One more Light ist für mich Chester Benningtons Abschiedsalbum bei Linkin Park. Aus mehr als einer Zeile kann man dort herauslesen, dass er seinen Abgang schon geplant hatte. Es lässt (nicht nur) mich endlos traurig zurück, dass ein so unglaublich guter Sänger und Songwriter mit dem Leben nicht mehr klar gekommen ist. Aber auf der anderen Seite kann ich es auch nachfühlen, da ich selbst lange Zeit schlimm an Depressionen und Angstzuständen gelitten habe und mich davon noch immer nicht vollständig befreit sehe!

1. Song:

Nobody can save me

I'm dancing with my demons

I'm hanging off the edge

Storm clouds gather beneath me

Waves break above my head

Headfirst hallucination

I wanna fall wide awake now

You tell me it's alright

Tell me I'm forgiven, tonight

But nobody can save me now

I'm holding up a light

I'm chasing out the darkness inside

'Cause nobody can save me

Stared into this illusion

For answers yet to come

I chose a false solution

But nobody proved me wrong, no

Headfirst hallucination

I wanna fall wide awake

Watch the ground giving way now

You tell me it's alright

Tell me I'm forgiven, tonight

But nobody can save me now

I'm holding up a light

I'm chasing out the darkness inside

'Cause nobody can save me

Been searching somewhere out there

For what's been missing right here (I wanna fall wide awake now)

I've been searching somewhere out there

For what's been missing right here

I wanna fall wide awake now

So tell me it's alright

Tell me I'm forgiven, tonight

And only I can save me now

I'm holding up a light

Chasing out the darkness inside

And I don't wanna let you down

But only I can save me

Been searching somewhere out there

For what's been missing right here

2. Song

Good Goodbye

So say goodbye and hit the road

Pack it up and disappear

You better have some place to go

'Cause you can't come back around here

Good goodbye

(Don't you come back no more)Live from the rhythm, it's

Something wild, venomous

Enemies trying to read me

You're all looking highly illiterate

Blindly forgetting if I'm in the mix

You won't find an equivalent

I've been here killing it

Longer than you've been alive, you idiot

And it makes you so mad

Somebody else could be stepping in front of you

And it makes you so mad that you're not the only one

There's more than one of you

And you can't understand the fact

That it's over and done, hope you had fun

You've got a lot to discuss on the bus

Headed back where you're from

So say goodbye and hit the road

Pack it up and disappear

You better have some place to go

'Cause you can't come back around here

Good goodbye

Good goodbye

Good goodbye

Good goodbye

(Wooh!)

Goodbye, good riddance

A period is after every sentence

Did my time with my cellmate

Maxed out so now we finished

Every day was like a hail date

Every night was like a hailstorm

Took her back to my tinted windows

Showin' out, she in rare form

Wings up, now I'm airborne

King Push, they got a chair for him

Make way for the new queen

The old lineup, where they cheer for 'em

Consequence when you ain't there for him

Were you there for him?

Did you care for him?

You were dead wrong

(Don't you come back no more)

So say goodbye and hit the road

Pack it up and disappear

You better have some place to go

'Cause you can't come back around here

Good goodbye

Good goodbye

(Don't you come back no more)

Good goodbye

Good goodbye

(Don't you come back no more)

Yo

Let me say goodbye to my demons

Let me say goodbye to my past life

Let me say goodbye to the darkness

Tell 'em that I'd rather be here in the starlight

Tell 'em that I'd rather be here where they love me

Tell 'em that I'm yours this is our life

And I still keep raising the bar like

Never seen a young black brother in the chart twice

Goodbye to the stereotypes

You can't tell my kings we can't

Mandem we're linking tings in parks

Now I got a tune with Linkin Park

Like goodbye to my old hoe's

Goodbye to the cold roads

I can't die for my postcode

Young little Mike from the Gold Coast

And now I'm inside with my bro bro's

Gang

So say goodbye and hit the road

Pack it up and disappear

You better have some place to go

'Cause you can't come back around here

Good goodbye

Good goodbye

(Don't you come back no more)

Good goodbye

Good goodbye

(Don't you come back no more)

Eine Kerze möchte ich auch anzünden für: Meinen Vater, meinen Bruder, meine beiden Großmütter, meine Tante und meine Cousine, sowie einige Kollegen. Auch haben mich fast alle meine Freunde verlassen...aber zumindest leben die noch...

3. Song

Talking to myself

Tell me what I've gotta do

There's no getting through to you

The lights are on but nobody's home

(Nobody's home)

You say I can't understand

But you're not giving me a chance

When you leave me, where do you go?

(Where do you go?)

All the walls that you keep building

All this time that I spent chasing

All the ways that I keep losing youThe truth is, you turned into someone else

You keep running like the sky is falling

I can whisper, I can yell

But I know, yeah I know, yeah I know

I'm just talking to myself

Talking to myself

Talking to myself

But I know, yeah I know, yeah I know

I'm just talking to myself

I admit I made mistakes

But yours might cost you everything

Can't you hear me calling you home?

Oh, all the walls that you keep building

All this time that I spent chasing

All the ways that I keep losing you

The truth is, you turned into someone else

You keep running like the sky is falling

I can whisper, I can yell

But I know, yeah I know, yeah I know

I'm just talking to myself

Talking to myself

Talking to myself

Yeah I know, yeah I know, yeah I know

I'm just talking to myself

All the walls that you keep building

All this time that I spent chasing

All the ways that I keep losing you

The truth is, you turned into someone else

You keep running like the sky is falling

I can whisper, I can yell

But I know, yeah I know, yeah I know

I'm just talking to myself

I'm talking to myself

I'm talking to myself

Yeah I know, yeah I know, yeah I know

Talking to myself

Danke an Ralf, Mathias, Stefan und Hans, dafür, dass ihr eine Zeit lang an meiner Seite gewesen seid.

4. Song

Battle Symphony

I got a long way to go

And a long memory

I been searching for an answer

Always just out of reach

Blood on the floor

Sirens repeat

I been searching for the courage

To face my enemies

When they turn down the lights

I hear my battle symphony

All the world in front of me

If my armor breaks

I'll fuse it back together

Battle symphony

Please, just don't give up on me

And my eyes are wide awake

For my battle symphony

For my battle symphony

They say that I don't belong

Say that I should retreat

That I'm marching to the rhythm

Of a lonesome defeat

But the sound of your voice

Puts the pain in reverse

No surrender, no illusions

And for better or worse

When they turn down the lights

I hear my battle symphony

All the world in front of me

If my armor breaks

I'll fuse it back together

Battle symphony

Please, just don't give up on me

And my eyes are wide awake

If I fall, get knocked down

Pick myself up off the ground

If I fall, get knocked down

Pick myself up off the ground

When they turn down the lights

I hear my battle symphony

All the world in front of me

If my armor breaks

I'll fuse it back together

Battle symphony

Please, just don't give up on me

And my eyes are wide awake

For my battle symphony

For my battle symphony

Never to forget: Carrie Fisher, Helmut Schmidt, Winnie & Nelson Mandela, Diana Spencer, Mahatma Gandhi, Liz Taylor, Marylin Monroe und natürlich Siddhartha Gautama besser bekannt als Buddha...ausserdem all die anderen Menschen, die zu Lebzeiten Herz und Verstand bewegt haben!

5. Song

Invisible

I've got an aching head

Echoes and buzzing noises

I know the words we said

But wish I could've turned our voices down

This is not black and white

Only organized confusion

I'm just trying to get it right

And in spite of all I should've done

I was not mad at you

I was not trying to tear you down

The words that I could've used

I was too scared to say out loud

If I cannot break your fall

I'll pick you up right off the ground

If you felt invisible

I won't let you feel that now

Invisible, invisible

Invisible, invisibleYou didn't get your way

And it's an empty feeling

You've got a lot to say

And you just want to know you're being heard

But this is not black and white

There are no clear solutions

I'm just trying to get it right

And in spite of all I should've done

I was not mad at you

I was not trying to tear you down

The words that I could've used

I was too scared to say out loud

If I cannot break your fall

I'll pick you up right off the ground

If you felt invisible

I won't let you feel that now

Invisible, invisible

Invisible, invisible

This is not black and white

There are no clear solutions

I'm just trying to get it right

And in spite of all I should've done

I was not mad at you

I was not trying to tear you down

The words that I could've used

I was too scared to say out loud

If I cannot break your fall

I'll pick you up right off the ground

If you felt invisible

I won't let you feel that now

Invisible, invisible

Invisible, invisible

Invisible, invisible

Invisible, invisible

An dieser Stelle nun die perfekte Symmetrie meiner 9 gesammelten LP-Alben:

6. Song

Heavy

I don't like my mind right now

Stacking up problems that are so unnecessary

Wish that I could slow things down

I wanna let go but there's comfort in the panic

And I drive myself crazy

Thinking everything's about me

Yeah, I drive myself crazy

'Cause I can't escape the gravity

I'm holding on

Why is everything so heavy?

Holding on

So much more than I can carry

I keep dragging around what's bringing me down

If I just let go, I'd be set free

Holding on

Why is everything so heavy?

You say that I'm paranoid

But I'm pretty sure the world is out to get me

It's not like I make the choice

To let my mind stay so fucking messy

I know I'm not the center of the universe

But you keep spinning 'round me just the same

I know I'm not the center of the universe

But you keep spinning 'round me just the same

I'm holding on

Why is everything so heavy?

Holding on

So much more than I can carry

I keep dragging around what's bringing me down

If I just let go, I'd be set free

Holding on

Why is everything so heavy?

I know I'm not the center of the universe

But you keep spinning 'round me just the same

I know I'm not the center of the universe

But you keep spinning 'round me just the same

And I drive myself crazy

Thinking everything's about me

Holding on

Why is everything so heavy?

Holding on

So much more than I can carry

I keep dragging around what's bringing me down

If I just let go, I'd be set free

Holding on

Why is everything so heavy?

Why is everything so heavy?

Why is everything so heavy?

Rest In Peace

7. Song

Sorry for now

Watching the wings cut through the clouds

Watching the raindrops blinking red and white

Thinking of you back on the ground

There with a fire burning in your eyes

I only halfway apologized

And I'll be sorry for now

That I couldn't be around

Sometimes things refuse to go the way we planned

Oh, I'll be sorry for now

That I couldn't be around

There will be a day that you will understand

You will understand

After a while you may forget

But just in case the memories cross your mind

You couldn't know this when I left

Under the fire of your angry eyes

I never wanted to say goodbye

So I'll be sorry for now

That I couldn't be around

Sometimes things refuse to go the way we planned

Oh, I'll be sorry for now

That I couldn't be around

There will be a day that you will understand

You will understand

Yeah, stop telling 'em to pump the bass up

Tried to call home but nobody could wait up

Switch your time zones can't pick the pace up

I just passed out by the time you wake up

Best things come to those who wait

And it's bound to get rough on any road you take

But don't you ever have a doubt and make no mistake

I can't wait to come back when I'm going away

So I'll be sorry for now

That I couldn't be around

There are things we have to do that we can't stand

Oh, I'll be sorry for now

That I couldn't be around

There will be a day that you will understand

Oh, I'll be sorry for now

That I couldn't be around

There are things we have to do that we can't stand

(Things we have to do that we can't stand)

Oh, I'll be sorry for now

That I couldn't be around

There will be a day that you will understand

You will understand

You will understand

You will understand

Eine große Kerze für alle Kämpfer, die ihr Leben in die Waagschale geworfen haben für die Rechte der Tiere, der Menschen im Allgemeinen, der Schwulen und der Kinder im Besonderen.

8. Song

Halfway Right

I scream at myself when there's nobody else to fight

I don't lose, I don't win, if I'm wrong, then I'm halfway right

Used to get high with the dead end kids

Abandoned houses where the shadows lived

I never been higher than I was that night

I woke up driving my car

I couldn't see then what I see right now

The road dissolving like an empty vow

Couldn't remember where I'd been that night

I knew I took it too far

All you said to do was slow down

I remember

Now I remember

All you said to do was slow down

But I was already gone

I scream at myself when there's nobody else to fight

I don't lose, I don't win, if I'm wrong, then I'm halfway right

I know what I want, but it feels like I'm paralyzed

I don't lose, I don't win, if I'm wrong, then I'm halfway right

Halfway right

Told me "Kid, you're going way too fast

You burn too bright, you know you'll never last"

It was bullshit then, I guess it makes sense now

I woke up driving my car

Said I'd lose you if I lost control

I just laughed because what do they know?

Here I am standing all alone

Because I took it too far

All you said to do was slow down

I remember

Now I remember

All you said to do was slow down

But I was already gone

I scream at myself when there's nobody else to fight

I don't lose, I don't win, if I'm wrong, then I'm halfway right

I know what I want, but it feels like I'm paralyzed

I don't lose, I don't win, if I'm wrong, then I'm halfway right

Halfway right

But I was already gone

I scream at myself when there's nobody else to fight

I don't lose, I don't win, if I'm wrong, then I'm halfway right

But I was already gone

I scream at myself when there's nobody else to fight

I don't lose, I don't win, if I'm wrong, then I'm halfway right

Lasst uns das Leben feiern! Wo seid ihr Lebenden, wenn man euch braucht?

9. Song

One more Light

Should've stayed, were there signs, I ignored?

Can I help you, not to hurt, anymore?

We saw brilliance, when the world, was asleep

There are things that we can have, but can't keep

If they say

Who cares if one more light goes out?

In the sky of a million stars

It flickers, flickers

Who cares when someone's time runs out?

If a moment is all we are

We're quicker, quicker

Who cares if one more light goes out?

Well, I do

The reminders, pull the floor from your feet

In the kitchen, one more chair than you need, oh

And you're angry, and you should be, it's not fair

Just 'cause you can't see it, doesn't mean it, isn't thereIf they say

Who cares if one more light goes out?

In a sky of a million stars

It flickers, flickers

Who cares when someone's time runs out?

If a moment is all we are

Or quicker, quicker

Who cares if one more light goes out?

Well, I do

Who cares if one more light goes out?

In a sky of a million stars

It flickers, flickers

Who cares when someone's time runs out?

If a moment is all we are

Or quicker, quicker

Who cares if one more light goes out?

Well, I do

Well, I do

10. Song

Sharp Edges

Mama always told me don't you run

"Don't you run with scissors, son

You're gonna hurt someone"

Mama told me look before you leap

Always think before you speak, and watch the friends you keep

Stay along the beaten path, never listened when she said

Sharp edges have consequences, I

Guess that I had to find out for myself

Sharp edges have consequences, now

Every scar is a story I can tell

Should've played it safer from the start

Loved you like a house of cards

Let it fall apart

But all the things I couldn't understand

Never could've planned

They made me who I am

Put your nose on paperbacks

Instead of smoking cigarettes

These are years you're never getting backStay along the beaten path, never listened when she said

Sharp edges have consequences, I

Guess that I had to find out for myself

Sharp edges have consequences, now

Every scar is a story I can tell

We all fall down

We live somehow

We learn what doesn't kill us makes us stronger

We all fall down

We live somehow

We learn what doesn't kill us makes us stronger

Stay along the beaten path, never listened when she said

Sharp edges have consequences, I

Guess that I had to find out for myself

Sharp edges have consequences, now

Every scar is a story I can tell

We all fall down

We live somehow

We learn what doesn't kill us makes us stronger

We all fall down

We live somehow

We learn what doesn't kill us makes us stronger
