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.
Frost in the grass glitters
Dance in it barefoot for awhile
Until it hurts and I'll know it stings
Before turning numb
I guess you win and you lose some
We're at war
Realize this is a heart attack
One nation under attack
Heart is frozen but it's ready to crack
Frostbite biting slow
Turning blood and veins cold
Ice with claws climbing
Upwards my veins
But I will be searching
For a heart that won't get old
We're at war
Realize this is a heart attack
One nation under attack
Heart is frozen but it's ready to crack
Dance in it barefoot for awhile
Until it hurts and I'll know it stings
Before turning numb
I guess you win and you lose some
We're at war
Realize this is a heart attack
One nation under attack
Heart is frozen but it's ready to crack
Frostbite biting slow
Turning blood and veins cold
Ice with claws climbing
Upwards my veins
But I will be searching
For a heart that won't get old
We're at war
Realize this is a heart attack
One nation under attack
Heart is frozen but it's ready to crack

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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
its all fun living the worlds way until it lets you down and it hurts. This song is telling us to realize that our society is attacking our hearts making us cold and hard. Today love and compassion is looked down on. Everything around us tells us to live for yourself and who cares about that homless guy, single pregnant girl, unborn baby with no say, the list goes on and on. Our frozen numb hearts can be cracked wide open by Jesus if you let him. The world makes it easy for us to stay frozen to the suffering around us. It tells us we are better off not feeling the pain that opening your eyes and looking around at the suffering can bring. It is a very easy way out to not care about anyone and look the other way when we see something ugly and pitiful that makes you feel compassion for even a second. Open your heart what are you afraid of? Don't let the things around you harden the beautiful heart inside you. This is a real war that we are fighting. A God of love gave you that loving heart inside of you. Don't be ashamed of the love that Jesus has shown you. Don't be afraid to exercise that same love to all around you. Actions speak louder than words.
