Miss You

Foster the People

Forget your problems
Lay down and start up
Innocence of what you are
Is what I want
I bring my colors
Drip down and drained out
Tried a million things
But my hearts been shy
Well I hope you try and find me
I'm most tired of pacing
And I know what you want to say
So say it
Forget the words speak it just want to rearrange
So I just say it

Oh
I really miss you
Miss you
Say
Smile at the chance just to see you again
I really miss you miss you say
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Heat stroke this like
Things I think are right
I never knew I could go as far as this
I took your problem greasly forgot him
I know who I had been before I slipped
Oh I want to change it
I will live a life that makes you smile
When I'm done here in long long
Fever is peaking just want to see your face
Oh whatcha say, whatcha say?

Oh yeah
I really
Miss you
Miss you
Say
Smile at the chance to just see you again
I really miss you miss you say
So look at me now
Before I walk away
You might just miss me miss me
One day
Yeah yeah yeah

    "I will live a life that makes you smile when I'm done here and long gone."

    This person's touched bottom. A realization occurs and he's ready for a change. He's willing to do whatever it takes to make that one person smile for him again.

    Once again, another beautiful song by Foster the People.

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.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

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.

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.
