You owe me nothing for caring the way that I have
I give you thanks for receiving it's my privilege
And you owe me nothing in return

"This is the only kind of love as I understand it that there really is" ...es klingt so schön und so einfach - in der Theorie...
