I hope you know I swear to god
I hope you know that this won't stop
(god damn, just another heartbreak)

-CHORUS-
I swear to god I won't stop until your shakin
-trust me baby you know I want you to-
And let me slide into you please baby
-and if you're screamin, than I'm screamin too-
If you want it let me bring it, let me sneak into your house tonight

-breathe in-
And I'm coming to these terms that my heart won't beat anymore
-I just can't get it-
Sing along sing if you want, ten more seconds till we're through the door.
And it's a dance party everyone's looking for, been drinkin tonight and I won't stop, when it's a quarter to four daylight is breakin

-CHORUS-

I'll call you in the morning if you think it's right
Is it over? is it over...
It was a dance party, everyone looked just right, I played you all night, would you believe me if I told you that I want you, and everyday I felt this way? would you take me to the place you know the one that leaves me all alone... wait right here just for a minute we'll talk a little just about it
I will take it slow, I won't let you go.

-CHORUS-

    It's not about rape. It is about sex, but the end it says he has feelings for her.

    Read the whole thing and figure it out, its not that hard.

    On another note, this is an amazing band to see live. I loved that show

    its not about a lot of sex just one incident at a party he hooks up with a girl and is trying to tell her that he actually has feelings for her and he doesn't want it to be a one night stand

    Ok, so it's about sex... but u need 2 look deeper into it and not just look at the obvious. Its about how at the "right time" you can feel as if ur in love with someone and u have so much lust for them that u feel that u will do anything to be with them, when most of the time its not actually love that u r feeling... its the desire to please yourself.

    It's about sex. A lot of sex. They were at a party and everyone's been drinking a lot, and they end up hooking up. "Sing along if you want; ten more seconds then we're through [the door.]" And "And if you're screaming, I'm screaming too." It means, when he knows she's turned on or whatever, he's turned on, too, and when she's feeling pleasure, so is he. The last verse: "I'll call you in the morning if you think it's right. Is it over? Is it over... (ect)" symbolizes when the party is over and everyone leaves, or when they stop. He either still wants her, or he thinks he feels more. Personally, the first sounds more reasonable.

    fight off yer demons. i agree with you about the party scene. seems like during the party everyone is hookin up. so at first the guy thinks its just another girl to hook up with for the one last stand. after the party he regrets taking advantage of her and wants it to be more than just another hook-up relationship. he feels alot for this girl and can't get it out of his head.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
