La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la

Walking past you through the hall.
Stopping by to give you a call.
We've been through it all.

Talking at you saying our goodbyes.
Cant belive that we are leaving.
This is the end for us all.

Yeah Yeah Ohhh

And how do we say our goodbyes?
Do we laugh or cry?
And why does this have to be so hard?

Yeah Yeah Ohh

And how do we say our goodbyes?
Do we laugh or cry?
And do I just say Goodbye.
Should I laugh or cry?

La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la

Everything has just disappered into the air.
I barley got to say goodbye.
Best Friends Forever thats what we use to say.
Now everything is flying away.

And How do we say our goodbyes?
Do we laugh or cry?
And why does this have to be so hard?

Yeahh

And how do we say our goodbyes?
Do we laugh or cry?
And do I just say goodbye?
Should I laugh or cry?

I just wish that everything was the same.
Now all the memories floating away.
And how do we say our goodbyes?
Do we laugh or cry?
And why does it have to be so hard?

And how do we say our goodbyes?
Do we laugh or cry?
And do I just say goodbye.
Should I laugh or cry?

    i heard it on the radio the other day and its insane how similar it is to a past situation of mine. to me, its about a love and how even though you dont want to, you have to leave him. you dont know when or where you'll see him again. you don't know how to say goodbye to someone that special.

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.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
