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.
[Chorus]
Why, why would you make me feel this way
Make me feel like we were never separate
Make me feel like you want to be my girl
But then you only wanna still be friends
"Like best friends" were the words you said to me
Got me wondering to myself. I couldn't sleep
They way we touched. was more than a fantasy
Just knew that what we had was more reality
My wifey is who I thought you'd be
Maybe one day raise a C-H-I-L-D
Broke my heart when you didn't wanna be with me
And all this time I was a fool in L-O-V-E
[Chorus]
Why, why would you make me feel this way
Make me feel like we were never separate
Make me feel like you want to be my girl
But then you only wanna still be friends
Why, why would you make me feel this way
Make me feel like we were never separate
Make me feel like you want to be my girl
But then you only wanna still be friends
Beautiful, baby that was you and I
Now everyday I got to sit and wonder why
The way we kissed, got a feeling deep inside
What I'm hearing girl, it has to be a lie
How can you, just keep me to the side
You never even gave this thing a T-R-Y
Don't understand these things you try to hide
Now all the sudden you been actin f-u-n-n-y
And why
How could you do this to me
You led me to believe you want me
Now I cant change how I feel inside
Girl tell me why
[Chorus]
Why, why would you make me feel this way
Make me feel like we were never separate
Make me feel like you want to be my girl
But then you only wanna still be friends
Why, why would you make me feel this way
Make me feel like we were never separate
Make me feel like you want to be my girl
But then you only wanna still be friends
Oh yea
Baby
You wanted me...You wanted me
[Chorus]
Why, why would you make me feel this way
Make me feel like we were never separate
Make me feel like you want to be my girl
But then you only wanna still be friends
Why, why would you make me feel this way
Make me feel like we were never separate
Make me feel like you want to be my girl
But then you only wanna still be friends
Why, why would you make me feel this way
Make me feel like we were never separate
Make me feel like you want to be my girl
But then you only wanna still be friends
Why, why would you make me feel this way
Make me feel like we were never separate
Make me feel like you want to be my girl
But then you only wanna still be friends
"Like best friends" were the words you said to me
Got me wondering to myself. I couldn't sleep
They way we touched. was more than a fantasy
Just knew that what we had was more reality
My wifey is who I thought you'd be
Maybe one day raise a C-H-I-L-D
Broke my heart when you didn't wanna be with me
And all this time I was a fool in L-O-V-E
[Chorus]
Why, why would you make me feel this way
Make me feel like we were never separate
Make me feel like you want to be my girl
But then you only wanna still be friends
Why, why would you make me feel this way
Make me feel like we were never separate
Make me feel like you want to be my girl
But then you only wanna still be friends
Beautiful, baby that was you and I
Now everyday I got to sit and wonder why
The way we kissed, got a feeling deep inside

Make me feel like we were never separate
Make me feel like you want to be my girl
But then you only wanna still be friends
Why, why would you make me feel this way
Make me feel like we were never separate
Make me feel like you want to be my girl
But then you only wanna still be friends

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
It means you shouldn't lead people on if you dont really want a relationship with that person.
well to me it menas that if you are really close friends then dont try and step it up cause if you do then you can freak it up and then you never talk to her/him again...
