Mmm, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (J-J-J-J.R)
I'm feeling like a star, you can't stop my shine
I'm loving cloud nine, my head's in the sky
I'm solo, I'm riding solo, I'm riding solo, I'm riding solo, solo

Yeah, I'm feeling good tonight, finally doing me and it feels so alright, oh
Time to do the things I like, going to the club everything's alright, oh

No one to answer to
No one that's gonna argue, no
And since I got the hold off me
I'm living life now that I'm free, yeah

Told me to get my together, now I got my together, yeah
Now I made it through the weather, better days are gonna get better
I'm so sorry that it didn't work out
I'm moving on
I'm so sorry but it's over now
The pain is gone

I'm putting on my shades to cover up my eyes
I'm jumping in my ride, I'm heading out tonight
I'm solo, I'm riding solo, I'm riding solo, I'm riding solo, solo
I'm feeling like a star, you can't stop my shine
I'm loving cloud nine, my head's in the sky
I'm solo, I'm riding solo, I'm riding solo, I'm riding solo, solo (yeah)

Now I'm feeling how I should, never knew single could feel this good, oh (this good)
Star player, misunderstood, back in the game, who knew I would, oh (I would)
So fly how I spread my wings, loving myself makes me wanna sing, oh (sing)
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (oh)

Told me to get my together, now I got my together, yeah (yeah)
Now I made it through the weather better days are gon' get better
I'm so sorry (sorry) that it didn't work out
I'm moving on
I'm so sorry (sorry) but it's over now
The pain is gone

I'm putting on my shades to cover up my eyes (my eyes)
I'm jumping in my ride, I'm heading out tonight
I'm solo, I'm riding solo, I'm riding solo, I'm riding solo, solo

I'm feeling like a star, you can't stop my shine
I'm loving cloud nine, my head's in the sky
I'm solo, I'm riding solo, I'm riding solo, I'm riding solo, solo

Riding solo, solo,
I'm riding solo, yeah (solo, solo, solo)
It's like
S-O-L-O (O)
S-O-L-O (O, L, O)
S-O-L-O (O, O)
I'm living my life ain't got stress no more

I'm putting on my shades to cover up my eyes (oh, yeah)
I'm jumping in my ride, I'm heading out tonight
I'm solo, I'm riding solo, I'm riding solo, I'm riding solo, solo

I'm feeling like a star, you can't stop my shine (oh, oh)
I'm loving cloud nine, my head's in the sky
I'm solo, I'm riding solo, I'm riding solo, I'm riding solo, solo
I'm riding solo, I'm riding solo, solo

I'm riding solo, solo
I'm riding solo, solo

    i can't believe no one has commented on this song.

    It's pretty self explanatory, he is finally going out after breaking up with his girlfriend and he is loving it because he can be himself again.

    Its a madd song ;)

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.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Album art
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
