In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Freedom comes in the morning time
As the sun begins to shine on my face
and even in the dark, I'm not alone.
You guide me by the hand, you won't let go
And I know uou'll carry me when I can't walk
And you can shake the mountains with a whisper
And you, you speak and I fall at your feet again
You burned the chains off of my feet
That held me to the ground
You let me rise, don't ever let me come back down
Or even live a day apart from you
Cause you lifted me higher than my doubts and fears
And you can shake the mountains with a whisper
And you, you speak and I fall at your feet
And you are so beautiful
and I am so in love with you
You, you lead and I will follow close behind
Now I'm waiting here for you
and don't be far away tonight
Lead me to the place where I can go & find rest
Cause I'm so tired
and now let me feel your breath on my face
And you can shake the mountains with a whisper
And you, you speak and I fall at your feet
And you are so beautiful
And I am so in love with you
You, you lead and I will follow close behind
As the sun begins to shine on my face
and even in the dark, I'm not alone.
You guide me by the hand, you won't let go
And I know uou'll carry me when I can't walk
And you can shake the mountains with a whisper
And you, you speak and I fall at your feet again
You burned the chains off of my feet
That held me to the ground
You let me rise, don't ever let me come back down
Or even live a day apart from you
Cause you lifted me higher than my doubts and fears
And you can shake the mountains with a whisper
And you, you speak and I fall at your feet
And you are so beautiful
and I am so in love with you
You, you lead and I will follow close behind
Now I'm waiting here for you
and don't be far away tonight
Lead me to the place where I can go & find rest
Cause I'm so tired
and now let me feel your breath on my face
And you can shake the mountains with a whisper
And you, you speak and I fall at your feet
And you are so beautiful
And I am so in love with you
You, you lead and I will follow close behind

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
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
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
How can you not comment on this song? It's one of the best songs Lifehouse ever did, and one of the greatest I've ever heard. It's talking about none other than God Himself and just how awesome He is and everything that comes along with His awesomeness.
Man... this song is so great! can't believe i only heard it just recently. You can hear the chrisitan side of lifehouse on this track. lyrics definitely about God. I play guitar and im definitely going to learn this.
I know that Lifehouse are a Christian band and obviously have an underlying theme of God in certain songs, I just don't quite see how or why he'd be saying he's "so in love with" God...
However, whatever your interpretation, it's a beautiful song, and I sort of wish I'd heard their old Blyss stuff a long time ago!

not that i don't like lifehouse, but i prefer their older stuff which is cleaner? ..quieter?
This has to be lifehouse's (or Blyss') most under-appreciated song. I just love it, definitely has a christian undertone to it.
