I’m leaving fast and never looking back. I wish these ties would break… I would be gone forever, to make things how they always used to be. It’s what I’ve always wanted, but not this time. Converting pressure to construction, and the pain is wearing thin. Betrayal's only reasons. I will not die alone from living with another piece of what we always had together. And when we think of who we were before this, just two good friends with one shared vision, how can I forgive what I can't forget? The only life I had that you forced me out of. This piece of life- I clutch it as we die. Further now away from what it was, the future dragged me down, yet it pulled me forward. Remembering what all of those times meant, when I needed you and I could not get one word. Now we are numb from the pain of regret. Converting pressure to construction, and the pain is wearing thin. Betrayal's only reasons. I will not die alone from living with another piece of what we always had together. And when we think of who we were before this, just two good friends with one shared vision, how can I forgive what I can't forget? The only life I had that you forced me out of. And for what? Destruction is a dream I awaken from with your dismissal. Release the energy with no degree of self-absorption. Our tired misery bleeds out of me with every new breath. Forsaken honesty breeds tragedy through all emotions. Chained to the forces of diminishment of what we fought for. Break free as they rust away, as it fades away, as it passes on. Maybe we'll forgive it all with a little time, when we have that power.

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
