I'm sitting down here
But, hey, you can't see me

Your words cut deeply
They're just some other lies
I'm hiding from a distance
I've got to pay the price
Defending all against it
I really don't know why
You're obsessed with all my secrets
You always make me cry
You seem to wanna hurt me
No matter what I do
I'm telling just a couple
But somehow it gets to you
But I've learned to get revenge
And I swear you'll experience that some day

I'm sitting down here
But, hey, you can't see me
Kinda invisible
You don't sense my stay
Not really hiding, not like a shadow
Just thought I would join you for one day

I'm sitting down here
But, hey, you can't see me (see me, see me, see me, see me)

I'm not trying to avoid you
Just don't wanna hear your voice
When you call me up so often
I don't really have a choice

You're talking like you know me
And wanna be my friend
But that's really too late now
I won't try it once again

You may think that I'm a loser
That I don't really care
May think that it's forgotten
But you should be aware
'Cause I've learned to get revenge
And I swear you'll experience that some day

I'm sitting down here
But, hey, you can't see me
Kinda invisible
You don't sense my stay
Not really hiding, not like a shadow
Just thought I would join you for one day

I'm sitting down here
But, hey, you can't see me
Kinda invisible
You don't sense my stay
Not really hiding, not like a shadow
But sure I wanna join you for one day

You seem to wanna hurt me
No matter what I do
I'm telling just a couple
But somehow it gets to you
But I've learned to get revenge
And I swear you'll experience that some day

I'm sitting down here
But, hey, you can't see me
Kinda invisible
You don't sense my stay
Not really hiding, not like a shadow
Just thought I would join you for one day

I'm sitting down here
But, hey, you can't see me (sitting down here)
Kinda invisible
You don't sense my stay
Not really hiding, not like a shadow (not like a shadow)
But sure I wanna join you for one day

I'm sitting down here
But, hey, you can't see me (sitting down here)
Kinda invisible
You don't sense my stay
Not really hiding, not like a shadow (not like a shadow)
Just thought I would join you for one day

I'm sitting down here
But, hey, you can't see me (sitting down here)
Kinda invisible
You don't sense my stay
Not really hiding, not like a shadow (not like a shadow)
But sure I wanna join you for one day

    Same here strider3005. im also a rocker, but this song is one of those that makes you feel so happy.

    I agree with all of you above. The meaning of this song is quite clear, but what’s so unique about it is that it sounds so happy, summery and pretty. I think she’s trying to convey that she’s experienced a bad relationship, but she’s realised that it wasn’t worth it and she’s overcome the hurt and now she can easily deal with it and move on. But at the same time she’s still a little wrapped in the feeling and that’s why she’s sitting there watching him and saying that she’s letting go now.

    I can’t relate to this song but personally for me the chorus of this song has a different meaning. Its out of context, but the lyrics of the chorus alone remind me of that situation that everyone will experience, and that’s when you like someone secretly and you find yourself watching them and admiring them, ‘im sitting down here but hey you cant see me…just thought I would join you for one day’. Its not stalkerish in any way. Its just for that sweet and fun crush you can develop for someone. The music and melody suit that situation and that’s why this song always makes me feel happy.

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.

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
