Take me away, far far away
To a place where I don’t have the comforts of home
There’s a big world outside
Calling me for a ride
There’s an adventure You created me to go on
Let’s go
You’re dreaming dreams for me
Way beyond what I can see
I’m prone to letting them pass me by
A gentle whisper I hear
I know it’s not the voice of fear
‘Cause that’s a voice I so easily recognize
You’re calling me to come
I’m running to You
You’re holding on to me
As we fly across the clouds
In Your big blue sky
Let’s raise the sails, and pull the anchor on board
As we boldly venture into the unknown
Let the wind blow and take us where it may
Where You lead me is where I want to call home
So bring me that horizon
I’m running to You
You’re holding on to me
As we sail beneath
The clouds in Your big blue sky
But my heart is busy racing
And my feet are busy pacing
As I’m walking back and forth
Across this floor
The one who formed the mountains
And the one who carved the valleys
Has wonders beyond my wildest dreams in store
Come what may He’s holding me
Come what may He’s holding me
Come what may His adventure is worth living for
I’m running to You
Big blue sky
I’m running to You
You’re holding on to me
As we fly across the clouds
In Your big blue sky
Reckless abandon
I’m leaving myself in the dust behind
I’m chasing after
Your big blue sky

    One of my favorite songs from a local band. I think it's about moving worldly as opposed to spiritual conquests.

    That of course is my interpretation.

    There is a Trey Anastasio quote that different musicians at different times are closer to the truth.

Love in a Vacuum
'Til Tuesday
Well, in my opinion this song is about being a young & maybe a little naive &/or introverted girl and finding yourself loving a man who is at first very charming, carefree & outgoing, and seems at first to be without limits, as in "There was a time you opened up every doorway you didn't mind if everything wasn't your way" then that man starts to gradually become more introverted & shows their more possessive/obsessive side to you as the relationship progresses, even while they keep up the appearance of being carefree & outgoing to everyone else, "Don't pull away that goes against what you told me I look in your eyes I realize what you've sold me is love in a vacuum" so you confront them about the way they're acting and of course they deny it, "I think you've changed but you insist that that's not true" quite possibly they are an addict of some sort, my guess would be cocaine, &/or showing very obsessive behavior towards you (early on in the video for this song we see the man hanging a picture up, it is a very large portrait of Aimee & it is prominently displayed in his/their apartment for the duration of the song), thus their "love in a vacuum", "You look so strange, so distant that you're hardly you Now I can see how you have been acting different You say it's me but I know that it isn't it's love in a vacuum" but still you are in love with them and don't want to leave them and you know that they are truly in love with you and they don't want you to leave them either, maybe they are convinced you can save them from themself, maybe they are so broken that the possibility of an overdose &/or suicide attempt is very real and you want to get through to them that their behavior not only dangerous but it is also just pissing you off and if they don't wise up they run the risk of loosing you, as in the lines "You will be lonely if you leave me alone", so you want to save them but can't get through to them due to the addiction &/or emotional problems they have, "Love in a vacuum and that's not enough love in a vacuum You will be lonely you'll be the only one who feels this way You will be lonely if you leave me alone You will be lonely you'll be the only one who feels this way it's just not enough" you want them to understand that the love they are giving you is not enough when it is filtered through the vacuum of their drug addiction &/or emotional impairment, "You will be lonely you'll be the only one who feels this way it's just not enough and just wait you will be lonely Love in a vacuum Love in a vacuum and that's not enough Love in a vacuum". 'Love In A Vacuum' for me is a hauntingly truthful acute argument on the loneliness of obsession and almost inevitable loss of love that follows people who are broken in some way or another; the obsessives, the coke heads, the drunks, addicts or the just-plain-old emotionally broken; a razor sharp, lyrically driven, deceptively poppy, yet ultimately-depressing-in-the-best-way song. Quintessential Aimee Mann.

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.
