The hardest part is letting go of your dreams.
[My Chemical Romance – Sleep]
you’re on my heart just like a tattoo.
Just like a tattoo, I’ll always have you.
I’ve never made a bet but we gamble with desire,
I’ve never lit a match with intent to start a fire,
but recently the flames are getting out of control.
I don’t need easy, I just need possible
[Film: Soul Surfer]
She’s got her ticket.
I think she’s gonna use it.
I think she’s going to fly away.
She knows where her ticket takes her.
She will find her place in the sun.
[Tracey Chapman – She’s got her ticket]
Wer täglich Trübsal bläst,
dem geht auch schnell die Puste aus.
[Jennifer Rostock – Wasser bis zum Hals]
Wir ließen unsere Wünsche steigen
so wie Drachen, nur ohne Schnur.
Wollten wir später danach greifen,
griffen wir ins Leere nur.
[Jennifer Rostock – Insekten im Eis]
We never gonna survive unless
we are a little crazy.
[Seal – Crazy]
I can’t keep myself, and still keep you too.
So I keep in mind, when I’m on my own,
somewhere far from home in the danger zone:
How many times did it take for I finally got through.
[Kanye West – Love Lockdown]
No more wasting time, you can’t wait for life
which is wasting time.
[Kanye West – Love Lockdown]
Looking back at a life on the other side,
I realize that I didn’t fit in.
Didn’t hate it but I didn’t quite relate it
to my precious little world.
[All Time Low – The Reckless and The Brave]
Got a van, got a chance, got my dignity.
Got a dream, got a spark, got somewhere to be.
Take a breath, say goodbye.
[All Time Low – The Reckless and The Brave]
It doesn’t matter how many breaths it will take,
just how many moments took your breath away.
It doesn’t matter how many times you cried,
just how many reasons you find to smile.
It doesn’t matter how many times you fall,
just as long as you get up standing tall.
It doesn’t matter if the world don’t care what you do,
just as long as it’s the world to you.
[Stefanie Heinzmann – Diggin‘ in the dirt]
You’re on a different road, I’m in the milky way
You want me down on earth but I am up in space.
[Icona Pop – I love it]
I’m not too sure how I’m supposed to feel
or what I’m supposed to say.
I’m not, not sure, not too sure how it feels
to handle every day.
[Silverchair – Miss you love]
I’m so scared to give away
every little secret that I hide behind.
I wonder what it would be like
if I told you that’s its just a front
to hide the insecurities I have.
[Jason Walker – What if I told you]
Ay amor, fue una tortura perderte
pero no solo de pan vive el hombre
y no de excusas vivo yo.
[Shakira – La tortura]
Some say that time changes,
best friends can become strangers.
But I don’t want that, no, not for you.
If you just stay with me, we can make it through.
[Good Charlotte – Say Anything]
I guess it felt a little bit better
when we were still arguing about it,
‚cause in the words I could still hear love.
Somebody still cared.
[Frank Ocean- Try]
If you can dream it, you can do it.
[Walt Disney]
And the stars fell out of the sky
and my tears rolled into the ocean.
Now I’m looking for a reason why.
[Sam Sparrow – Black & Gold]
And if you’re homesick,
give me your hand and I’ll hold it.
[Birdy – People, help the people]
You can’t break my spirit,
it’s my dreams you take.
[James Blunt – Goodbye My Lover]
And we can’t go back,
it won’t be the same,
forever changed by the things we’ve seen.
[Good Charlotte – The world is black]
Back home
I always thought I wanted so much more,
now I’m not too sure.
‚Cause sometimes
I miss knowing someone’s there for me
and feeling free.
[Yellowcard – Back home]
And sometimes I need someone to say:
„You’ll be alright. What’s on your mind?“
[Yellowcard – Back home]
Sew this up with threads of reason and regret,
so I will not forget.
I will not forget how this felt one year six months ago.
I know I cannot forget. I cannot forget.
[Yellowcard – One Year, Six Months]
It’s easy to forget, sometimes we just forget.
[Yellowcard – One Year, Six Months]
It’s time to let go of everything we used to know,
ideas that strengthen who we’ve been;
it’s time to cut ties.
Tell me what good is saying that you’re free
in a dark and storming sea, chained to your history
you’re surely sinking fast.
[Patrick Park – Life is a song]
Maybe life is a song but you’re scared to sing along.
And we build our house of cards and then we wait for it to fall.
Always forget how strange it is just to be alive at all.
[Patrick Park – Life is a song]
You would crawl and you would swim
as long as you keep moving on
just to experience something new.
[Cargo City – Point of View]
I won’t suffer, be broken, get tired, or wasted,
surrender to nothing, or give up what I started.
A new day is coming, and I am finally free.
I would have kept you, forever, but we had to sever.
It ended for both of us.
[30 Seconds To Mars – The Attack]
People always say :
This has gone too far but
I’m not afraid to chase my dreams.
And no one may ever know
this feeling inside my mind.
So maybe I should get a nine to five
but I don’t want to let it go,
there’s so much more to life.
Tell me that I’ve got it wrong,
tell me everything will be okay before I fall.
I’m sure that I’ll find my way
‚cause I’m not afraid to try.
[Tom Dice – Me and my guitar]
„Wohin reist du, Herr?“
„Ich weiß es nicht“, sagte ich,
„nur weg von hier. Immerfort weg von hier,
nur so kann ich mein Ziel erreichen.“
„Du kennst also dein Ziel?“, fragte er.
„Ja“, antwortete ich, ich sagte es doch:
„Weg-von-hier, das ist mein Ziel.“
[Franz Kafka – Der Aufbruch]
Sometimes when everything’s turned to crap,
we want to show it on the outside too.
But the problem is … the big problem is,
it’s not good for morale. If you hide
in a baggy grey fleece every day,
believe me, it’s much harder for things
to get better again.
Maybe the best piece of advice I can give you
is to dress for how you want to feel again. Because
then it will happen more quickly.
[Carmen Reid – The Personal Shopper]
I tried to be perfect but nothing was worth it.
I don’t believe it makes me real.
[Sum41 – Pieces]
The use of traveling
is to regulate imagination by reality,
and instead of thinking how things may be,
to see them as they are.
[Samuel Johnson]
To awaken quite alone in a strange town
is one of the pleasantest sensations in the world.
[Freya Stark]
All journeys have secret destinations
of which the traveler is unaware.
[Martin Buber]
Twenty years from now
you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do
than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover.
[Mark Twain]
In 20 Jahren wirst du enttäuschter sein über die Dinge,
die du nicht getan hast, als über die, die du getan hast.
Also, Leinen los, verlass den sicheren Hafen,
fange die Winde mit deinen Segeln.
Erforsche. Träume. Entdecke.
[Mark Twain]
Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star?
One without a permanent scar,
and did you miss me while
you were looking for yourself out there?
[Train – Drops of Jupiter]
Life is no ‘brief candle’ to me.
It is sort of a splendid torch
which I have a hold of for the moment,
and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible
before handing it over to future generations.
[Gearge Bernard Shaw]
There’s a side to you that I never knew.
When laying with you I could stay there,
close my eyes, feel you here forever.
You and me together, nothing is better.
[Adele – Set Fire to the Rain]
There’s nothing wrong with loving who you are,
‚cause he made you perfect, babe.
I’m beautiful in my way
‚cause God makes no mistakes.
Don’t hide yourself in regret,
just love yourself and you’re set.
[Lada Gaga – Born this way]
You got a fast car
And I want a ticket to go anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
And finally see what it means to be living.
[Tracy Chapman – Fast car]
And your arm felt nice wrapped ‚round my shoulder,
and I had a feeling that I belonged,
and I had a feeling I could be someone.
[Tracy Chapman – Fast car]
Stell dich mit mir in die Sonne
oder geh mit mir ein kleines Stück.
Ich zeig dir meine Wahrheit
für einen Augenblick.
[Ich und Ich – Stark]
And every night I miss you
I can just look up
and know the stars are
holdin‘ you, holdin‘ you, holdin‘ you tonight.
[FM Static – Tonight]
Oh, and life ain’t always what you
think it ought to be, no.
[The Band Perry – If I die young]
A penny for my thoughts,
oh, no I’ll sell them for a dollar.
They’re worth so much more
After I’m a goner.
Funny when you’re dead
how people start listening.
[The Band Perry – If I die young]
I can’t live my life like you,
gotta live it up while life goes on.
And I think it’s alright that I do
what I like ‚cause that’s the way I wanna live.
[Green Day – J.A.R.]
If you could see inside my head
then you’d start to understand
the things I value in my heart.
[Green Day – J.A.R.]
Gotta make a plan, gotta do what’s right,
can’t run around in circles if you wanna build a life.
But I don’t wanna make a plan for a day far away,
while I’m young and while I’m able all I want to do is…
[Green Day – J.A.R.]
Our only responsibility in this life
is to live the life we were meant to live,
to find our destiny and live our dreams.
When we’re on the right path
the wrong doors will close,
the right doors will open,
the moon and the stars will align
and our passion will guide us.
Listen to your soul, your destiny is waiting.
[Unknown]
So I’ll just say what you won’t say
and I’ll take the blame, if it’s for your sake.
No turning back on what you can’t save.
[James Blunt – So far gone]
So viel kaputt, so vieles nicht.
Jede der Scherben spiegelt das Licht.
So viel kaputt, aber zwischen der Glut,
zwischen Asche und Trümmern war irgendwas gut.
[Wir sind Helden – Kaputt]
Es ist okay, jeder soll fliehen, der kann
Wenn du den Fluchtwagen fährst, schnall dich an.
Es ist okay, jeder soll helfen, der kann.
Wenn du die Scherben aufliest, zieh dir Handschuhe an.
[Wir sind Helden – Kaputt]
If you ever lost a light before, this one’s for you.
And you, the dreams are for you.
[P. Diddy – Coming Home]
Is a house really a home
when your loved ones are gone?
[P. Diddy – Coming Home]
Ich will da sein, wenn die Zeit gefriert.
Ich will da sein, wenn sie explodiert.
Und wenn sich dabei mein Verstand verliert,
ich will da sein. Wenn es passiert.
[Wir sind Helden – Wenn es passiert]
Life’s like an hourglass, glued to the table,
no one can find the rewind button.
[Anna Nalick – 2a.m.]
There’s a light at each end of this tunnel,
you shout ‚cause you’re just as far in as you’ll ever be out.
[Anna Nalick – 2a.m.]
2 AM and I’m still awake, writing a song,
if I get it all down on paper it’s no longer inside of me,
threatening the life it belongs to.
[Anna Nalick – 2a.m.]
And I feel like I’m naked in front of the crowd
‚cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
and I know that you’ll use them however you want to.
[Anna Nalick – 2a.m.]
I can’t sleep beside a stranger now.
[James Blunt – So far gone]
„My darling“, she said at last, are you sure
you don’t mind being a mouse for the rest of your life?“
„I don’t mind at all“, I said. „It doesn’t matter
who you are or what you look like
so long as somebody loves you.“
[Roald Dahl – The Witches]
I drink to remember, I smoke to forget
some things to be proud of, some stuff to regret.
So I kiss goodbye to every little ounce of pain,
light a cigarette and wish the world away.
I got out, I got out, I’m alive and I’m here to stay.
So I hold two fingers up to yesterday.
[Jake Bugg – Two fingers]
The future’s near but never certain.
[Chase Coy / Dear Juliet – If the moon fell down tonight]
Life was here to be lived
and risks needed to be taken.
It was the only way.
[Jill Mansell – A walk in the park]
… but they didn’t have to live her life
and they couldn’t begin to understand
how it felt to be her.
[Jill Mansell – A walk in the park]
But at the time it didn’t feel corny and ridiculous.
When you love someone that much,
you just want to … commemorate the occasion.
[Jill Mansell – A walk in the park]
You can’t force someone else to change their mind.
They have to want to do it for themselves.
[Jill Mansell – A walk in the park]
