Oh we should burn this city
And find an easy way out.
Oh when you dance you're pretty.
No time for turning around

I, I, I!
I don't know what time the world ends.
God damn sure!
Ain't far from now...

So won't you tell me the answer
If you don't want this
It's not a natural disaster
Just a kiss, one kiss
It's just a (woah)
It's just a (woah)
And nobody needs to know
If you don't want me to go.

Oh we should burn this city
Leave them to tear it down
Slap on your dancing boots
Get down and head south bound.

I, I, I!
I don't know what time the world ends
God damn sure!
Ain't far from now...

So won't you tell me the answer
If you don't want this
It's not a natural disaster
Just a kiss, one kiss
It's just a (woah)
It's just a (woah)
And nobody needs to know
If you don't want me to go

Wooah
Wooah
Wooah
Wooah
Wooah
Wooah
Wooah
Wooah
Wooah

I, I, I!
I don't know what time the world ends
God damn sure!
Ain't far from this...

So won't you tell me the answer
If you don't want this
It's not a natural disaster
Just a kiss, one kiss
It's just a (woah)
It's just a (woah)
And nobody needs to know
If you don't want me to go.

Your seem so...

    I'm pretty sure I stuffed up the lyrics because I was going by what I could hear.._____. I hate living in Australia 'cause there is no access to good music.

    .> I've discussed this with a friend and we both think this is about a suicide bomber who has a girlfriend/boyfriend/mate who doesn't want him to do it, and he's telling them to get away before he does bomb it. Then again, no one really knows who Zero Cipher is, or most of their fans don't come on here. <.<

    I think your meaning is pretty close, but you've got a few of the words wrong which is what has thrown you off.

    I think it's the chorus which is different to how you've got it;

    "I, I, I, don't know what time the world ends / God Damn Sure! / It ain't far from now...so won't you

    Tell me the answer if you don't want this it's not a natural disaster just a kiss, one kiss, it's just a (woah), it's just a (woah) and nobody needs to know, if you don't want me to go, then say so"

    So, with that in mind, if I've got it right (and it's always kinda difficult to hear with Zero Cipher sometimes), I think it's about something unrequited, or maybe impossible (like, he/she is in love with someone that is taken, or dead, or of a different religion, or in another country). So, the suicide bomber is saying 'If you kissed me I wouldnt go and do this, and no-one would ever find out'.

    Personally I like to think its about a muslim who is in love with a non-muslim but cant let anyone find out or it would be trouble for them. But that's just my idea. Great song!

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.

Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
