Who do you lie between?
Who has love?
Give it like poppy-seed
Flow in the blood

[Chorus]
I don't want to fight no more
I don't want to see you crying
I don't want an all out war
You get so less dying again and again

You got to let me in
You got to let me in
She's under my skin
She's out of my skin

I'm looking for a scientist
I don't want to live
I'm looking for a dark turn
To get me fixed

[Chorus]

You got to let me in (you got to let me in)
You got to let me in ( you got to let me in)
She's under my skin (she's under my skin)
She's out of my skin (she's out of my skin)

All the trouble I'm in (I the trouble I'm in)
All the trouble I'm in (all the trouble I'm in)
All the trouble I'm in (all the trouble I'm)

All eyes are watching me
A Stranger in this town
I must have lost my way
Since I...took a turn a while ago

These streets
I do not know

Who do you lie between?
Who has your love?

I don't want to fight no more
I don't want to see you crying
I don't want an all out war

You got to let me in (you got to let me in)
You got to let me in ( you got to let me in)
She's under my skin (she's under my skin)
She's out of my skin (she's out of my skin)

All the trouble I'm in (all the trouble I'm in)
All the trouble I'm in (all the trouble I'm in)
All the trouble I'm in (all the trouble I'm in)

All the trouble...
All the trouble...
All the trouble I'm in
All the trouble I'm in

    Song Meaning

    I think it's about someone he cares about but she doesn't feel the same about him, or at least doesn't trust him. No matter how hard he tries, she doesn't let him in, and tell him whats wrong. It just pains him to see her suffering. The harder he tries, the more harder she keeps him away, even though he just wants her to feel better, and it's destroying them both. And it's very difficult for him to let her go, hence "the trouble I'm in".

    My opinion is essentially the same as Daredevil98's — song seems pretty straight forward and heartfelt.

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.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
