"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Todo lo que necesites
Sólo yo lo puedo dar
Todo lo que tú quieras
Yo lo tengo
Si necesitas un abrigo
Entre mis brazos estarás
Necesitas un camino
Yo lo pinto
Mi muñeca está llorando
Mi muñeca está
Mi muñeca está llorando
Mi muñeca está
Mi muñeca está llorando
Pero yo no sé porque
Será que no me quiere
No me quiere
Necesitas un amigo
Aquí yo mero estaré
Pero te pido que me mates
Mátame
Mi muñeca está llorando
Mi muñeca está
Mi muñeca está llorando
Mi muñeca está
Mi muñeca está llorando
Mi muñeca está
Mi muñeca está llorando
Mi muñeca está
Sabes quien fue, tal vez porqué ella lloró
Nadie la hizo llorar
Yo la quiero, mas no quiero verla feliz
Nadie la hizo llorar
Nadie la hizo llorar
Nadie la hizo llorar, nadie la hizo llorar, nadie la hizo llorar
Sólo yo lo puedo dar
Todo lo que tú quieras
Yo lo tengo
Si necesitas un abrigo
Entre mis brazos estarás
Necesitas un camino
Yo lo pinto
Mi muñeca está llorando
Mi muñeca está
Mi muñeca está llorando
Mi muñeca está
Mi muñeca está llorando
Pero yo no sé porque
Será que no me quiere
No me quiere
Necesitas un amigo
Aquí yo mero estaré
Pero te pido que me mates
Mátame
Mi muñeca está llorando
Mi muñeca está
Mi muñeca está llorando
Mi muñeca está
Mi muñeca está llorando
Mi muñeca está
Mi muñeca está llorando
Mi muñeca está
Sabes quien fue, tal vez porqué ella lloró
Nadie la hizo llorar
Yo la quiero, mas no quiero verla feliz
Nadie la hizo llorar
Nadie la hizo llorar
Nadie la hizo llorar, nadie la hizo llorar, nadie la hizo llorar

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Punchline

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
ugh, i hate these stinking rip off. They completely stole the Smashing Pumpkins' "Today". the riff, the structure, everything. they have no shame!
I think it's referring to her girlfriend since he says, "Mi muñeca está llorando," (my doll is crying) .
He can also be referring that he's cut his wrist and is bleeding.
Yo pienso que se está refiriendo a su novia que esta llorando.
También se podra estar refiriendo a su muñeca de la mano.
Yeah, I agree with martin..... Well, only about the cutting the wrist.... I am not emo or nothing but PXNDX is a good band... You know, why make a big deal, yeah maybe they stole somethings by others but hey, I like spanish music as much as the next guy but you know.... that's only me... ^^
well its just talking about how a guy likes a girl and she has left him. he is telling her all the wonderful things he has to offer but she denys. then she has realized she left someone special and regrets it (crys).
Pepe wrote dis song wen he was like 16 17 & he said it was about masturbation. haha but since da record label thought it was to explicit he changed da lyrics a lil & made it sound like it was a girl he was talking about instead of his wrist being tired of masturbating
