"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.
もう独りで歩けない
ときの風が強すぎて
Ah 傷つくことなんて
慣れたはず だけど今は
Ah このまま抱きしめて
濡れたままの心を
変わり続けるこのときに
変わらない愛があるなら
Will you hold my heart
涙 受け止めて
もう壊れそうな all my heart
Forever love, forever dream
溢れる想いだけが
激しく せつなく
時間を埋め尽くす oh tell me why
All see is blue in my heart
Will you stay with me
風が過ぎ去るまで
また 溢れ出す all my tears
Forever love, forever dream
このままそばにいて
夜明けに震える心を抱きしめて
Oh stay with me
Ah 全てが終わればいい
終わりのないこの夜に
Ah 失うものなんて
何もない 貴方だけ
Forever love, forever dream
このままそばにいて
夜明けに震える心を抱きしめて
Ah will you stay with me
風が過ぎ去るまで
もう誰よりもそばに
Forever love, forever dream
これ以上 歩けない
Oh tell me why, oh tell me true
教えて 生きる意味を
Forever love, forever dream
溢れる涙の中
輝く季節が 永遠に変わるまで
Forever love
ときの風が強すぎて
Ah 傷つくことなんて
慣れたはず だけど今は
Ah このまま抱きしめて
濡れたままの心を
変わり続けるこのときに
変わらない愛があるなら
Will you hold my heart
涙 受け止めて
もう壊れそうな all my heart
Forever love, forever dream
溢れる想いだけが
激しく せつなく
時間を埋め尽くす oh tell me why
All see is blue in my heart
Will you stay with me
風が過ぎ去るまで
また 溢れ出す all my tears
Forever love, forever dream
このままそばにいて
夜明けに震える心を抱きしめて
Oh stay with me
Ah 全てが終わればいい
終わりのないこの夜に
Ah 失うものなんて
何もない 貴方だけ
Forever love, forever dream
このままそばにいて
夜明けに震える心を抱きしめて
Ah will you stay with me
風が過ぎ去るまで
もう誰よりもそばに
Forever love, forever dream

Oh tell me why, oh tell me true
教えて 生きる意味を
Forever love, forever dream

Forever love

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
