I cannot bear this pain anymore
My heart is pinned down to the floor
I feel my body starts to fail
The color of my skin turns to grey
I start to sing my last goodbyes
The tears fill the blood red sky
For I'm the one who stands alone
In the crossroad of the soul

I am the one who stands alone
I am the one who stands alone

Don't cry for me I'm almost gone
My destiny has been undone
When I feel the mind go so numb
Then the darkness has its fun
What can I do to be more strong?
Maybe then I will go home
I'm always two steps away
From the last redemption day

I am always two steps away
I am always two steps away

Now take me
Now break me
Now take my hand and make me see
Now take me
Now break me
Now take my scars and let me bleed
Now take me
Now break me
Now take my heart and let me weep
Now take me
Now break me
Now take my dreams but let me sleep

I cannot bear this pain anymore
My heart is pinned down to the floor
Don't cry for me I'm almost gone
My destiny has been undone
I start to sing my last goodbyes
The tears fill the blood red sky
I'm always two steps away
From the last redemption day

I am always two steps away
I am always two steps away

Now take me
Now break me
Now take my hand and make me see
Now take me
Now break me
Now take my scars and let me bleed
Now take me
Now break me
Now take my heart and let me weep
Now take me
Now break me
Now take my dreams but let me sleep
Now take me
Now break me
Now take my hand and let me see
Now take me
Now break me
Now take my scars and let me leave
Now take me
Now break me
Now take my heart and let me bleed
Now take me
Now break me
Now take my dreams but let me sleep

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
