"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.
Each and every night
I wish upon the stars
That I will always stay with you
And that nothing and no one
Can tear our love apart
No matter what we may go through
Soon I'll know that my wish has come true
Because...
[chorus:]
Forever in love
With you I'll be
Like the heavens above
For eternity
You will be mind and I will be yours
Our love will last
Forever more
[verse2:]
There's no better way
I'd rather spend my time
Then holding you close
Every day and night for always
To wake and see you in the morning light
Is how I dreamed it could be
For the rest of my days
Soon I'll know that my dream has come true
Because...
[chorus:]
Forever in love
With you I'll be
Like the heavens above
For eternity
You will be mine and I will be yours
Our love will last
[bridge:]
For as long as the sun shines in your eyes
I want you by my side
Forever till the end of time
For as long as the stars keep on shining bright
I want you in my life
For the rest of my days
I will love you always
[chorus to fade]
I wish upon the stars
That I will always stay with you
And that nothing and no one
Can tear our love apart
No matter what we may go through
Soon I'll know that my wish has come true
Because...
[chorus:]
Forever in love
With you I'll be
Like the heavens above
For eternity
You will be mind and I will be yours
Our love will last
Forever more
[verse2:]
There's no better way
I'd rather spend my time
Then holding you close
Every day and night for always
To wake and see you in the morning light
Is how I dreamed it could be
For the rest of my days
Soon I'll know that my dream has come true
Because...
[chorus:]
Forever in love
With you I'll be
Like the heavens above
For eternity
You will be mine and I will be yours
Our love will last
[bridge:]
For as long as the sun shines in your eyes
I want you by my side
Forever till the end of time
For as long as the stars keep on shining bright
I want you in my life
For the rest of my days
I will love you always
[chorus to fade]

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
