"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.
Cuanto más he de esperar
Cuánto más he de buscar
Para poder encontrar
La luz que sé que hay en mí
He vivido en soledad
Rodeado de multitud
Nunca he conseguido amar
Pues no me quiero ni yo
Oh, oh, mmm
Cuando veas una estrella fugaz
Guárdala en tu corazón
Es el alma de alguien que consiguió
Dar a los suyos su amor
Cuando oigas a un niño preguntar
¿Por qué el sol viene y se va?
Dile "porque en esta vida no hay
Luz sin oscuridad"
Si eres capaz de devolver
Con una sonrisa una traición
Si eres capaz de dar tu mano a quien
Con la suya te señaló
No eches raíces en un sitio, muévete
Pues no eres un árbol, para eso tienes dos pies
El hombre más sabio es el que sabe que su hogar
Es tan grande como pueda imaginar
Cuando veas una estrella fugaz
Guárdala en tu corazón
Es el alma de alguien que consiguió
Dar a los suyos su amor
Cuando oigas a un niño preguntar
¿Por qué el sol viene y se va?
Dile "porque en esta vida no hay
Luz sin oscuridad"
El mejor día es en el que el alma tiene hambre y sed
No olvides lo aprendido, no dejes de comprender
Rodéate de buenos y tú lo parecerás
Rodéate de sabios y algo en ti se quedará
El mejor día es en el que el alma tiene hambre y sed
No olvides lo aprendido, no dejes de comprender
Rodéate de buenos y tú lo parecerás
Cuando veas una estrella fugaz
Guárdala en tu corazón
Es el alma de alguien que consiguió
Dar a los suyos su amor
Cuando oigas a un niño preguntar
¿Por qué el sol viene y se va?
Dile "porque en esta vida no hay
Luz sin oscuridad"
Cuando veas una estrella fugaz
Guárdala en tu corazón
Es el alma de alguien que consiguió
Dar a los suyos su amor
Cuando oigas a un niño preguntar
¿Por qué el sol viene y se va?
Dile "porque en esta vida no hay
Luz sin oscuridad"
Yeah
No, no hay bien sin mal
Luz sin oscuridad
Cuánto más he de buscar
Para poder encontrar
La luz que sé que hay en mí
He vivido en soledad
Rodeado de multitud
Nunca he conseguido amar
Pues no me quiero ni yo
Oh, oh, mmm
Cuando veas una estrella fugaz
Guárdala en tu corazón
Es el alma de alguien que consiguió
Dar a los suyos su amor
Cuando oigas a un niño preguntar
¿Por qué el sol viene y se va?
Dile "porque en esta vida no hay
Luz sin oscuridad"
Si eres capaz de devolver

Si eres capaz de dar tu mano a quien

Pues no eres un árbol, para eso tienes dos pies
El hombre más sabio es el que sabe que su hogar
Es tan grande como pueda imaginar
Cuando veas una estrella fugaz
Guárdala en tu corazón
Es el alma de alguien que consiguió
Dar a los suyos su amor
Cuando oigas a un niño preguntar

El mejor día es en el que el alma tiene hambre y sed

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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
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."
