Oh!

Sweet ignorant bliss
I wish
I could kiss
You right on
The fucking mouth

Because I want to forget
Oh yes, I need to forget
That nothing good
Could ever happen
When I trust people

Because no one is perfect
Because the world isn't perfect
And it will never be perfect
And that's perfect

You have to live this life
To sing this song
Let's go!

Why. Don't. You. Come. Here. And. Prove. Me. Wrong?

Why don't you come here
And try to prove me wrong?
'Cause I am a stupid boy
And you are a stupid girl

Why don't you come here
And take me on?

I. Don't. Make. Rules.
I. Just. Break. Rules.

I. Don't. Make. Love.
I. Just.

Oh!

I have seen the price of failure
And it is always high

And looking back on my life
I would have liked it if society
Had gone through the trouble
Of protecting you from me

The only assurance I have
Is my own two hands
The only insurance I have
Is my stupid fans

You have to live this life
To sing this song
Let's go!

Why. Don't. You. Come. Here. And. Prove. Me. Wrong?

Why don't you come here
And try to prove me wrong?
'Cause I am a stupid boy
And you are a stupid girl

Why don't you come here
And take me on?

I. Don't. Make. Rules.
I. Just. Break. Rules.

I. Don't. Make. Love.
We. Just.

Why don't you come here
And try to prove me wrong?
'Cause I am a sexy boy!

Why don't you come here
And try to prove me wrong?
'Cause I am a sexy girl!

Why don't you come here
And try to lead me on?
'Cause I am a stupid boy!

Why don't you come here
And try to play along?
'Cause I am a stupid girl!

Why don't you come here
And try to prove me wrong?
'Cause I am a sexy girl!

Why don't you come here
And try to turn me on?
'Cause I am a stupid boy!

Why don't you come here
And try to play along?
'Cause I am a sexy boy!

Why don't you come here
And try to prove me wrong?
'Cause I am a stupid boy!

Why don't you come here
And try to turn me on?
'Cause I am a stupid boy!

    I think the whole thing is about lust, and the fear of loving someone, or more so the fear of being hurt. He's saying he can't trust people and he want's to be proven wrong, but no one really can. Love never seems to work out for him so he just decides to have go have fun and forget about it all. Hence "why don't you come here and try to turn me on" as opposed to "prove me wrong". He has kinda given up on love but deep down he wants someone to come along and make him believe again. Just my take on it! Found it the other day and love it. It's got a different feel to most of their other tunes. The verses in particular are pretty rad.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
