What if these are the last words I ever get to say?
And the only reminders left
Are chips in teeth from where they made their way
Out of my head to where they need to be
Into embodiments of broader thoughts
I've come to let define me

I turn this body to a time capsule
To one day be opened up
Hoping it translates well
That burns and scars we made were deep enough
To keep spirits high when legs won't run
Options seem exhausted
Diving deeper than the skin
Exploring depths and knowing what the cost is

What if these are the last words I ever get to say?
And the only reminders left
Are chips in teeth from where they made their way
Out of my head to where they need to be
Into embodiments of broader thoughts
I've come to let define me

I thought we were all in this together
And I still want to so I still will
Can you proud of what defines you
And all you've heard about yourself?
What do you let define you?

What if these are the last words I ever get to say?
And the only reminders left
Are chips in teeth from where they made their way
Out of my head to where they need to be
Into embodiments of broader thoughts
I've come to let define me

It's not a contest
But we're all trying to place
The finish line, it does exist
But these ribbons are all myth
And that's fine
A chance to make myself mine
Find definition and clarify my place
And that's fine
A chance to make myself mine
Find definition and clarify my place

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.
