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.
Ah, the sun is born of night, it sets again
Though no one's here to see - it's endless
Sad, but everybody knows
A trip to heaven's not really on the cards, no
Yet my "moment" has come
A crying shame, for now my life is over
So perfect, this moment so perfect, this moment
I'm happy to die in this moment
Ah, the sun is born of night, it sets again
Though no one's here to see, it's endless
So perfect, this moment so perfect, this moment
I'm happy to die in this moment
I've been to heaven heaven on earth
Ah, the sun is born of night
Ah, the sun is born of night it's endless
Though no one's here to see - it's endless
Sad, but everybody knows
A trip to heaven's not really on the cards, no
Yet my "moment" has come
A crying shame, for now my life is over
So perfect, this moment so perfect, this moment
I'm happy to die in this moment
Ah, the sun is born of night, it sets again
Though no one's here to see, it's endless
So perfect, this moment so perfect, this moment
I'm happy to die in this moment
I've been to heaven heaven on earth
Ah, the sun is born of night
Ah, the sun is born of night it's endless

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.
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/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
I think its about him dying but he's happy even though hes dying. Hes saying the moment is perfect
'Sad, but everybody knows. A trip to heaven’s not really on the cards, no'
That could mean several things, it could be a fear that someone is not going to heaven or perhaps not a fear but a sad feeling. It could mean several things, just depends on what someone thinks who hears it.
i love this song, it's something about him dying but he doenst care...he loves how its happening or something....ive tried to find the deeper meaning but have had trouble
"Ah, the sun is born of night" I'd say he's talking about the sunrise here, which is the beginning of a new day. Maybe it's a beginning? As in being born?
"It sets again" My guess it's a sunset, which is the end of the day. So maybe that'd be the end, death?
"Ah, the sun is born of night, it sets again Though no one's here to see - it's endless" The cycle of life and death, and since everyone dies someday there's no one who can watch it all for eternity.
"Sad, but everybody knows A trip to heaven’s not really on the cards, no" He won't go to heaven, and he knows it.
"Yet my "moment" has come A crying shame, for now my life is over" He doesn't want to die yet, so for some reason he is dying against his will. A disease or something like that maybe?
"So perfect, this moment So perfect, this moment I’m happy to die in this moment" However, now is the time for him to die. Now it's okay to die, maybe he even wants it.
"I’ve been to Heaven Heaven on Earth" He got his trip to heaven anyway? Maybe it's this "Heaven on Earth" he found that gave him what he wanted/needed to be able to be at peace with dying and becoming a part of the eternal cycle.
So pretty, Hyde has a wonderful voice. I like his english. ^^
