Raise Your Hands

Tokio Hotel

You think it's all so important
All right, it's what you say again
I know you are more than perfect
Believe and I'll believe you than.
Move back, than moving forward
Okay, there's got to be a way
Stand still, otherwise it's over
run on but don't you run away

My head is full of nothing
see the shadows passing by
one thousand diagnoses
Yeah, yeah, okay

we are here tonight
leave the world aside
I see you shining bright
Raise your hands together
Chaos all around
Why we're going down
Let's stop fearing now
Raise your hands together
All together

You say you can come with me
Don't doubt, don't you dare
Whatever's gonna happen tomorrow
with your plan we're prepared

My head is full of nothing
see the shadows passing by
one thousand diagnoses
Yeah, yeah, okay

we are here tonight
leave the world aside
I see you shining bright
Raise your hands together
Chaos all around
Why we're going down
Let's stop fearing now
Raise your hands together

We are here tonight
Raise your hands together
I see you shining bright
Raise your hands together
Chaos all around
Let's stop fearing now

All right, I'm fine, never mind
we are here tonight
leave the world aside
I see you shining bright
Raise your hands together
Chaos all around
Why we're going down
Let's stop fearing now
Raise your hands together

We are here tonight
I see you shining bright
Raise your hands together
Chaos all around
Raise your hands together
Let's stop fearing now
Raise your hands together

All together
Raise your hands together

    I personally like "Wo sind eure hande" Better. But I think this is about just letting go and having fun at a concert or something We are here tonight --We are at the concert tonight Leave the world outside --Forget all the drama and live for tonight. I see you shinin bright --Bill seeing the fans smiling and clapping and screaming and all that. Raise your hands together --Bill wants to see the fans raise their hands. I think this song was written for the fun at the concert. Its a good song to play live. Us fans go crazy and raise our hands when he sings "Raise your hands together" (:

    Idk, I could be wrong. Just my guess.

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
