Whenever I go out to parties, I try so hard just to fit in.
I'll walk around with a cup of beer in my hand. and smoke a cigarette.
I want to be like everyone else.
If I was a rock star, the would notice me.
and they would want my autograph.
I'll have a video on MTV.
and I'll be signed on epitaph.
I'm just another face in the crowd, I'm not gonna let it bring me down
because I know someday I'll break away.
I'm just another face in the crowd, I'm gonna break away somehow,
before my mind goes insane.
Everyday I think about my future.
I don't know what I want to be.
It always seems like I'm stagnating...
uh whoa uh whoa uh oh oh...oh!
separated from society.
If I was an actor like keanu reeves.
Then all the girls would scream and shout and tear.
I'll be rich and famous from the movie screen.
and by this time we'll be sold out.

    hahah.. Man this song is good. Its another sarcastic song about people not being happy with who they are and trying to be someone else.. Talking about schemes for them to be popular.. haha. I like where he goes "If I was an actor like keanu reeves. Then all the girls would scream and shout and tear. I'll be rich and famous from the movie screen. and by this time we'll be sold out." or where they talked about being signed on epitaph.. which sucks btw. Good Cali. Punk.. I mean these were good songs, before kings of pop cd. they got old I guess.

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.

Amazing
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.
