Родина

Боже, сколько лет я иду, но не сделал и шаг.
Боже, сколько дней я ищу то, что вечно со мной,
Сколько лет я жую вместо хлеба сырую любовь,
Сколько жизни в висок мне плюет
Вороненым стволом долгожданная да-a-аль !

Черные фары у соседних ворот,
Люки, наручники, порванный рот.
Сколько раз, покатившись, моя голова
С переполненной плахи летела сюда, где

Родина.
Еду я на родину,
Пусть кричат -- уродина,
А она нам нравится,
Хоть и не красавица,
К сволочи доверчива,
Ну, а к нам -- тра-ля-ля -ля...

Боже,
сколько правды в глазах государственных шлюх !
Боже,
сколько веры в руках отставных палачей !
Ты не дай им опять закатать рукава,
Ты не дай им опять закатать рукава
Суетливых ночей.

Черные фары у соседних ворот,
Люки, наручники, порванный рот.
Сколько раз, покатившись, моя голова
С переполненной плахи летела сюда, где

Родина. Еду я на родину,
Пусть кричат -- уродина,
А она нам нравится,
Спящая красавица,
К сволочи доверчива,
Ну, а к нам -- ...

Из-под черных рубах рвется красный петух,
Из-под добрых царей льется в рты мармелад.
Никогда этот мир не вмещал в себе двух --
Был нам богом отец, ну а чертом --

Родина. Еду я на родину,
Пусть кричат -- уродина,
А она нам нравится,
Спящая красавица,
К сволочи доверчива,
Ну, а к нам -- ...

Motherland

My God
For how many years have I been walking
And I haven�t made a single step

My God
For how many days have I been looking
For what is always with me

For how many years have I been chewing
Instead of bread on raw love

How many lives at my temple
Does a burnished steel shaft spit �
The long-awaited vastness

Black headlights in the neighboring yard
Hatchways, handcuffs, torn mouth
How many times did my head
Roll off the overflowing guillotine
And flew here, where is �

Motherland
I�m going to the Motherland
Let them shout it�s ugly
But we like it all the same
So it�s not a beauty
So trustful to scum, but to us �
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la�.
Hey, boss !

My God
How much truth in the eyes of the government whores
How much faith in the hands of the fired executioners
Please don�t let them roll up their sleeves again
Please don�t let them roll up the sleeves
Of eventful nights

Black headlights in the neighboring yard
Hatchways, handcuffs, torn mouth
How many times did my head
Roll off the overflowing guillotine
And flew here, where is �

Motherland
I�m going to the Motherland
Let them shout it�s ugly
But we like it all the same
A sleeping beauty
So trustful to scum, but to us �
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la�.
Hey, boss!

From under black shirts bursts a red rooster
From under kind czars marmalade pours into mouths
Never has this world had room for both �
Father was our god, and our devil �

Motherland,
I�m going to the Motherland
Let them shout it�s ugly
But we like it all the same
A sleeping beauty
So trustful to scum, but to us �
Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la�.
Heeeey, boss!

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
