Yeah,
Living in my rented room, I sharply had a fall
I fell into a bottle, and no-one heard my call
And my father said, "Why do u think that you stumbled into this bottle that you fell?",
And I says "Father I think I lost my balance throwing pennies in the holy well".

Into the bottle you can fall and there be no one there at all
Well you can whine and you can pray, but its up to you to say no way

I came across a friend of mine who had, plunged and sank deep down And I wondered if I knew him, because his mind had turned around
So I sat for a while with this stranger, he was a shell of what he'd once been And I thought of all the alcohol and all the pain and greed that i've seen

Into the bottle you can fall and there be no one there at all
Well you can whine and you can pray, but its up to you to say no way
No way,

Mothers all around the world try to teach your children to stay
To stay well away from the bottle, if you dont to watch decay
Decay of the mind and the soul aswell, Theres no need to go through that pain
Mothers you wanted your children not to drown in the acid rain

Into the bottle you can fall and there be no one there at all
Well you can whine and you can pray, Its up to you, yes it is
Its up to you, oooh yes it is,
Its up to you yes it is,
Its up to you's, to say no way
No waaay...
No waaay...
Nah nah nah

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
