"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.
I can't keep pacing...
I need your blood tonight.
[You're so far from me,]
And I'm so weak inside.
Come fly to me.
I'll show you what it's like.
[When the full moon shines,]
We'll stop hearts together.
When we're conjoined at the lips,
I feel alive;
I feel undead.
Pumping new life through these veins,
Holding onto the finest thread.
Take my hand,
Grip it tightly.
[Don't let go.]
I promise pain will pass you silently.
Take my hand,
Grip it tightly.
[Don't let go.]
With your neck,
I'll kiss you violently.
To kiss my lips will leave you cold tonight.
[You'll need my blood,]
And I'll devote my life.
Come fly to me.
I'll show you what it's like.
[When the full moon shines,]
We'll stop hearts together.
It's just like me to attach affection to a second chance.
So pull me any closer,
And I can tell you how it ends.
Take my hand,
Grip it tightly.
[Don't let go.]
I promise pain will pass you silently.
Take my hand,
Grip it tightly.
[Don't let go.]
With your neck,
I'll kiss you violently.
Pull away from this embrace before it's too late.
Pull away from this embrace before...
Take my hand,
Grip it tightly.
I promise pain will pass you silently.
Take my hand,
Grip it tightly.
With your neck,
I'll kiss you violently.
Pull away from this embrace before it's too late
I need your blood tonight.
[You're so far from me,]
And I'm so weak inside.
Come fly to me.
I'll show you what it's like.
[When the full moon shines,]
We'll stop hearts together.
When we're conjoined at the lips,
I feel alive;
I feel undead.
Pumping new life through these veins,
Holding onto the finest thread.
Take my hand,
Grip it tightly.
[Don't let go.]
I promise pain will pass you silently.
Take my hand,
Grip it tightly.
[Don't let go.]
With your neck,
I'll kiss you violently.
To kiss my lips will leave you cold tonight.
[You'll need my blood,]
And I'll devote my life.
Come fly to me.
I'll show you what it's like.
[When the full moon shines,]
We'll stop hearts together.
It's just like me to attach affection to a second chance.
So pull me any closer,
And I can tell you how it ends.
Take my hand,
Grip it tightly.
[Don't let go.]
I promise pain will pass you silently.
Take my hand,
Grip it tightly.
[Don't let go.]
With your neck,
I'll kiss you violently.
Pull away from this embrace before it's too late.
Pull away from this embrace before...
Take my hand,
Grip it tightly.
I promise pain will pass you silently.
Take my hand,
Grip it tightly.
With your neck,
I'll kiss you violently.
Pull away from this embrace before it's too late

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.

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
