Songtexte stimmen mich oft nachdenklich. Hier stellen sich mir folgende Fragen:
Empfindet ihr es als wichtig, nach eurem Tod etwas zu hinterlassen?
Erscheint es nicht irgendwie "egoistisch", sich zu wünschen, dass man "vermisst" wird, weil damit schließlich negative Gefühle der Angehörigen verbunden sind? Oder ist Erinnerung für euch etwas Schönes, etwas Bleibendes, das erst negativ wird, wenn es mit negativ angehauchten Begriffen wie "vermisst" beschrieben wird?
Gehören nicht all die positiven wie auch als negativ erachteten Teile einer Person zusammen und machen die Person erst zu dem, was sie ist?
Und zu guter Letzt: Benötigt man die bewusste Hilfe anderer, um zu einer nachhaltig erinnerten Persönlichkeit zu werden?
"Leave Out All The Rest"
I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen
'Cause no one else cared
After my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I'm done here?
So if you're asking me
I want you to know
[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed
And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
Don't be afraid
I've taken my beating
I've shared what I've made
I'm strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I've never been perfect
But neither have you
So if you're asking me
I want you to know
[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed
Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
Forgetting all the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well
Pretending someone else can come
And save me from myself
I can't be who you are
[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed
Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
Forgetting all the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well
Pretending someone else can come
And save me from myself
I can't be who you are
I can't be who you are
