In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I crave you.
Said I feel so sweet they compare me to Nestle.
That's why you stay craving Wesley.
Never had a girl that I thought would impress me,
But I just gotta keep it at bay like Chesapeake.
And on the bed she beat until she cardiac
and you be digging down my pants like the artifact
Know I'm always on the move like the army brat
So let me back it up, where the Charlie badge
And my plan in this harley hatch
I just love it when we improvise it
And if you turn around and think she isn't into me
Then imma turn around and say she isn't into guys
So what you do to me, all I really want is you to move with me
All the things you do feelin new to me, cause I want you to act foolishly
Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I stare at you.
Why can't I keep you safe as my own,
One moment I have you and next you are gone.
Say no matter what we do, we gonna, we gonna crave you
No matter what we do, we gonna, we gonna crave you
No matter what we do, we gonna, we gonna crave you
We gonna, we gonna crave you, we gonna, we crave you.
Some stare at me, but you stare through me
This ain't my first time, don't think I'm a newbie
I got a minute let's get in it like a room key
I ain't a player, but I try like Rudie
So all these dudes being judged like Trudie
I threw 'em on my court but they got no claim
We can turn the spread, I do it so clean
As long as I stay fly the rest of you so plain
You can wait until I blow the propane
But I ain't never going to head the rogaine
Find me on the web or ask for the domain
I'm on your doorstep, I'm at you, so lame
So what you do to me, all I really want is you to move with me
all the things you do feelin new to me, cause I want you to act foolishly
Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I stare at you.
Why can't I keep you safe as my own,
One moment I have you and next you are gone.
Say no matter what we do, we gonna, we gonna crave you
No matter what we do, we gonna, we gonna crave you
No matter what we do, we gonna, we gonna crave you
We gonna, we gonna crave you, we gonna, we crave you.
So silly, they saying that they can love me.
No, Chappelle, we gotta wrap it up, B.
She ain't leavin 'til I slay like Buffy.
And we don't mind if it's rough- rugby.
So don't trust me, I came in the room,
Scent so musty she sprayed the perfume.
This is big time like a pay per to view
When a A name winner on the tube
So just, Turn it a little bit up
So credit that they never made a joke about us
It's no kidding, gotta deliver what's rated and such
But no feeling, give the people what they want
Until I make a couple million for you.
Crave you.
They stare at me while I crave you.
Said I feel so sweet they compare me to Nestle.
That's why you stay craving Wesley.
Never had a girl that I thought would impress me,
But I just gotta keep it at bay like Chesapeake.
And on the bed she beat until she cardiac
and you be digging down my pants like the artifact
Know I'm always on the move like the army brat
So let me back it up, where the Charlie badge
And my plan in this harley hatch
I just love it when we improvise it
And if you turn around and think she isn't into me
Then imma turn around and say she isn't into guys
So what you do to me, all I really want is you to move with me
All the things you do feelin new to me, cause I want you to act foolishly
Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I stare at you.
Why can't I keep you safe as my own,
One moment I have you and next you are gone.
Say no matter what we do, we gonna, we gonna crave you
No matter what we do, we gonna, we gonna crave you
No matter what we do, we gonna, we gonna crave you
We gonna, we gonna crave you, we gonna, we crave you.
Some stare at me, but you stare through me
This ain't my first time, don't think I'm a newbie

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
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
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.
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."
