Long lives the fear
We'll be forgotten
It's a sad sad world we're in
To not believe something
And we'll stop the world from falling
Just to stay alive
And I say don't ask me why
Do I disbelieve, tell me

Everyone is telling us
Something's wrong with us
Everyone is saying
We're lost somehow
I wanna know
Do you believe in something
Everyone seems to have lost themselves

I just need a sign
That we have found one voice
Cause it's a mad mad world I see
To end up with nothing
So we fight for what is right
With no compromise
And I say please ask me why
I believe in living, tell me

Everyone is telling us
Something's wrong with us
Everyone is saying
We're lost somehow (oh)
I wanna know
Do you believe in something
Everyone seems to have lost themselves

    so you accidentally posted the lyrics to "away from here" haha so I think these are the words to "everyone"...I am going just by ear

    long lives a fear we'll be forgotten it's a sad, sad world we're in to not believe something and you'd stop the world from falling just to stay alive and you say, don't ask me why do I disbelieve tell me

    everyone's telling us something's wrong with us everyone's saying we're lost somehow I want to know do you believe in something everyone's seem to have lost themselves

    I just need a sign that we have found one voice it's a mad, mad world I see to end up with nothing so we fight for what is right with no compromise and say, please ask me why I believe in living tell me

    everyone's telling us something's wrong with us everyone's saying we're lost somehow I want to know do you believe in something everyone's seem to have lost themselves (in the end?)

    a beautiful song. it's about that life will end someday and maybe you want to be remembered, you want to have a lasting voice. it's about people thinking there is something wrong with gay people, like religious people thinking gays are lost or something. and she's singing this to someone who wants to give up. but this song is about believing in love and fighting for your rights as a human, using your voice..what i think. (:

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.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
