"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.
Well I know it's over
Like a waste of mind
Well I know it's side ball
I can't seem to find
Like a waste of someone
Like a wasted home
Well I know it's over
I know it's over long
Did you ever slip inside my ozone
I saw it in my eyes
Ever slip into me baby?
And I know it's mine
I gotta say it's all mine
With so low
Well I know it's not mine
With so much
Well I say it's all mine
With so low
And I know it's not mine
Well it's solace baby
I saw the face of mine
You took my hand and held on
For the longest time
I was always looking to be the one for you
It could have been so perfect
If I still lied at you
And I want to scream inside you no-one
Did you ever look at me
I saw a place where I was open
Now it will die mine
I gotta say it's all mine
When no man
When I know it's not mine
With so much
When I'm faking the lies
With so low
I gotta say it's all mine
Gotta say it's all mine
Wanna say it's all mine
Gonna say it's all mine
It was so good
It was so good
It was so good
It was so good
It was so good
It was so good
It was so mine
I gotta say it's all mine
With so low
When I know it's not mine
It's over
And I can face it no lie
With so much
Well I know it's not mine
With so low
I know it's not mine
With so much
I gotta face it's a lie
With so low
I know it's not mine
With so far
I gotta place it's a lie
It was so good
So good
Say it's so good
Say it's so good
Say it's so good
Say it's so good
Say it's so good
Like a waste of mind
Well I know it's side ball
I can't seem to find
Like a waste of someone
Like a wasted home
Well I know it's over
I know it's over long
Did you ever slip inside my ozone
I saw it in my eyes
Ever slip into me baby?
And I know it's mine
I gotta say it's all mine
With so low
Well I know it's not mine
With so much
Well I say it's all mine
With so low
And I know it's not mine
Well it's solace baby
I saw the face of mine
You took my hand and held on
For the longest time
I was always looking to be the one for you
It could have been so perfect
If I still lied at you
And I want to scream inside you no-one
Did you ever look at me
I saw a place where I was open
Now it will die mine
I gotta say it's all mine
When no man
When I know it's not mine
With so much
When I'm faking the lies
With so low
I gotta say it's all mine
Gotta say it's all mine
Wanna say it's all mine
Gonna say it's all mine
It was so good
It was so good
It was so good
It was so good
It was so good
It was so good
It was so mine
I gotta say it's all mine
With so low
When I know it's not mine
It's over
And I can face it no lie
With so much
Well I know it's not mine
With so low
I know it's not mine
With so much
I gotta face it's a lie
With so low
I know it's not mine
With so far
I gotta place it's a lie
It was so good
So good
Say it's so good
Say it's so good
Say it's so good
Say it's so good
Say it's so good

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
My favorite Moby song, probably just from relating to it. Surprised there are not more comments.
To me this song is pretty clearly about a relationship that has ended because one person (the singer) stopped pretending.
The reason they were pretending/lying was in order to keep the other person.
And in the end, the singer is reflecting and wondering if the other person ever even realized they were lying and pretending for them.
The singer is also realizing that pretending and lying to keep the person had been a total waste of time. It was all a waste and for nothing in the end.
And it was all a fantasy anyway. They had to pretend and lie to make it work, so very little of it was even real.
That fantasy is all theirs, and it will die with them.
Yet nothing real is theirs in the end.
The song is neat and beautiful because it doesn't try to pick a feeling and run with it.
It admits sorrow and a cynical feeling of "what a waste" yet also admits that the fantasy -was- beautiful. It admits they lost the fantasy when it broke, yet admit they will keep it anyway.
beautiful song, I luv it.
