There's nothing I can do to heal you
If you let it all begin
There's nothing I can do to please you

If I could run along beside you
Never stop to look around
I would probably see the world through your eyes

And you say you have to be there
'Cause you feel so ordinary
But you know how much you need me
When the sadness comes for you
And I know you feel
The weight that's on your back
Can get you through
When lost is all you have
When lost is all you have

How many years have you forgotten
Have you ever been awake
Something is gone 'cause you're not open

I never believed I'd find your heart here
The end is something new
I never believed I had to go there
I never believed I had to go there

And you say you have to be there
'Cause you feel so ordinary
But you know how much you need me
When the sadness comes for you
And I know you feel
The weight that's on your back
Can get you through
When lost is all you have
When lost is all you have

When all you do is wrong
When all you feel is wrong
If I could dream away

When all you do is wrong
When all you feel is wrong
If I could dream away
If I could dream away

When all you do is wrong
When all you feel is wrong
If I could dream away
If I could dream away
If I could dream away

    I know you can't fix me but I'm completely broken. The weight on my back is life, I can't get through, the past IS ALL I HAVE. I define myself by that. Why have I not lived my life one Mary Onettes song lyric at a time? I'm thinking if any of us want to live just an ok life, we'll listen, contemplate, interpret, and go forward. I'm lost. We're lost. Listen, go forward.

its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard

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.
