The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Your laugh
Those eyes
Your smile
Your innocence
Means everything to me
But you don't know, baby
The way you hold me
when you're with your friends
You want me
Means everything to me
but you don't know
We don't even talk no more
We don't even hold hands like we did before
We don't even know the reason why it came to be
That even though you're with me
You feel so far away
Feel so far away
Feel so far away
Feel so far away
Feel so far away
I kiss you intensly for some extasy
But somehow your lips feels so cold, Baby
We're perfect, Aren't we?
In there eyes only
But you lie, oh no
The spark as gone
We don't even talk no more
We don't even make love like we did before
We don't even know the reason why it came to be
That even though you're with me
You Feel so far away
Feel so far away
Feel so far away (Baby girl i need you here, Baby girl I need you))
Feel so far away (Girl i need you)
Feel so far away
Let's maybe take this like so we can see
How beautiful this love can be
And know we can't erase what we both feel
So Let's fall back into what we had
That love just feels so far away
Feel so far away
Feel so far away (Come a little bit, oh, come a little bit, oh)
Feel so far away
Feel so far away
Those eyes
Your smile
Your innocence
Means everything to me
But you don't know, baby
The way you hold me
when you're with your friends
You want me
Means everything to me
but you don't know
We don't even talk no more
We don't even hold hands like we did before
We don't even know the reason why it came to be
That even though you're with me
You feel so far away
Feel so far away
Feel so far away
Feel so far away
Feel so far away
I kiss you intensly for some extasy
But somehow your lips feels so cold, Baby
We're perfect, Aren't we?
In there eyes only
But you lie, oh no
The spark as gone
We don't even talk no more
We don't even make love like we did before
We don't even know the reason why it came to be
That even though you're with me
You Feel so far away
Feel so far away
Feel so far away (Baby girl i need you here, Baby girl I need you))
Feel so far away (Girl i need you)
Feel so far away
Let's maybe take this like so we can see
How beautiful this love can be
And know we can't erase what we both feel
So Let's fall back into what we had
That love just feels so far away
Feel so far away
Feel so far away (Come a little bit, oh, come a little bit, oh)
Feel so far away
Feel so far away

"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.

“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.
