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.
You and me can peer into the wall, and see there’s nothing staring back at us.
Questions, answers, conflicting with the truth inside your system, pariahs cast away.
Ayo, All these cats look away
from the compass face that conveys all the doubts hopes dreams schemes
drenched with sun shining rays drizzle and stored in computer arrays
compUSA’s newest craze, movements of lemurs are sine waves
switch the phase after trial runs out in 30 days
rats run-along in the maze of propaganda that pays, who obeys
prosperity decays along with menacing delay
we all set out to amaze but fallen expectations were set ablaze.
Input-busing-believing-both and-proving-nothing.
2WICE THOUGHT- mistaken conflicts fitting
2WICE THOUGHT- accepting, forming, pitting
2WICE THOUGHT- expanding, cracking, breaking
2WICE THOUGHT- halting, disguising, making.
Struggle Inward, disintegrating walls that contain logic,
I’ve chosen chaos Error warning,
don’t see the flaw that brings your system crashing,
down to our feet.
We knocked it down, blew the minds up downtown
Murder weapon’s were microphones hidden in caverns underground
By the time they were hit no one around,
we couldn’t be found Impacted so deep,
changed fractured doublethink compound Reality,
without perception of fatality,
futile patterns of casualty still imagining freedom from control illusionists mask
the prole from conflicts of surveillance tapes that missed what we stole.
Input-busing-believing-both and-proving-nothing.
2WICE THOUGHT- mistaken conflicts fitting

2wice Thought - They think they know but they're wrong

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
