Für mich spielen Texte oft eine sehr wichtige Rolle, auch wenn ich mittlerweile immer mehr Instrumentalmusik (vor allem im Elektro und Industrial/Ambient Bereich) stehe. Ich knall einfach mal ein paar rein.
Welche Lyrics haben euch persönlich etwas oder sogar sehr viel zu bedeuten? Ob das nun tiefsinnige Gedanken oder einfach klare (oder auch stumpfe
) Aussagen sind - egal. Marillion "Blind Curve":
...
I see black flags on factories
Soup ladies poised on the lips of the poor
I see children with vacant stares, destined for rape in the alleyways
Does anybody care, I cant take any more!
Should we say goodbye?
...
I see priests, politicians
The heroes in black plastic body-bags under nations flags
I see children pleading with outstretched hands, drenched in napalm, this is no vietnam
I cant take any more, should we say goodbye
How can we justify?
They call us civilized!
Marillion "Childhood´s End" (Fish ist wirklich ein großartiger Texteschreiber)
And it was morning
And I found myself mourning, for a childhood that I thought had disappeared
I looked out the window
And I saw a magpie in the rainbow, the rain had gone Im not alone
I turned to the mirror, I saw you, the child, that once loved
The child before they broke his heart
Our heart, the heart that I believed was lost
...
So I see its me, I can do anything
And Im still the child
cos the only thing misplaced was direction
And I found direction
There is no childhoods end
Fish "Vigil in a wilderness of mirrors"
...
And you sit there and talk revolution
But can you tell me just who's in command?
When you tell me the forces we're fighting
Then I'll join you and gladly make plans
But for now only our t-shirts cry freedom
And our voices are gagged by our greed
Our minds are harnessed by knowledge
By the hill and the will to succeed
And if that's not what you believe
Would you just let me know
I'm not standing alone
That I'm not just a voice in the crowd...
Ach, da gibts noch n Haufen mehr, aber das sind die, die mir gerade als erstes in den Kopf schießen...
