To find the strength to carry on
You put the marks into your body
You talk at length how you're alone
And bitch at all the famous parties

Such of a vision of pure loneliness
What an image you profess
Don't you turn and walk away
'cause you're getting me depressed

In hopes you'll never be alone
You bore your cross around your body
It was in bad taste
Immolent and gaudy

Boy, are you familiar?

Your vision of the loneliness
Adds an image to the press
You turn and walk away 'cause you're happily depressed
Inventing your own love loss
You invent your own success
I'm giving you a name boy,
You're poor Role Martyr X

Your visions of the loneliness
Like the ones that predeceased
Return in other ways when you're pleasantly suppressed.
Unlimited in your loneliness
You're a ringer for success
I hope you find your pain,
our poor Role Martyr X

Get your gun!
Get it?
Get your gun!
Get it?
Get your gun!
Get it?
Get your gun!
And get away from me,
Go...

One takes one, get it?
One makes one,
Is it one hates one?
Is it, one eats one.
To think a way for me.

So were the visions of pure loneliness from an image on T.V.?
Don't turn and walk away,
boy, you're depressed so happily
Inventing your own love loss,
Envisioning success
I hope you die of pain, oh, poor Role Martyr X

In your envisionary loneliness
there’s a pattern that repeats;
I really hate to say this;
there’s a similarity.
pontificating loves lost,
He bitches when he’s blessed;
your living is in vain boy,
poor Role Martyr-X

Since I am the most humble
I am the most humble
I am the most humble man in the world

I am the most humble
I am the most humble
I am the most humble man in the world

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
