Action

Whitford/st. Holmes

Yeah, oh yeah

If you've got a love
I'll call up a friend
If you've got some action
You better let me in
If you've got a sweetheart
Keep her locked up tight
If she needs a little loving
I'll be around tonight

I'm feeling kind of lonely
I need someone to hold me
I need some action, yeah
I need some action (Action)
Oh, I need some action (Action)
Yeah, just a reaction

If you've got connections
I'll lend you a dime
I'll pull out all the stops tonight
We're gonna have a good time
I'll fire up my motor bike
I'll polish up my boots
I'm cruising up the strip tonight
Yeah, I'm feeling kind of loose

I'm feeling kind of lonely
I need someone to hold me
I need some action yeah
I need a little action (Action)
Oh, I've gotta have some action (Acton)
Yeah, just a reaction

My body's hot
I need a little satisfaction
Hope I find
A girl vith the same reaction
I can't control myself

I just need a little help
I need some action
Well, baby, I need some action
I've gotta have some action
Oh just a little reaction

My hair's slicked back
My pants stay dry
I'm feeling like a shooting star
My leather's shining in the night
I'm loading up my love gun
I'll put it right between your eyes
And if I find a little girl tonight
You know I aim to satisfy

I'm feeling kind of lonely
I need someone to hold me
I need some action, yeah, you know
I need a little action (Action)
Oh you know
I gotta have some action (Action)
Oh maybe a reaction

I need some action, yeah, you know
I need a little action (Action)
Oh you know
I gotta have some action (Action)
Oh just a reaction
Action, yeah
Oh yeah
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

    This definitely seems to be inspired from "dirty deeds" by ac/dc. I can see it clearly.

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.

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
