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.
Too small too small don't compromise
So have fast too fast don't realize
Have hand on wheel set the sights drive with me
Too fast too fast don't realize
So have fast too fast don't recognize
Have hand on wheel set the sights drive with me
Moving motion
Said move said move it
Somebody better come and drive me
Big truck
Ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
Ain't no grave gonna hold hold my body, hold my
Body
Big truck, come on
So have fast too fast don't realize
Have hand on wheel set the sights drive with me
Too fast too fast don't realize
So have fast too fast don't recognize
Have hand on wheel set the sights drive with me
Moving motion
Said move said move it
Somebody better come and drive me
Big truck
Ain't no grave gonna hold my body down
Ain't no grave gonna hold hold my body, hold my
Body
Big truck, come on

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.

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,

Ed Sheeran
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.
coal chamber is my fav. band and this song means nothing more than sex to me.....lmao
This song is fucking awesome. I think this song was written by Dez describing Rayna's fear of Big trucks when they drove down the highway.
this song is amazing. but i always think of a big fat lady when he says big truck.. *rolls eyes
I find this really motivating... it's the sort of song that makes you feel like you could run through a brick wall and keep on going through the other side.
this song is fucken brilliant!!! mainly because of the subtle "bitch" at the start... but just a good agressive song allotgether... coal chamber kicks ass... and sorry but i dont see the link between this song and a bully...
Well, on the Giving The Devil His Due album, there is a live version of this song, and Dez says at the beginning that he wrote it for Rayna...So, fallen_degenerate may be correct....This song is great!
Damn, speedemon86! You're a flaming homosexual, aren't you? Wow! This song is not brilliant, but it is a fun song, and that's what CC is all about. Fun.
Dez just compares some slut with large breasts with a Big Truck, anyone can "drive" her... but then there are some phrases I don't get... I mean "the grave to hold my body"...
man your dissin coal chamber's writing skills when you use words like 'crizappy'? fuck that dude
Even though it's one of Coal Chamber's more hip-hop influenced songs, I have no problem headbanging to it. And besides, it's a classic of Coal Chamber's. So, like sailingallalone said, it's a fun song, and that's what Coal Chamber's all about!
