Look at me I'm a speck of sand,
And I'm building ,dreams in a strangers land
Tell me why do I care
Tell me why do I care.

Every time that I'm feeling down, oh they,
Pick me up and they spin me round.
Tell me where do we go,
Tell me where do we go from here.

What are we gonna find out (find out)
What are we gonna find out (find out)
Leave the wilderness, and as long as there's dreams,
Just as long as there's two of us,
Just as long as there's two of us, I'll carry on

Won't you hold me

When is man gonna find out (find out)
When are we gonna find out (find out)
What the universe is just waiting to here,
Just as long as there's two of us
Just as long as there's two of us
Just as long as there's two of us,
We'll carry on.

    Memory

    I remember playing this song on my father's old Paris cassettes but Roger didn't sing the last eight lines. It was over in about 1 minute! It's very philosophical, and I question where I am everytime I hear it.

    This song is about how we see the significant things and compare it to the insignificant things and it becomes a big different. Like how Roger says "Look at me I'm a speck of sand,And I'm building ,dreams in a strangers land Tell me why do I care". He means that why should one person feel like they've made a big difference compare to the other 6 billion people on this planet. And its true, who are we all on Earth ? But as long as there is just you and someone you care about, thats all you truly need.

    I actually thought that "Look at me I'm a speck of sand, And I'm building dreams in a strangers land Tell me why do I care" meant that he is doing something for someone else, he's not doing what he believes he should do. He's building dreams in someone else's land, not in his own, he's living someone else's life and is not quite sure why he does on with the lies... but as long as there's two of us, it doesnt matter, cause that person makes it worth all the shit... probably thought it that way for my personal situation, but it's a possibility, right?

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.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
