Maybe Someday

Splender

And if I gave you the sun
Would you take it home
And if I gave you a gun
Would you feel alone?
And if I bothered you much
Then tell me to walk away

away
Away
Away

throw me a loan to stop all the stones
I would steal you the flesh to sew on you're bones
And if you show me a sign then I'm gonna die for you

for you
For you
For you

and so I have to say

maybe someday
Ill come
Maybe someday
Ill go
I know my way takes me home
Bt there'll be hell to pay

blow all the clothes
They never appear
And if you ever got sad
I would choke on you're tears
So you shud show me the line
I'm standing behind for you

coz I've been a vagrant
Who lives in a basement
And every single day I try to replace it
So show me a sign
And I'm telling you one last time

maybe someday
Ill come
Maybe someday
Ill go
I know my way takes me home
But there'll be hell to pay

maybe someday
Ill come
Maybe someday
Ill go
I know my way takes me home
But there'll be hell to pay

No pain, no blood, no oxygen
No breaks, no cuts, no sentences
No time, no way, to work this in
So where do I begin

so if you gave me a loan
Id give it all back
And if you wanna get stoned
I won't stop you from that

but if you wanna believe
That I got a need for you

for you
For you

that's all I have to say

maybe someday
Ill come
Maybe someday
Ill go
I know my way takes me home
But there'll be hell to pay
But there'll be hell to pay
But there'll be hell to pay
But there'll be hell to pay
Repeat to fade

    This song is tremendous...the build up to the ending is mesmorizing and the way he changes the tone of his voice whne he keeps repeating "but there'll be hell to pay" is especially awesome. The guitar riff that drives the verses and the bridge is one of the best I've ever heard. This is a fairly upbeat song - it really is.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"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.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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
Radiohead
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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
