Achte gut auf diesen Tag,
denn er ist das Leben -
das Leben allen Lebens.

In seinem kurzen Ablauf
liegt all seine Wirklichkeit
und Wahrheit des Daseins,
die Wonne des Wachsens,
die Größe der Tat,
die Herrlichkeit der Kraft.
Denn das Gestern ist nichts als ein Traum
und das Morgen nur eine Vision.

Das Heute jedoch, recht gelebt,
macht jedes Gestern
zu einem Traum voller Glück
und das Morgen
zu einer Vision voller Hoffnung.

Darum achte gut auf diesen Tag.

Rumi

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
And think of you
Caught up in circles confusion
Is nothing new
Flashback warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcases of memories,
Time after

Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear
What you've said
Then you say go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time

After my picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows you're wondering
If I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time

You said go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time

Time after time
Time after time
Time after time

Erich Kästner: Der Juni

Die Zeit geht mit der Zeit: Sie fliegt.
Kaum schrieb man sechs Gedichte,
ist schon ein halbes Jahr herum
und fühlt sich als Geschichte.

Die Kirschen werden reif und rot,
die süßen wie die sauern.
Auf zartes Laub fällt Staub, fällt Staub,
so sehr wir es bedauern.

Aus Gras wird Heu. Aus Obst Kompott.
Aus Herrlichkeit wird Nahrung.
Aus manchem, was das Herz erfuhr,
wird, bestenfalls, Erfahrung.

Es wird und war. Es war und wird.
Aus Kälbern werden Rinder
und, weil's zur Jahreszeit gehört,
aus Küssen kleine Kinder.

Die Vögel füttern ihre Brut
und singen nur noch selten.
So ist's bestellt in unsrer Welt,
der besten aller Welten.

Spät tritt der Abend in den Park,
mit Sternen auf der Weste.
Glühwürmchen ziehn mit Lampions
zu einem Gartenfeste.

Dort wird getrunken und gelacht.
In vorgerückter Stunde
tanzt dann der Abend mit der Nacht
die kurze Ehrenrunde.

Am letzten Tische streiten sich
ein Heide und ein Frommer,
ob's Wunder oder keine gibt.
Und nächstens wird es Sommer.

Eros

Masken! Masken! Dass man Eros blende.
Wer erträgt sein strahlendes Gesicht,
wenn er wie die Sommersonnenwende
frühlingliches Vorspiel unterbricht.

Wie es unversehens im Geplauder
anders wird und ernsthaft...Etwas schrie...
Und er wirft den namenlosen Schauder
wie ein Tempelinnres über sie.

Oh verloren, plötzlich, oh verloren!
Göttliche umarmen schnell.
Leben wand sich, Schicksal ward geboren.
Und im Innern weint ein Quell.


Rainer Maria Rilke


Sooo gut.

I was the third brother of five,
Doing whatever I had to do to survive.
I'm not saying what I did was alright,
Trying to break out of the ghetto was a day to day fight.

Been down so long, getting up didn't cross my mind,
I knew there was a better way of life that I was just trying to find.
You don't know what you'll do until you're put under pressure,
Across 110th Street is a hell of a tester.

Across 110th Street,
Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak
Across 110th Street,
Pushers won't let the junkie go free.
Across 110th Street,
Woman trying to catch a trick on the street.
Across 110th Street,
You can find it all in the street.

I got one more thing I'd like to y'all about right now.
Hey brother, there's a better way out.
Snorting that coke, shooting that dope man you're copping out.
Take my advice, it's either live or die.
You've got to be strong, if you want to survive.

The family on the other side of town,
Would catch hell without a ghetto around.
In every city you find the same thing going down,
Harlem is the capital of every ghetto town.

Across 110th Street,
Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak
Across 110th Street,
Pushers won't let the junkie go free.
Across 110th Street,
A woman trying to catch a trick on the street, ouh baby
Across 110th Street,
You can find it all in the street.
Yes he can, oh

Look around you, just look around you,
Look around you, look around you, uh yeah.

Morrissey N8...
(Oder: Schöner leiden mit Morrissey. [Kaum] K/einer kann's besser. )

Morrissey - Suedehead

Why do you come here?
And why do you hang around?
I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry

Why do you come here...
When you know it makes things hard for me?
When you know, oh...
Why do you come?

Why do you telephone?
And why send me silly notes?
I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry

Why do you come here...
When you know it makes things hard for me?
When you know, oh
Why do you come?

You had to sneak into my room
'Just' to read my diary
Was it just to see, just to see all the things you knew I'd written about you?
And... So many illustrations

I'm so very sickened
Oh, I am so sickened now...

The Smiths - There is A Light That Never Goes Out

Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people
And they're young and alive
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one
Anymore

Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people and I
Want to see life
Driving in your car
Oh, please don't drop me home
Because it's not my home, it's their
Home, and I'm welcome no more

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine

Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last
(But then a strange fear gripped me and I
Just couldn't ask)

Take me out tonight
Oh, take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one, da ...
Oh, I haven't got one

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine

Oh, There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out

Morrissey - You Have Killed Me

Pasolini is me
'Accattone' you'll be
I entered nothing and nothing entered me
'Til you came with the key
And you did your best but

As I live and breathe
You have killed me
You have killed me
Yes I walk around somehow
But you have killed me
You have killed me

Piazza Cavour, what's my life for?

Visconti is me
Magnani you'll never be
I entered nothing and nothing entered me
'Til you came with the key
And you did your best but

As I live and breathe
You have killed me
You have killed me
Yes, I walk around somehow
But you have killed me
You have killed me

Who am I that I come to be here...?

As I live and breathe
You have killed me
You have killed me
Yes I walk around somehow
But you have killed me
You have killed me

And there is no point saying this again
There is no point saying this again
But I forgive you, I forgive you
Always I do forgive you

Ya, you never said a word
you didn't send me no letter
don't think i could forgive you

see, our world is slowly dying
i'm not wasting no more time
don't think i could believe you

ya, you never said a word
you didn't send me no letter
don't think i could forgive you

see, our world is slowly dying
i'm not wasting no more time
don't think i could believe you

ya, our hands will get more wrinkled
and our hair, it will be grey
don't think i could forgive you

and see the children are starving
and their houses were destroyed
don't think they could forgive you

hey, when seas will cover lands
and when men will be no more
don't think you can forgive you

yeah, when there'll just be silence
and when life will be over
don't think you will forgive you

ya, you never said a word
you didn't send me no letter
don't think i could forgive you

see, our world is slowly dying
i'm not wasting no more time
don't think i could believe you

ya, you never said a word
you didn't send me no letter
don't think i could forgive you

see, our world is slowly dying
i'm not wasting no more time
don't think i could believe you

ya, our hands will get more wrinkled
and our hair, it will be grey
don't think i could forgive you

and see the children are starving
and their houses were destroyed
don't think they could forgive you

hey, when seas will cover lands
and when men will be no more
don't think you can forgive you

yeah, when there'll just be silence
and when life will be over
don't think you will forgive you

Lilly Wood & The Prick and Robin Schulz - Prayer in C

In this earth
in this earth
in this immaculate field
we shall not plant any seeds
except for compassion
except for love

~ Rumi

Who let the cat out of the bag?
who told the world that I was older?
Who laughed at all I had?
who said the race was over?

I am a small and gentle man
who carries the world upon his shoulders
kindly lend a helping hand...
Come over

And hold onto me,
hold onto me,
and hold onto me,
hold on

And my behavior is hard to understand
When I'm like a phone with no connection
But I'm still doin' all I can
To try and get me some redemption
And I'm knee deep in sinking sand
Crying out for your attention
Kindly lend a helping hand
For once defy convention

And hold onto me,
hold onto me,
hold onto me,
hold on

And hold onto me,
hold onto me,
hold onto me,
hold on

[Dialogue]
Our task is to transform ourselves,
into awakened multidimensional beings
Thus fulfilling our dream.
The 4th and 5th dimensions to the third.
It is the inner meaning between Earth [?] and Heaven [?]
This sacred magic has already been achieved by many of us.
The nameless others are awakening daily
as the cause steadfastly intensifies.
We are the claiming of divine birthright and heritage
Remembering that we are angels incarnate;
Vast starried beings of light.
We are no longer limited and bound by the illusions of time, space, and matter
We are ready to join as unimensions? of the one
The [?] doorways cannot be opened or passed by any of us
still operating as individual units of consciousness.
They are brought into manifestation from our unified presence;
Through our focused intent;
Through our total commitment to serving a higher purpose.
This is the bridge to an entirely different energy pattern.
It is the step beyond the mound dimensional universe.
It is a journey into the unknown which shall lead us ever closer to home.

Placebo - Hold on to me

Warum nicht?

Die Erleuchtung steckt neben einer leeren Milchtüte
auf einem orangen Tablett im Speisesaal einer Grundschule.
Sie liegt im Gras, in einer Pfütze neben einer rostigen Radkappe.
Sie findet sich auf dem Manschettenknopf am linken Hemdsärmel
eines irgendwie bedeutenden Mannes.

Du findest sie gleich neben dem Fahrstuhl
im vierten Stock des Parkhauses beim Flughafen.

Du kannst deinen Hund nach ihr fragen,
aber er wird dir nichts verraten.

Such nach ihr neben dem Federhalter in deiner Tasche
und auf der roten Weste der Kassiererin im Supermarkt,
aber nur mittwochs.

Die Erleuchtung steckt in dem Schacht gleich hinterm Klo,
sie spricht zu dir durch die
quietschende Türangel in der Stadtbücherei.
Oder aus der Brise, die unhörbar
durch einen unerkannten Baum weht.
Sie ruht in dem Augenblick zwischen Ausatmen und Einatmen.

Du kannst die Erleuchtung in der Kirche finden,
in dem Kratzer auf der Kirchenbank vor dir.

Du findest sie auch in der Wüste,
kurz bevor der Wind wieder auflebt.

Die Erleuchtung ist gar nichts.
Täuschung ist das weit grössere Wunder.
Die Erleuchtung befand sich in deiner Kaffeetasse,
bevor du Kaffee eingeschenkt hast.

Sie ist jetzt in deiner Kaffeetasse.
Zwei Komma zwei Milliarden Jahre,
bevor deine Kaffeetasse hergestellt wurde,
war die Erleuchtung bereits in deiner Kaffeetasse.
Eine Stunde und fünfzehn Minuten,
nachdem die Zeit das Universum verschlungen hat,
wird die Erleuchtung in deiner Kaffeetasse sein.

Stets weißt du, wo sie ist,
nämlich gerade dort, wo du sie hast liegen lassen.
Warum solltest du nicht zurückkehren können an einen Ort,
den du nie verlassen hast?
Du träumst, dass du unerleuchtet bist.
Du träumst, dass du erwacht bist.

Die Frage lautet: Warum?
Die Antwort lautet: Warum nicht?

Björk - Hunter

If travel is searching
and home has been found

i'm not stopping

i'm going hunting
i'm the hunter
i'll bring back the goods
but i don't know when

thought that i could organise freedom
how scandinavian of me
you sussed it out, didn't you?

you could smell it
so you left me on my own
to complete the mission
now i'm leaving it all behind

i'm going hunting
i'm the hunter...

(you just didn't know me!)

(you just didn't know me!)

Herbert Grönemeyer - Bleibt alles anders

Thron über Konvention
Das Leben kommt von vorn
Stehst unter einem hellen Stern
Einem hellen Stern
Verträum Dich in Deinem Traum
Verlaß Dich auf Zeit und Raum
Du gehörst zum festen Kern

Trockne die Tränen
Zieh Deine Kreise
Der stille Weg
Folg dem Sonnenaufgang leise
Tanz den Tanz auf dünnem Eis

Forder das große Gefühl
Durchquer den Hades zum Ziel
Surf auf dem Scheitelpunkt des Lichts
Erwarte viel, lebe für den Transit
Zwing das wahre Geschick
Ein Silberstreif am Horizont

Stell die Uhr auf Null
Wasch den Glauben im Regen
Die Sintflut ist verebbt
Die Sünden vergeben
Kein Ersatz - Deine Droge bist Du, bist Du

Es gibt viel zu verlieren, Du kannst nur gewinnen
Genug ist zuwenig - oder es wird so wie es war
Stillstand ist der Tod, geh voran, bleibt alles anders
Der erste Stein fehlt in der Mauer
Der Durchbruch ist nah

Kommt der Moment, kommt die Zeit
Wasser wird zu Wein
Und die Sekunden bleiben stehen - auf dem Punkt
Zauberer verraten ihre Tricks
Auf allen Würfeln fällt die sechs
Die Limits brechen weg

Monster verkriechen sich, die Schätze gehoben
Du steigst nach unten, du fällst nach oben
Ohne Netz - dein Placebo bist Du, bist Du

Es gibt viel zu verlieren, du kannst nur gewinnen
Genug ist zuwenig - oder es wird so wie es war
Stillstand ist der Tod, geh voran, bleibt alles anders
Der erste Stein fehlt in der Mauer
Der Durchbruch ist nah, der Durchbruch ist nah
Der Durchbruch ist nah
Kein Ersatz - Deine Droge bist Du, bist Du

Es gibt viel zu verlieren, du kannst nur gewinnen
Genug ist zuwenig - oder es wird so wie es war
Stillstand ist der Tod, geh voran, bleibt alles anders
Der erste Stein fehlt in der Mauer
Der Durchbruch ist nah

Es gibt viel zu verlieren, Du kannst nur gewinnen
Genug ist zuwenig - oder es wird so wie es war
Leb den Transit, zwing das wahre Geschick
Durchquer den Hades zum Ziel
Hoffnung als Gegengewicht

Es gibt viel zu verlieren, Du kannst nur gewinnen
Genug ist zuwenig - oder es wird so wie es war

Kissed by Ena Vie

i’ve been kissed
by the burden of bliss
it's pressing down upon my soul
and pushing out remaining ego

i am bound to it
unwound by it
and following through
with a love-glow hue
i cannot resist
its burning grist
no man
no hand
or knock off will do

i’ve been kissed
by the burden of bliss
it's pressing down upon my soul
and pushing out remaining ego

bound for another
instrumental other
soul defying shiver
monumental quiver
bringing me home
to the great, great ONE
it’s beyond ideas
of right and wrong

i’ve been kissed
by the burden of bliss
it's pressing down upon my soul
and pushing out remaining ego

you apprehend me
in a way i cannot resist
your siren song
callin’ me out of the mist
you funk me like no other
burning me out of a twist
i am made whole
the deeper you go

...

Ashes to ashes by Ena Vie

ashes to ashes
dust to dust
we are only here
to discover each one of us
rising high
and then soaring low
we are here to come to know

chorus:
ashes to ashes
dust to dust
we have come here to discover
each one of us
ashes to ashes
dust to dust
it is really each one of us

i drive out in the desert sky
and lay out under the stars
in the dark moonlight
and sometimes the shadows
grow so high
that i see my whole life in hindsight

chorus

driving up to the mountains
i can see the ocean floor
we are both soaring
we’ve seen this all before
now i head on down south
to where my family is
and i remember who i am
and where my shining star lives

chorus

ashes to ashes
dust to dust
i am rising now like a phoenix
and i won't be left in the rust

well the river runs dry tonight
and there's been no rain
for over a fortnight
mountains crumble down
ice caps are melting now
we don't know where we can be found

chorus

this whole is passing quickly by
we are born then live and soon we die
and when we live we know
we’ve got so many things
to see and grow into

ashes to ashes
dust to dust
we are each here to discover the ONE in us
ashes to ashes
dust to dust
we are here to discover
the ONE in us
each one of us

ashes to ashes
dust to dust

Ein sehr schoenes, simples Lied ueber jemanden, der mit dem Fahrrad nach Lhasa faehrt. Chinesischer Kitsch
