Transmissions

Gentlemen Without Weapons

Slay your dragons with compassion
Do it in your tribal dance
In your tribal dance

You are a child on the earth plane
As sure as wild winds blow
You are a reflection of your mind’s eye
So spread your wings and roll

Transmissions
Tapping on the door of your heart
Transmissions
Tuning into your frequency

Transmissions
In the dark when you see the light of you
Wake up, wake up
Transmissions
You will know when the feeling’s right for you

Wake up wake up
Dee na na nee na na
Dee na na nee na na na
Dee na na nee na na
Dee na nee na na

Your body is an instrument
So use it naturally
Surround it in a garment
Of universal harmony

Transmissions
Tapping on the door of your heart
Transmissions
Flowing on the river of life

Open up, open up

In the dark when you see the light in you
You will know when the feeling’s right and true
Wake up wake up

Transmissions
Flowing on the river of life
Transmissions
Tuning into your frequency

Transmissions
In the dark when you see the light of you
Transmissions
You will know when the feeling’s right and true


Transmissions
Through the day and throughout the night of you
Transmissions
See yourself and throughout your life be true

Wake up, wake up

Transmissions
Tapping on the door of your heart
Transmissions
Tuning into your frequency


Transmissions
In the dark when you see the light in you
Wake up, wake up
Transmissions
You will know when the feeling’s right and true

Transmissions
Through the day and throughout the night of you
Transmissions
See yourself and throughout your life be true

Transmissions
Dee na na nee na na
Transmissions
Dee na na nee na na
Transmissions
Dee na na nee na na
Transmissions
Dee na na nee na na
Transmissions

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.

Amazing
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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
