How'd I know
How'd I know you would be here
I picked up the tab, lets get out
Hold you tight, like the dirty secret
We never could keep
Let's get out
Past your house, past the job that you can't stand
We've locked all the doors, lets get out
Your father called, your only reason to stay here
He only wanted some cash, let's get out
I fixed up the motor today, and we can leave any time we want to
Your tattoos are faded away
Now, you can be anything you want to
Now, you can be anything you want, tonight
I'll drive tonight, even the sleepless sleep sometimes
Close your eyes tight, I'll drive tonight
We can leave any time we want to
We can leave any time we want to
Monday nights, couldn't move at the Foundry
Where we all used to meet to get out
There's no one left
Now, the tips they don't cut it
Should've left when the lights they burnt out
I fixed up the motor today, and we can leave any time we want to
Your tattoos are faded away
Now, you can be anything you want to
Now, you can be anything you want, tonight
I'll drive tonight, even the sleepless sleep sometimes
Close your eyes tight, I'll drive tonight
We can leave any time we want to
We can leave any time we want to
We watched buildings fade as stars came in to view
We're just half a tank away from somewhere new
I wanna be anywhere but back, out where the neon lights burn black
I want you to wake up far away from all that
I fixed up the motor today, and we can leave any time we want to
Your tattoos are faded away
Now, you can be anything you want to
Now, you can be anything you want, to
Now, you can be anything, anything you want tonight
I'll drive tonight, even the sleepless sleep sometimes
Close your eyes tight, I'll drive tonight
We can leave any time we want tonight
I'll drive tonight, even the sleepless sleep sometimes
Close your eyes tight, I'll drive tonight
We can leave any time we want to
We can leave any time we want to
We can leave any time, any time we want tonight
How'd I know you would be here
I picked up the tab, lets get out
Hold you tight, like the dirty secret
We never could keep
Let's get out
Past your house, past the job that you can't stand
We've locked all the doors, lets get out
Your father called, your only reason to stay here
He only wanted some cash, let's get out
I fixed up the motor today, and we can leave any time we want to
Your tattoos are faded away
Now, you can be anything you want to
Now, you can be anything you want, tonight
I'll drive tonight, even the sleepless sleep sometimes
Close your eyes tight, I'll drive tonight
We can leave any time we want to
We can leave any time we want to
Monday nights, couldn't move at the Foundry
Where we all used to meet to get out
There's no one left
Now, the tips they don't cut it
Should've left when the lights they burnt out
I fixed up the motor today, and we can leave any time we want to
Your tattoos are faded away
Now, you can be anything you want to
Now, you can be anything you want, tonight
I'll drive tonight, even the sleepless sleep sometimes
Close your eyes tight, I'll drive tonight
We can leave any time we want to
We can leave any time we want to
We watched buildings fade as stars came in to view
We're just half a tank away from somewhere new
I wanna be anywhere but back, out where the neon lights burn black
I want you to wake up far away from all that
I fixed up the motor today, and we can leave any time we want to
Your tattoos are faded away
Now, you can be anything you want to
Now, you can be anything you want, to
Now, you can be anything, anything you want tonight
I'll drive tonight, even the sleepless sleep sometimes
Close your eyes tight, I'll drive tonight
We can leave any time we want tonight
I'll drive tonight, even the sleepless sleep sometimes
Close your eyes tight, I'll drive tonight
We can leave any time we want to
We can leave any time we want to
We can leave any time, any time we want tonight

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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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.
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/
Also, in the last prechorus, Stubby says "I fixed up the 90 today..." rather than "the motor."
I think this song is about a guy who has decided that it's time to escape the town that he's lived in for so long, and he wants to take his girl out with him. It sounds like the town has changed alot from when he was younger, and that there really isn't anything left for him.
