Sandra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Have you been?
How long, have you been so close?
You must
be real
When you talk, you can make me feel so cool
You want
You wish
To take my dreams away
I like
Your style
The way you speak gives wings to my mind
I know
You’re light
You shine, and I must stay behind
This is the reason why
Still the reason why
This is the reason why you stay
This is the reason while you play
And I stay
And I will
But you steal my light at night
Who dares
not me
Who dares to tell you that I’m still free
I am confused ‘bout the reason why
You make me cool and you make me cry
You feel strong with the reason why
I’m feeling cool although you make me cry
We know
We are me
The lyrics to Sandra's song We in 2-3 seem to explore the feelings of someone who is infatuated with another person. The chorus, "This is the reason why, still the reason why, this is the reason why you stay, this is the reason while you play, and I stay, and I will, but you steal my light at night" suggests that the person being sung to is somehow keeping the singer captive in some way. This could be interpreted as the feeling of being held hostage by someone's charisma or power, unable to escape their allure.
The verses capture the singer's ambivalent feelings quite well. They describe the object of their affection as "real" and "cool," but also seem to resent them for wishing to "take [their] dreams away." The line "I know you're light, you shine, and I must stay behind" further reinforces the idea that the singer is being eclipsed by this person's power. The final lines, "We know we are me" are particularly interesting in that they suggest a kind of merging or symbiosis between the two individuals. The singer is both drawn to and repelled by this person, unable to escape their orbit.
Some possible interpretations of this song could include themes of codependency, emotional manipulation, or obsession. It's possible that the singer is describing a toxic relationship where they feel trapped and unable to leave. However, another interpretation could be that they are simply exploring the complex feelings that often accompany infatuation or crushes.

Days in blue
An' nights in fever
Fall in Chinatown
Flames an' light
A silent fire
Not a single sound
Who used to cry for love
Time an' time again
I used to cry for some love tonight
An' we'll be together
With a little luck a little luck
We'll be comin' out of the dark
Say you will
Say you'll come my way
An' this means forever
With a little luck a little luck
We'll be comin' out of the dark
Say you will
Say you'll come
Night is cold
An' moon is flashin'
In a lonesome dance
I don't care
Cause you're beside me
I can take my chance
It's like a wave
That touched my skin
An' I'll let you stay
We'll be together

Летом 1989г. я прибыл служить в Берлин офицером, вскоре пала стена и у меня появились возможности в выходные дни посещать дискотеке в Европа Центр на Кудамме. Я постоянно слушал радиостанцию RIAS2 и смотреть музыкальные клипы в телепередаче Formula1 и слушать и видеть новые песни и клипы Сандры.
В 1993г. я уволился из армии, вернулся в Москву и продолжил свою деятельность уже... в шоу-бизнесе.
В 2х тысячных годах привозил с выступлениями в Россию многих звёзд 80х годов, в том числе из Германии, но, к сожалению, ни разу не привез Сандру, о чём конечно сожалею
