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.
They can talk that shit they can talk that shit
They can talk that shit they can talk that shit
They can talk that shit they can talk that shit
They can talk that shit they can talk that shit
Baby girl you saw I'm a don let's get on one accord
If you misunderstanding me check me out on forbes
And I got a maybach with the partition
And they call it flat head baby flat baby the new edition
It's timbaland man beats that make you bump that
Over a mill on my debit card believe that
Wanna hurt a nice top I'm talking implant
'bout to cop a nice watch I'm talking rembrandt
I've been around world so much I think I'm omar
I met that [unverified] you the golden arch
Yeah I talk shit nigga that deed shit
I bought a yacht just to see if I would get seasick
So why you fronting for when you ain't got that?
I got a bugatti zana bitch you ain't got that
Homey your money's too young you need to go to bed
It's grown man over here nigga we talk that
Hey shorty what you looking for? I bet I got it here
I'm in a maybach he in the cavalier
Now you can only talk cash here if you got cash
Let's have a conversation we can talk about that
And I'ma talk talk talk talk
And I'ma talk talk talk talk
Now go and give me 50 because when I talk that spitting
If the haters keep hating I'ma have to come and talk that shit
Oh you think you cute huh got a lot of money huh
I'm filthy rich and you can call me donald trump huh
I got big bank I'm talking big bucks
And I bought a phantom to see how the back doors open up
Missy e on the track I'm make you bump that
I got the new ferrari shorty you ain't got that
I got them whips that so sick when I spit them hating chicks
Wanna know how much I get two hundred grand and eat doritos chips
Been around the world so much I'm like obama
And I got a vacation spot in the bahamas
Yeah I talk shit talking 'bout that deep shit
I call the dj's up and tell them go and leak this
'cause I got that cash I got that dough
I make my money money grow so I'm never broke
You wanna know much it costs to get a tim track
Man you can't afford that
Hey shorty what you looking for? I bet I got it here
I'm in a maybach he in the cavalier
Now you can only talk cash here if you got cash

Now go and give me 50 because when I talk that spitting
If the haters keep hating I'ma have to come and talk that shit
They call me missy e I got a lot of cheese
And you're a nickel bag shorty I'm a dime piece
Don't you see the [unverified] got dough up everywhere
And the lamborghini doors that go up in the air
Man look at this I got the bentley whip
I drive the sickest benz boy I make them haters sick
You I got it I get it I be the richest in the city
Talking more shit than you see up in the toilet
Man you's a hater I got the big house with the elevator
See the way you sit on it 12 big acres

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.
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.
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.
