Absolution (Songtext)
Dies hier ist tatsächlich mal ein Song, den ich für und über eine reale Person geschrieben habe. Lange Zeit war er für mich quasi eine Hymne, die mir wirklich geholfen hat eine ziemlich miese Situation zu verarbeiten.

(Strophe 1)
I guess I never said before
That I don’t hate you anymore.
I thought you got this straight by now
I’m not about to act a show.
I don’t want you to analyse
You act as if you're oh-so wise.
In fact you really don’t know well,
Just as I don’t know , but still:
(Refrain)
I don’t need your absolution
I don’t need you to love me
This is my private revolution
Without you I’m finally free.
(Strophe 2)
I guess, I played a foolish game
But on your side it was the same.
- And when I saw this had no use
I just attacked with no excuse.
I tried to be as mean as hell
And bring you down, before I fell.
Maybe I don't have such skill.
So it did not really work, but still:
(Refrain)
I don’t need your absolution
I don’t need you to love me
This is my private revolution
Without you I’m finally free.
(Strophe 3)
When you first said you hate me
- My style and personality –
I do admit I was quite shocked,
But I can’t say that my life stopped.
I acted like I felt the same
That was not true, I am to blame.
I acted harsh against your will.
I feel ashamed for that, but still:
(Refrain)
I don’t need your absolution
I don’t need you to love me
This is my private revolution
Without you I’m finally free.
(Bridge)
Oh, and you don’t know how I feel
With all this hate and love I seal.
Feelings got lost inside my head.
I’m stuck inside myself. I'm mad.
(Strophe 4)
You want to see my deep devotion,
I’m far away from that emotion.
We were just too different.
That’s why we are in this dead end.
We did not share a single dream.
We never acted as a team.
You made me feel like I could kill.
I may be too cruel, but still:
(Refrain)
I don’t need your absolution
I don’t need you to love me
This is my private revolution
Without you I’m finally free.
(Strophe 5)
When you said all hope was gone,
I did not fight and did not run.
I should have seen we both were blind.
I tried to be as life - unkind.
You will not even understand
If I reach out, you’d chop my hand.
So I guess, I was afraid aswell.
I tried to forgive you, but still:
(Refrain)
I don’t need your absolution
I don’t need you to love me
This is my private revolution
Without you I’m finally free.
