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.
the clock is down
and i am losing one day at a time
well who'd have thought
our hands would stop right here
and maybe i could just forget you
for just a little while
cause everything you said
is coming back in time
well maybe i
should say goodbye
cause i'd like to run away
i'd like to say a few things to you about the way i feel inside
cause i'd like to run away
i'd like to say a few things to you about the way i feel inside
the clock is down
and i am losing
one day at a time
i still remember the first time you were here
and everytime i see your picture
i thank god for your smile
cause everything you said
is keeping me in line
well maybe i
should say goodbye
cause i'd like to run away
i'd like to say a few things to you about the way i feel inside
i'd like to run away
i'd like to say a few things to you about the way i feel inside
last signs will never stop 'em
the last signs, will never stop 'em
the last signs, will never stop 'em (times or signs...i can't tell)
the last signs, will never stop 'em
the last signs, will never stop 'em
the last signs, will never stop 'em
well maybe i
should say goodbye
cause i'd like to run away
i'd like to say a few things to you about the way i feel inside
yeah, i'd like to run away
i'd like to say a few things to you about the way i feel inside
i'd like to run away
i'd like to say a few things to you about the way i feel inside
yeah, i'd like to run away
i'd like to say a few things to you about the way i feel inside
and i am losing one day at a time
well who'd have thought
our hands would stop right here
and maybe i could just forget you
for just a little while
cause everything you said
is coming back in time
well maybe i
should say goodbye
cause i'd like to run away
i'd like to say a few things to you about the way i feel inside
cause i'd like to run away
i'd like to say a few things to you about the way i feel inside
the clock is down
and i am losing
one day at a time
i still remember the first time you were here
and everytime i see your picture
i thank god for your smile
cause everything you said
is keeping me in line
well maybe i
should say goodbye
cause i'd like to run away
i'd like to say a few things to you about the way i feel inside
i'd like to run away
i'd like to say a few things to you about the way i feel inside
last signs will never stop 'em
the last signs, will never stop 'em
the last signs, will never stop 'em (times or signs...i can't tell)
the last signs, will never stop 'em
the last signs, will never stop 'em
the last signs, will never stop 'em
well maybe i

i'd like to say a few things to you about the way i feel inside

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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
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.
