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.
Watching the cunt
But before I'm into worries
I do better think fast
Step beyond the legs
Risk self-destruction
One more sucker, waiting
To the wrong turn
To the right direction
Too many fucking gonna turn
Going too fast
When you call me outrageous
As a questioner
No feelings, you destroy me H-A-T-E
We're welcome, we're on this show E-N-D
What the hell was that?
It's a battle name, tied down everything long before
Blaming all the suckers
I don't give fuck
Till they're coming down before I go
Or he's gonna stop me
And when I hear the voice
So you better take care of me now
Knowing that I've always gotta come back
Till the end of life has arrived
Things happen while I grow
No one to catch my fall
Becoming dull is all I know
Resurrection, friend or a foe
No feelings, you destroy me H-A-T-E
We're welcome, we're on this show E-N-D
Gone too fast
I'm caring about the truth
So tell me how
Fuck me sideways
I've been loved before right now
After I've been down
Well if you don't need to
Resurrect a shadow of myself
No feelings, you destroy me H-A-T-E
We're welcome, we're on this show E-N-D
No feelings, you destroy me H-A-T-E
We're welcome, we're on this show
Remember me, seventeen
Come on, get you going, Have I told you I would return
Come on, get you going, gotta get on the way
But the butcher you're allowed to lie
I disapprove my body, eat my dinner
You dull stupid role model, who's about to rock
Everyday another word
While (?)
?
Things happen while I grow
No one to catch my fall
Becoming dull is all I know
Resurrection, friend or a foe
Friend or a foe
But before I'm into worries
I do better think fast
Step beyond the legs
Risk self-destruction
One more sucker, waiting
To the wrong turn
To the right direction
Too many fucking gonna turn
Going too fast
When you call me outrageous
As a questioner
No feelings, you destroy me H-A-T-E
We're welcome, we're on this show E-N-D
What the hell was that?
It's a battle name, tied down everything long before
Blaming all the suckers
I don't give fuck
Till they're coming down before I go
Or he's gonna stop me
And when I hear the voice
So you better take care of me now
Knowing that I've always gotta come back
Till the end of life has arrived
Things happen while I grow
No one to catch my fall
Becoming dull is all I know
Resurrection, friend or a foe
No feelings, you destroy me H-A-T-E
We're welcome, we're on this show E-N-D
Gone too fast
I'm caring about the truth
So tell me how
Fuck me sideways
I've been loved before right now
After I've been down
Well if you don't need to
Resurrect a shadow of myself
No feelings, you destroy me H-A-T-E
We're welcome, we're on this show E-N-D
No feelings, you destroy me H-A-T-E
We're welcome, we're on this show

Becoming dull is all I know
Resurrection, friend or a foe
Friend or a foe

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
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
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.
