"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.
Ah (toca, toca, toca, toca)
Ah (toca, toca, toca, toca)
Ah (toca, toca, toca, toca)
Tú estás coqueta, yo estoy coqueto
Tú y yo hacemos un buen dueto
Tú eres una loca y yo soy un demente
Contigo me quedo hasta que se me caigan los dientes
Te tengo una propuesta sencilla
Vamos a mezclarnos como pan con mantequilla
Como refrito con guacamole
Bien mezclado, como arroz con frijoles
Nosotros nacimos con las piernas sueltas
Vámonos pa' tras pa' los años ochenta
Pa' cuando Madonna era virgen
Y John Travolta en el piso daba vueltas
Un mundo de colores fluorescentes
Sin preocupaciones en la mente
Yo lo que quiero es un besito tuyo, caliente
Pa' que se desaparezca la gente
Hold me, warm me, touch me
Break the circuitry
Hold me (toca toca toca toca)
Warm me (toca toca toca toca)
Touch me (toca, toca, toca, toca)
Break the circuitry
Por ti yo hago lo que sea
Peleo contra trecientos ninjas en Corea (uh)
Por ti pesco quinientos delfines (uh)
Y cruzo La Cordillera de Los Andes en patines
Wait for a minute, what you're thinkin' that you started? (ajá)
You're the type guy that leaves her broken-hearted (¿qué?)
If you think that you're ready for a dime like this
Spit that clever rhyme on the next remix
Yo no entiendo lo que estás diciendo (uh)
Yo espero que no me estés maldiciendo (uh)
Si tú me dejas y me das permiso (uh)
Podemos tener hasta trillizos
Te quiero hacer volar como Peter Pan (uh)
Por encima del viejo San Juan (uh)
Después te recito treinta serenatas (uh)
Bajo la luz de la luna al la'o de una fogata
Hold me, warm me, touch me
Break the circuitry
Hold me (toca, toca, toca, toca)
Warm me (toca, toca, toca, toca)
Touch me (toca, toca, toca, toca)
Break the circuitry
Yo te traigo música con electromagnetos
Para que muevas todo el esqueleto
Música hecha con buena onda
Para que brinquen como popcorn de microondas
Yo lo que quiero es que pierdan el control
Que fumen y mezclen pepas con alcohol
Todo el mundo salvaje
Welcome to the jungle
Let's get ready to rumble!
Break the code
Free the hold
Within the circuitry of my soul
I can't wait for you to grow
Into the man you'll be when you're old
Aha, you think I'm cold
But I'm just lettin' you know
You can't mess with the woman who's bold
It's now or never before I explode
Homosexuales, lesbianas, bisexuales
Bestialistas, pedofilos, heterosexuales
Bailando el electro movimiento
Para bailar esto no tienes que tener talento
Todo el mundo con el paso del robot
Todo el mundo con el paso del robot
Todo el mundo con el paso del robot
Todo el mundo en la disco bailando, wey
Hold me (toca, toca, toca, toca)

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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
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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
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.
