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.
Crawl out my eyes and I
feeling the sound and I
get my feet, get my wrists
off the ground and I
needed to say nothing
no more to give to you
no more to tell you
you curl up the blood in me.
I want them all an I
I want them all an I
I want them all an I
to send the sea back out.
Get off the sidelines
just put your feet forward
get in my eye line and
sprawl out your chains .
You got a love like semtex
bring it to me
bring it to me
bring it to me.
You got a love like semtex
bring it to me
bring it to me
where I can see.
Get in between all the
good and the wrong ways
you make the floor move
in all of my hallways.
We got it sweet now
ain't nothing calling
I'm at your feet now but girl
I'm still falling at you.
I want them all an I
I want them all an I
I want them all an I
to send the sea back out.
Bring on your heat now
and make my skin burn
you make my fingers
turn 3000 degrees
(Repeat chorus)
Get off the hand rail
step onto my train
I think this calling has
been falling for an age now.
Don't ever see why we
have to live lies.
We ain't so sick, we're just
part of the list.
(Repeat chorus)
Now!

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.
This will be probably be a hit if the Infadels were known better, but, maybe better this way that they aren't the biggest thing around
hahahahah, little do people know that semtex is a plastic explosive, the kind that downed Pan Am 103 even...
perfect 3.48 infatuation anthem.
