Spät in der Nacht...

[questionmark]

Schöner Text, Sidewinder.

[Die Niere]

Gut Nacht, Mädels...

[Jugulum]

Kann mir jemand weiterhelfen, ich finde den Text einfach nur typisch Michael Stipe: absolut kryptisch.

Könnte aber auch an der fortgeschrittenen Stunde liegen.

[Sidewinder]

Man kann draus machen was man will...das war ja schon immer die Grundeinstellung dieser Band!
Und in Verbindung mit der Musik macht der Text einfach Sinn...


P.S. Und passend zur Wahl und zum Abschluss des Abends noch was politisches:

R.E.M. - I Wanted To Be Wrong

You know where I come from
you know what I feel
you're Yul Brenner Westworld
reporting from the field.
I threw it into reverse,
made a motion to repeal.
You kicked my legs from under me,
and tried to take the wheel.

I told you I wanted to be wrong,
but everyone is humming a song
that I don't understand.

now I know that the sun has shined on my side of the street.
the basket of America, the weevils and the wheat.
the milk and honeyed congregation, scrubbed and apple-cheeked
salute Apollo 13 from the rattle jewelry seats.

mythology's seductive and it turned a trick on me
that I have just begun to understand.

I told you I wanted to be wrong,
but everyone is humming a song
that I don't understand.

the rodeo is staged, gold circle goat-ropers and clowns.
a rumble in the third act, tie 'em up and burn 'em down.
we're armed to the teeth, born a little breech;
blue-plate special analysts, cells and SUV's

we can't approach the Allies 'cause they seem a little peeved
and speak a language we don't understand.

I told you I wanted to be wrong
but everyone is humming a song
that I don't understand.

[prop up The Omega Man, we're primed for victory,
God gave us the upper hand, there's honor among thieves.
temper it with arrogance, a dash of sad conceit.
the top's down on the T-Bird, we're the children of the free]

storm into the boardroom of the conquering elite.
did you recognize the madman who is shouting in the streets?
destroy the things that I don't understand
destroy the things that I don't understand.

[questionmark]

Noch ein besserer Text, Sidewinder.

So, ich werde dann auch mal den Matratzenhorchdienst antreten. In dem Sinne: Gute Nacht, Jungs...
