Ein Lied, das mich musikalisch und inhaltlich sehr berührt.
Der Text ist gruselig, das Wort mag salopp klingen, aber ich meine es ganz ernst, es schaudert mich vor Erschütterung.
Erzählt wird von einem Mann und einer Frau in den Twin Towers des WTC am 11. September 2001, die vor den Flammen nur noch den Sprung in die Tiefe als Ausweg sehen.
Athlete "Best not to think about it" http://youtu.be/BSWEiZGNhrI"He sees the flames in her tears
Sketching on her skin and he knows
That it's COME to an end
And it's no point pretending it's not
And it's a long way down, a long way down from here
And it's a long way down, a long way down from here
So she smashes the glass
And there's blood on her hands and her skirt
There's the wind and a sun,
A fresh air in her lungs once again
And it's a long way down, a long way down from here
And it's a long way down, a long way down from here
So he closes his eyes
And thinks 'maybe I'll be surprised if I do
I just might fall into another realm
And make another home there with you'
And it's a long way down, a long way down from here
And it's a long way down, a long way down from here
It's best not to think about it
Just put your arms around me
It's best not to think about it
Just put your arms around me
It's best not to think about it
Just put your arms around me, oh"
