The crowd will rise sky will fall
A flash of light to bury us all (whoa)
Cause we are a time bomb
The ashes rain and hide the sun
Of every remains is what we've done
Cause we are a time bomb (whoa)
Just letting this time go on and on and on and on

Underneath this sky we'll rise and fall
'til our way of life is gone
Underneath it all time still goes on and on and on and on and on

Oh whoa

A new empire to wear the crown
What we desire will carry us down (whoa)
Cause we are a time bomb
A life destroyed a culture lost
One little boy will measure their cause (whoa)
Cause we are a time bomb (whoa)
Just waiting as time goes on and on and on and on

Underneath this sky we'll rise and fall
'til our way of life is gone
Underneath it all time still goes on and on and on and on and on
Time goes on
Time goes on
Yeah time goes on
Yeah

Now lives will be drawn (lives will be drawn)
In the faded memory of
The lives come and gone
But time still goes on
A new day will dawn (a new day will dawn)
And die beneath this sun
For lifetimes to come
Time carries on

Underneath this sky we'll rise and fall
'til our way of life is gone
Underneath it all time still goes on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on
On and on and on and on
Yeah
Cause time goes on
Yeah time goes on

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Magical
Ed Sheeran
