"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.
Yes, baby doll, feel it?
Feel it fine!
Ooh baby, baby...
Give you anything your heart desires
It's my soul intention to have(?) your affection
'Cause you're the one who sets my world on fire
And I want you in my world forever
There ain't no mountain too high
For me to climb it for you baby, no
There ain't no ocean too wide
To ever stop this love of mine
And if you want the moon wrapped up
And brought by there right to your door
I would find a way
I would find a way to get it
I've been the world to you and if that won't do
Then I do something more
I would find a way
I would find a way, baby
Na na na na na na...
Just to make you happy, baby
I would find a way
Take you anywhere you ever dreamed of
There's no limitations if you're my inspiration
'Cause I can do anything if I've got your love
And no one will ever love you better
Show me a star in the sky
And I would steal it for you baby, whoah
There's nothing I wouldn't try
Just to keep you satisfied
And if you want the moon wrapped up
And brought by there right to your door
I would find a way
I would find a way to get it
I've been the world to you and if that won't do
Then I do something more
I would find a way
I would find a way, baby
Na na na na na na...
Just to make you happy, baby
I would find a way
I would find a way to keep you satisfied
I'll supply the love that you need, yeah, yeah
Ooh, I give you something to dream about each night
Baby, I'll make you happy every day, every night
Making my life's dedication to make sure that you look bright
You're my love, you're my inspiration
I'll find a way to keep you satisfied
To cherish your love is my life dedication
Nothing could ever stop this love of mine

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."
