In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Give me a old school beat
This is what we gon' do with it
I gotta be feel with the Holy Ghost
Knot that ties me from my head to my toes
You said if I pray You would deliver me
Break those chains, Lord, that were bindin' me
Hey, only You can make me right
Lord, I'm askin' You to change my life
I need You
Touch me one more time
Touch me one more time
Touch me one more time
Touch me one more time
I wanna be free with Your Holy Spirit
And there are days when I just can't feel it
But I know You're there, You said You'd never leave me
And I must say, Lord You've been good to me
Lord, I'm askin' You for help
You've been better to me that I've been to myself
I need You to touch me
Touch me one more time
Touch me one more time
Touch me one more time
Touch me one more time
Touch me one more time
Touch me one more time
Touch me one more time
Touch me one more time
One more time
One more time
One more time
I need You to touch me
One more time
One more time
One more time
I need You to touch me
People right there clap your hands
I've just got a question
Anybody need a touch?
Anybody need a touch, a touch
Need a touch, hey, one more time
Anybody need a touch, a touch
Need a touch, hey, one more time
Anybody need a touch, a touch
Need a touch, hey, one more time
Anybody need a touch, a touch
Need a touch, hey, one more time
I need it, I need it, I need it
I need it, I need it, I need it
I need it, I need it, I need it
I need it, I need it, I need it
I need it, I need it, I need it
This is what we gon' do with it
I gotta be feel with the Holy Ghost
Knot that ties me from my head to my toes
You said if I pray You would deliver me
Break those chains, Lord, that were bindin' me
Hey, only You can make me right
Lord, I'm askin' You to change my life
I need You
Touch me one more time
Touch me one more time
Touch me one more time
Touch me one more time
I wanna be free with Your Holy Spirit
And there are days when I just can't feel it
But I know You're there, You said You'd never leave me
And I must say, Lord You've been good to me
Lord, I'm askin' You for help
You've been better to me that I've been to myself
I need You to touch me
Touch me one more time
Touch me one more time
Touch me one more time
Touch me one more time

Need a touch, hey, one more time
Anybody need a touch, a touch
Need a touch, hey, one more time
Anybody need a touch, a touch

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
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
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.
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
