Wingst is a municipality in the district of Cuxhaven, in Lower Saxony, Germany.
Wingst belonged to the Prince-Archbishopric of Bremen, established in 1180. In 1648 the Prince-Archbishopric was transformed into the Duchy of Bremen, which was first ruled in personal union by the Swedish Crown - interrupted by a Danish occupation (1712–1715) - and from 1715 on by the Hanoverian Crown. In 1807 the ephemeric Kingdom of Westphalia annexed the Duchy, before France annexed it in 1810. In 1813 the Duchy was restored to the Electorate of Hanover, which - after its upgrade to the Kingdom of Hanover in 1814 - incorporated the Duchy in a real union and the Ducal territory, including Wingst, became part of the new Stade Region, established in 1823.
The Wingst is a ridge, up to 74 metres high, in northern Lower Saxony, Germany.
The ridge is located in northeast part of the district of Cuxhaven, just a few kilometres south of the mouth of the River Elbe on the North Sea coast, and west of the lower reaches of the Oste between Cadenberge to the north and Hemmoor to the south. It is surrounded by villages in the borough of Wingst. Some distance to the south-southwest of the Wingst is the lake of Balksee; south of which is the Varrel Moor.
The Wingst is a small geest ridge, covered by mixed woods, that was formed by an ice age moraine. It is surrounded by flat, divided marsh and bog landscapes, that are sometimes only 1 metre above sea level. Dolmens situated within the Wingst indicate that there were early settlements in the local area.
The Wingst may be reached via the B 73 federal highway, that grazes the area to the east, as well as its side roads, and also via the Green Coast Road (Grüne Küstenstraße), which passes the ridge to the northwest. The Wingst is crossed by the E9 European long-distance path and also by regional walking trails. The Neuhaus-Bülkau Canal runs in a north-south direction just beyond the western fringes of the Wingst. On the northeastern edge of the Wingst is the Zoo in the Wingst.
Who is this girl?
She's driving in the rain,
And she's listening to the songs,
That she knows will bring her pain.
Reflecting on her life,
Contemplating every move,
She apologizes for all her wrongs,
Even though she's got nothing to prove.
She isn't allowed to be faltered,
She puts others before her,
She has to perfect even though she's the weakest.
She said,
"Do you think I could speak?
Do you think I could breathe?
Lay your head on my chest,
Can you hear my heart beating?"
If you'd only look closer,
You'll see that there's someone she's trying to hide,
If you'd only look sooner,
You'll see that she's suffering inside.
She's trapped between the person she is,
And the person she's supposed to be,
She fakes her smiles and she fakes them so she believes them,
She does what people tell her to,
'Cause she can't make her decisions.
She said,
"Do you think I could speak?
Do you think I could breathe?
Lay your head on my chest,
Can you hear my heart beating?"
If you'd only look closer,
You'll see that there's someone she's trying to hide,
If you'd only look sooner,
You'll see that she's suffering inside.
She's looking forward to holidays,
Because they're the only days that still have meaning.
She said,
"Someone turn off the music,
Can you hear me screaming?"
She said,
"Do you think I could speak?
Do you think I could breathe?
Lay your head on my chest,
Can you hear my heart beating?"
If you'd only look closer,
You'll see that there's someone she's trying to hide,
If you'd only look sooner,
