On the way down, a fall from grace
I was in for a heavy one when I could feel you pull away
On the way down, it was too much to take
Even though I tried, it was never enough for running in the same damn place

But I never stopped or gave up
I couldn't ever let you go
'Cause in the end, I was innocent, I was innocent
I let you know that it's no good
But you could never say it first
I know you're hurt
Tell me how you feel, tell me how you feel

'Cause I got something to tell you, but I don't know why
It's so hard to let you know that we're not seeing eye to eye
Because I know if I tell you that everything's alright
Oh, we could stay in this moment, I'd never say goodbye
Oh, I'll never say goodbye

Heavy was the sound I could not lift
I could run for a million miles and never get away from it
But knowing that now, I couldn't be content
Even when it was looking up for us, it was difficult to pretend

But I never stopped or gave up
I couldn't ever let you go
'Cause in the end, I was innocent, I was innocent
I let you know that it's no good
But you could never say it first
I know you're hurt
Tell me how you feel, tell me how you feel

'Cause I got something to tell you, but I don't know why
It's so hard to let you know that we're not seeing eye to eye
Because I know if I tell you that everything's alright
Oh, we could stay in this moment, I'd never say goodbye
Oh, I'll never say goodbye

I never stopped or gave up
I couldn't ever let you go
'Cause in the end, (I was innocent)
I never stopped or gave up
I couldn't ever let you go
'Cause in the end, baby, (I was innocent)
I never stopped or gave up
I couldn't ever let you go
'Cause in the end, I was innocent, I was innocent
I let you know that it's no good
But you could never say it first
I know you're hurt
Tell me how you feel, tell me how you feel

'Cause I got something to tell you, but I don't know why
It's so hard to let you know that we're not seeing eye to eye
Because I know if I tell you that everything's alright
Oh, we could stay in this moment, I'd never say goodbye
Oh, I'll never say goodbye
But I don't know why
It's so hard to let you know that we're not seeing eye to eye
Because I know if I tell you that everything's alright
Oh, we could stay in this moment, I'd never say goodbye
Oh, I'll never say goodbye

Never say goodbye
Oh, I'll never say goodbye
Never say goodbye
Oh, I'll never say goodbye
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
Never say goodbye
Oh, I'll never say goodbye

Ave Grave
Thee More Shallows
So this has been.my favorite song of OTEP's since it came out in 2004, and I always thought it was a song about a child's narrative of suffering in an abusive Christian home. But now that I am revisiting the lyrics, I am seeing something totally new. This song could be gospel of John but from the perspective of Jesus. Jesus was NOT having a good time up to and during the crucifixion. Everyone in the known world at the time looked to him with fear, admiration or disgust and he was constantly being asked questions. He spoke in "verses, prophesies and curses". He had made an enemy of the state, and believed the world was increasingly wicked and fallen from grace, or that he was in the "mouth of madness". The spine of atlas is the structure that allows the titan to hold the world up. Jesus challenged the state and in doing so became a celebrated resistance figure. It also made him public enemy #1. All of this happened simply because he was doing his thing, not because of any agenda he had or strategy. And then he gets scourged (storm of thorns) There are some plot holes here but I think it's an interesting interpretation.

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.

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.
