You can not hide from me
I will be there
You say that we're nothing
I say you're scared
Do you know what I know
Do you even care
Can you see whats coming baby
It's so crystal clear

Don't you know
This has me more than bleeding
Don't you know
I can not fight this feeling
Don't you go
Can you not hear me screaming no, no

You say that you fear me
Why do you lie
I say that you love me
Must be tonight

Do you know what I know
Do you even care
Can you see whats comin' baby
It's so crystal clear

Don't you know
This has me more than bleeding
Don't you know
I can not fight this feeling
Don't you go
Can you not hear me screaming no, no

And I want you with me right now
And I want you to feel me somehow
And I want to change what you do
And I want you to want me too
And I want you to want me

Don't you know
This has me more than bleeding
Don't you know
I can not fight this feeling
Don't you go
Can you not hear me screaming no, no

Shut you wanted me
Shut up you needed me
Shut up you wanted me
Shut up you do

    This song means so much to me right now. Me and my friend have bene really into eachother but neither of us would admit it, finally we did, we went out for a week, then he told me he never saw me as more than a friend, and now that I have to tell everyone we broke up because of that, they keep telling me what bullshit that was because he would never stop talkin about how much he wanted me. So now I just wanna scream this song at him.

    The main part I forgot! lol....This song seems to just be about someone denying how they feel for someone when its only obvious that they care.

    why don't you sing this song for him?

    Oh and I agree. Saw this on twentyfour seven and I must admit this is one hell of a good band. A lil whiny sometimes but they make up for it.

    My Interpretation

    This is a stalker song, similar to "Every Breath You Take" by the Police, and "Two Steps Behind" by Def Leppard, but scarier than either. At best, it is about a guy who cannot let go of someone after being rejected. At worst, it is about rape or murder.

    You cannot hide From me I will be there You say that we’re nothing I say you’re scared

    Initial establishment of the stalker theme. The victim has denied interest ("You say that we're nothing"), but the stalker has rationalized an alternative explanation ("you're scared") and is committed to keeping tabs on the victim ("You cannot hide from me; I will be there").

    Do you know what I know? Do you even care? Can you see what’s coming, baby It’s so crystal clear

    The stalker is not 100% confident in his rationalization ("Do you even care?") but has a clear vision of the future ("Can you see what's coming, baby; it's so crystal clear"). Whether this vision is of a specific event is less clear, but I postulate that the stalker is planning a crime (see below).

    Don’t you know This has me more than bleeding Don’t you know I cannot fight this feeling Don’t you go Can you not hear me screaming no, no

    The stalker expresses frustration that the victim does not return his interest.

    You say that you fear me Why do you lie? (Why do you lie, lie, lie) I say that you love me Must you deny (deny, deny, deny)

    More rationalization and denials from the stalker.

    Do you know what I know (why do you) Do you even care? (you don’t care) Can you see me coming, baby It’s so crystal clear

    The line "Can you see what's coming" is changed to the more forceful "Can you see me coming," foreshadowing the stalker's future physical assault.

    And I want you with me right now (right now, right now) And I want you to feel me somehow (somehow, somehow) And I want to taste what you don’t (you don’t, you don’t) And I want you to want me too And I want you to want me

    The stalker's frustration boils over and he confronts the victim, confused but likely intending to force the victim to reciprocate one way or another.

    And don’t you know This has me more than bleeding Don’t you know I cannot fight this feeling Don’t you go Can you not hear me screaming no, no

    The chorus becomes even more sinister here, as the stalker's emotional screaming "no, no" could at some level be an emotional response to his own horrific actions.

    Shut up, you wanted me Shut up, you needed me Shut up, you wanted me Shut up, you do

    At the end, anger and denial take over again, either during or shortly after the assault. The stalker needs to quell his intense guilt by asserting that "you wanted me."

    So think twice before you pick this one as "our song," lovers. ;-)

    This song is kinda amazing. although, no one really commented yet.. ha. it pretty much says it all.

    You cannot hide From me I will be there You say that we’re nothing I say you’re scared

    -he is basically saying that he knows she wants to be with him, but shes just scared so she wont admit to it.

    Do you know what I know? Do you even care? Can you see what’s coming, baby It’s so crystal clear

    -now he is starting to wonder if she really cares.. but says it's "crystal clear" or in other words, obvious, how they feel about each other.

    Don’t you know This has me more than bleeding Don’t you know I cannot fight this feeling Don’t you go Can you not hear me screaming no, no

    -he cant fight his love for her, and doesnt want her to leave him. he is afraid that her being scared is going to ruin everything.

    You say that you fear me Why do you lie? (Why do you lie, lie, lie) I say that you love me Must you deny (deny, deny, deny)

    -she always says shes scared, and denies any feelings towards him, he knows that he loves her, and wants her to admit it.

    And I want you with me right now (right now, right now) And I want you to feel me somehow (somehow, somehow) And I want to taste what you don’t (you don’t, you don’t) And I want you to want me too And I want you to want me

    -he is basically telling her that he wants her to come out, n say he she rly feels. he wants her wiht him n to want him too. "i want to taste what you dont," he wants them to be together n she doenst because shes scared.

    Shut up, you wanted me Shut up, you needed me Shut up, you wanted me Shut up, you do

    -hes saying to just be quiet n stop denying everything, bc he knows how she feels about him.

    this song is basically about this guy, knowing this girl and him are supposed to be togehter, and love each other, but the girl is just scared.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
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.

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.

Holiday
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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
