Whatever
Alex Prince Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just like the night
You′d banished me here to stay
I am so far from you
Dragging on
Just like the years I was imprisoned so far away, away
From everyone I knew
And whats the worst you take
"And on the moon you′ll stay"
Well I'll be coming home tonight
What's the worst that I could say
To make you send me away
You love the sunlight
So much for my night
Came a time
When every nightfall would bring me to tears again
The dark
From which you chose to run
And what the worst you take
From the night I′d make
"And on the moon you′ll stay"
Well I'll be coming home tonight
What′s the worst that I could say
To make you send me away
You love the sunlight
So much for my night
How could you carry on this way?
Without me you're doing okay
I′ll be just fine without your sunlight
Can you hear me?
Do you fear me?
You'll pretend
I′m make-believe but then
We'll meet again
When night and day collide
What's the worst that I could say
To make you send me away
You love the sunlight
So much for my night
How could you carry on this way
Without me you′re doing okay
I′ll be just fine without your sunlight.
The lyrics of Alex Prince's song Whatever describe a person who has been banished away from someone he loves and is now yearning to come back. The imagery of being imprisoned and far away from everyone creates a sense of isolation and sadness. The person is trying to come back home but is afraid that the worst could happen and he could be sent away again. The question 'what's the worst that I could say' indicates that he is aware of the consequences of his actions and is taking a chance to come back anyway.
The person being addressed in the song seems to be someone who loves the sunlight and has chosen to run away from darkness. The lyricist feels hurt that he has been left alone in this darkness and the only connection he has with the person he loves is the moon, which he is banished to. The chorus of the song questions how the person could carry on without him and states that he will be just fine without their sunlight. The final lines of the song suggest that the lyricist believes that they will meet again when night and day collide, indicating that their fates are intertwined and they will inevitably come back together.

Long ago
It has been a long time since we were together
Just like the night
Our separation feels as dark and lonely as a night
You’d banished me here to stay
You sent me away and forced me to stay here
I am so far from you
I am terribly distant from you
Dragging on
Time passes by slowly
Just like the years I was imprisoned so far away, away
I feel like I was trapped for many years in this faraway place
From everyone I knew
I am separated from all the people I knew before
And whats the worst you take
What's the worst thing you could take from me?
From the night I'd make
From the darkness that surrounds me
"And on the moon you'll stay"
You will never come back to me
Well I'll be coming home tonight
I will be returning to you tonight
What's the worst that I could say
What's the worst thing I could say to make you reject me?
To make you send me away
To make you force me to leave again
You love the sunlight
I know you prefer the light to the darkness
So much for my night
But what about my feelings and my lonely nights?
Came a time
There was a time
When every nightfall would bring me to tears again
Every nightfall reminded me of you and made me cry
The dark
The darkness which enveloped me
From which you chose to run
You chose to run away from the darkness that came with me
And what's the worst you take
What's the worst thing you could take from me?
From the night I'd make
From the darkness that surrounds me
"And on the moon you'll stay"
You will never come back to me
Well I'll be coming home tonight
I will be returning to you tonight
What's the worst that I could say
What's the worst thing I could say to make you reject me?
To make you send me away
To make you force me to leave again
You love the sunlight
I know you prefer the light to the darkness
So much for my night
But what about my feelings and my lonely nights?
How could you carry on this way?
How could you continue without me?
Without me you're doing okay
You are doing well even without me
I'll be just fine without your sunlight
I do not need your light to survive
Can you hear me?
Are you listening to me?
Do you fear me?
Are you scared of me?
You'll pretend
You will act as if
I'm make-believe but then
You will realize that I am real
We'll meet again
We will see each other again
When night and day collide
When the light and darkness blend
What's the worst that I could say
What's the worst thing I could say to make you reject me?
To make you send me away
To make you force me to leave again
You love the sunlight
I know you prefer the light to the darkness
So much for my night
But what about my feelings and my lonely nights?
How could you carry on this way
How could you continue without me?
Without me you're doing okay
You are doing well even without me
I'll be just fine without your sunlight
I do not need your light to survive

what a pity that her debut album never got a official release even tho it was finished!
Sandra Köhler
Das ist die echte Stimme von Blümchen😍😍😍
DoktorChaos81
Genaugenommen wurde das nie besttigt!
Nasir Tresor
Wer diese Stimme mit der von Jasmin Wagner vergleicht und nicht ganz taub ist, der kann sich denken wer gesungen hat...
DoktorChaos81
Nun, ich hab zumindest mal in ner Disco einen 90er-Happy-Hardcore-Mix gehört und da wurde auch Herz an Herz gespielt, allerdings hatte der DJ das Tempo ein wenig gedrosselt, das Lied war etwas tiefer und somit war die Stimme von Jasmin nicht so hochgepitcht und ich muss sagen, das klang genauso wie ihre Stimme, wenn sie heute singt! Somit ist für mich klar, dass Alex Prince nie die Leadstimme war! Sie sagt ja auch selber, dass sie nur im Backround zu hören ist, aber nie die Stimme von Blümchen war!
Queron81
DoktorChaos81, es geht weniger um die Stimme, zumal wir nicht wissen, inwieweit sie gepitcht und bearbeitet worden ist - dementsprechend wissen wir auch nicht, mit welchen Maßnahmen wir die richtige Stimme hören können. Da könntest du ja fast jede Stimme herausbekommen. Es geht um den Gesang bzw. die Gesangstechniken und die Qualität des Gesangs. Man muss sich nur die englische Version von "Gib mir noch Zeit" anhören, die Jasmin tatsächlich selbst gesungen hat (das hört man auch deutlich) und das mit der deutschen Originalversion vergleichen. Da liegen gesangstechnisch Welten dazwischen.
In diesem Fall hier kann man den Gesang mit dem aus Blümchens "Ganz bald" vergleichen, da die Art des Gesanges (leicht gehaucht) sehr ähnlich ist. Der neueste Song "Computerliebe" wird tatsächlich (als erstmaliger deutscher Blümchen-Song) komplett von Jasmin gesungen, was man auch deutlich hört, obwohl die Stimme auch sehr stark bearbeitet ist (nicht im Sinne von verfremdet, sondern eher mit vielen Effekten versehen).
DoktorChaos81
@Queron81 Nun, im Prinzip kann man darüber diskutieren bis zum Umfallen! Solange dies nicht von Seiten der Macher, der Sängerin usw. nicht bestätigt ist, können wir es nicht wissen! ich glaube einfach mal der Alex Prince, wenn die sagt, dass sie nur Background Stimme war und nie die Stimme von Blümchen!
