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.

Cualquier oferta es buena si quieres poder
Qué fácil es
Abrir tanto la boca para opinar
Y si te piensas echar atrás
Tienes muchas huellas que borrar
Déjame
Que yo no tengo la culpa de verte caer
Si yo no tengo la culpa de verte caer
Pierdes la fe
Cualquier esperanza es vana y no sé qué creer
Pero olvídame
Que nadie te ha llamado, ya estás otra vez
Déjame
Que yo no tengo la culpa de verte caer
Si yo no tengo la culpa de ver que
Entre dos tierras estás
Y no dejas aire que respirar
Entre dos tierras estás
Y no dejas aire que respirar
Déjalo ya
No seas membrillo y permite pasar
Y si no piensas echar atrás
Tienes mucho barro que tragar
Déjame
Que yo no tengo la culpa de verte caer
Si yo no tengo la culpa de ver que
Entre dos tierras estás
Y no dejas aire que respirar
Entre dos tierras estás
Y no dejas aire que respirar
Déjame
Que yo no tengo la culpa de verte caer
Si yo no tengo la culpa de ver que
Entre dos tierras estás
Y no dejas aire que respirar
Entre dos tierras estás
Y no dejas aire que respirar
Cualquier oferta es buena si quieres poder
Qué fácil es
Abrir tanto la boca para opinar
Y si te piensas echar atrás
Tienes muchas huellas que borrar
Déjame
Que yo no tengo la culpa de verte caer
Si yo no tengo la culpa de verte caer
Pierdes la fe
Cualquier esperanza es vana y no sé qué creer
Pero olvídame
Que nadie te ha llamado, ya estás otra vez
Déjame
Que yo no tengo la culpa de verte caer
Si yo no tengo la culpa de ver que
Entre dos tierras estás
Y no dejas aire que respirar
Entre dos tierras estás
Y no dejas aire que respirar
Déjalo ya
No seas membrillo y permite pasar
Y si no piensas echar atrás
Tienes mucho barro que tragar
Déjame
Que yo no tengo la culpa de verte caer
Si yo no tengo la culpa de ver que
Entre dos tierras estás
Y no dejas aire que respirar
Entre dos tierras estás
Y no dejas aire que respirar
Déjame
Que yo no tengo la culpa de verte caer
Si yo no tengo la culpa de ver que
Entre dos tierras estás
Y no dejas aire que respirar
Entre dos tierras estás
Y no dejas aire que respirar

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.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
You're a little confused badguy0077 the song in the "Senderos de Tráicion" album that is about a prostitute is "Con Nombre de Guerra" this song is about the end of a relationship, when two people just can't stand to be near each other (the videoclip gives yet more strenght to this point of view).
this song has something to do with a prositute
dammit i wish i still knew my native language
this is a pretty good song because in the music video there fighting and she is kickn his culo and that fool slaps da crap out of her and so on.... But this song is pretty good i wonder if they played this song in there tour this year in september 07?
They should play it, it's one of their clasics.
jeje seria de muco uso aprender español si, especialmente con letras de bunbury.... En realidad no se de que se trata las primeras lineas te hacen pensar que es de una postituta pero, despues se sonfunde el tema un poco... Que bueno que encuantro alguien oipnando de heroes en el 2005 estos ya estan menguando a ver si mas gente se anima!
¿No se trata simplemente de allguna persona conflictiva? Alguien que te ha dañado mucho, y que cuando quieres salir adelante no te deja ir.
Asi es, trata de una relacion. Con una persona que refleja sus problemas en tí, pensando que tu tienes la culpa, aunque no es así.
No es una persona conflictiva ni una prostituta, es simplemente alguien que vende sus principios, que no tiene moral ni nada y se encuentra como entre dos tierras queriendo decir que no tiene una postura fija y es de doble cara doble moral y tampoco da la oportunidad a alguien mas de salir adelante de la manera correcta
Buenas, tengo entendido que esta canción se la dedicó Enrique Bumbury a Loquillo, debido a que dijo que no triunfarian. No se han llevado nunca muy bien.
Un saludo.
