Noch ein Leben

[silversolitaire]

Inspired by Meimi I give you one of my favorite lyrics. They're of the song "Noch ein Leben" by Pur.

Noch ein Leben - Another life

A cold shiver
Is crawling over my skin
Never erased from memory
Why that night?
What were you thinking?
What wiped away your doubts?
The profound sadness in you
I didn't have a sense for it
Unlike your smile
I overlooked it in the crowd
"Kites Shall Fly" was your favorite song
And that night you made it come true
And started to fly
Without wings, from the 13th floor

You chose your end yourself
Life only tormented you
But was that fair? Wasn't that cowardice?
You give no one a second chance
Only when your last curtain falls
Then the world will lose
Its heart for you
And still I wish you all the best
Wherever you are right now

You were an unprotected aim
For every arrow
Too much emotion for this world
What was the last kick
For that very last step?
Did your lust for death seduce you?
That you'll owe the answer forever
And thus never will chase away the sorrow
Is inconsiderate and hurts the wrong ones
Those who needed you
Too late to show you what you're missing here
How you hope and dream
Can you forgive yourself?
I didn't want to see kites fall, they were supposed to fly

You chose your end yourself
Life only tormented you
But was that fair? Wasn't that cowardice?
You give no one a second chance
Only when your last curtain falls
Then the world will lose
Its heart for you
And still I wish you all the best
Wherever you are right now

I wish you
Another life
Another life
Another life with a fair chance this time

I wish you
Another life
Another life
Another life, but you've only got one chance
