"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.
La espera me agotó
No se nada de vos
Dejaste tanto en mí
En llamas me acosté
Y en un lento degradé
Supe que te perdí
¿Qué otra cosa puedo hacer?
Si no olvido, moriré
Y otro crimen quedará
Otro crimen quedará
Sin resolver
Una rápida traición
Y salimos del amor
Tal vez me lo busqué
Mi ego va a estallar
Ahí donde no estás
Oh, los celos otra vez
¿Qué otra cosa puedo hacer?
Si no olvido moriré
Y otro crimen quedará
Otro crimen quedará
Sin resolver
No lo sé
Cuanto falta no lo sé
Si es muy tarde no lo sé
Si no olvido, moriré
¿Qué otra cosa puedo hacer?
¿Qué otra cosa puedo hacer?
Ahora sé lo que es perder
Otro crimen quedará
Otro crimen quedará
Sin resolver
No se nada de vos
Dejaste tanto en mí
En llamas me acosté
Y en un lento degradé
Supe que te perdí
¿Qué otra cosa puedo hacer?
Si no olvido, moriré
Y otro crimen quedará
Otro crimen quedará
Sin resolver
Una rápida traición
Y salimos del amor
Tal vez me lo busqué
Mi ego va a estallar
Ahí donde no estás
Oh, los celos otra vez
¿Qué otra cosa puedo hacer?
Si no olvido moriré
Y otro crimen quedará
Otro crimen quedará
Sin resolver
No lo sé
Cuanto falta no lo sé
Si es muy tarde no lo sé
Si no olvido, moriré
¿Qué otra cosa puedo hacer?
¿Qué otra cosa puedo hacer?
Ahora sé lo que es perder
Otro crimen quedará
Otro crimen quedará
Sin resolver

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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Me cansé de esperar No se nada de ti Solo me quedan tus recuerdos Me acosté recordandote y de a poco me di cuenta que te perdí.
Debo olvidarte, o moriré Y nadie sabrá por que morí
Se acabó el amor Quizás fué mi culpa
Te extraño, pero sé que estás con otro
Debo olvidarte o moriré Y nadie sabrá por que morí
Quizás ya es tarde para olvidarte, no lo sé Pero si no te olvido, moriré No tengo alternativas, o te olvido o muero.
Ahora sé lo que es perderlo todo
Nadie sabrá por que morí
:O
nadie ha comentado esta cancion y es tan linda
una ruptura cn todo lo triste
entiendo en esta cancion q el le hizo mal a esta niña y luego eia lo dejo,asi es como ahora se devuelve la mano y le toca a el sufrir
siento que aqui se refiere al momento post separacion, en la que cualquier manera de acercamiento es buena para recaer, solo que en esta relacion no hubo acercamiento y "la espera lo agoto" y esta es visto como un crimen por lo mal que se siente.
Exacto aun se siente apegado a esta persona pero sabe que si no olvida seguira sufriendo
