"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.
We hit the room, me and my crew and it was cool, until we bumped into you now it's been years, but there you were like a mustang, redlinin' every single gear with a man that danced like he was born in '49, but lost his groove back when jesus died I want to know, are those replacement hips? is that a swatch watch? do you know what time it is?
Does he run it deep enough
To take you there?
Does he run it deep enough
Oh tell me baby
Does he run it deep enough?
Tell me, tell me
Does he run it deep enough?
Does he run it deep enough for you?
We hit a couch, the place was packed with sweaty palms, sweaty thongs, and sweaty backs my mouth was dry, my brain cold high, the groove was right, so I decided to ignite your eyes met mine, you skirt began to rise, and so did I now you know that I took that prize in the middle of the club, in the middle of the club, in the middle of club now tell me!
Does he run it deep enough
To take you there?
Does he run it deep enough
Oh tell me baby
Does he run it deep enough?
Tell me baby
What did I do? what did I say? that gave you away tell me what didn't I do, what didn't I say that sent you away from me
I wait for you to take my I wait for you to take my hand
Does he run it deep enough
To take you there?
Does he run it deep enough
Oh tell me baby
Does he run it deep enough
Oh tell me, tell me
I'm just a jealous guy, I'm just a jealous guy, come on!
Does he run it deep enough
To take you there?
Does he run it deep enough
Oh tell me baby
Does he run it deep enough?
Tell me, tell me
Does he run it deep enough?
Does he run it deep enough for you?
We hit a couch, the place was packed with sweaty palms, sweaty thongs, and sweaty backs my mouth was dry, my brain cold high, the groove was right, so I decided to ignite your eyes met mine, you skirt began to rise, and so did I now you know that I took that prize in the middle of the club, in the middle of the club, in the middle of club now tell me!
Does he run it deep enough
To take you there?
Does he run it deep enough
Oh tell me baby
Does he run it deep enough?
Tell me baby
What did I do? what did I say? that gave you away tell me what didn't I do, what didn't I say that sent you away from me
I wait for you to take my I wait for you to take my hand
Does he run it deep enough
To take you there?
Does he run it deep enough
Oh tell me baby
Does he run it deep enough
Oh tell me, tell me
I'm just a jealous guy, I'm just a jealous guy, come on!

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.
Seems like Live is starting to concentrate more and more on sex... This is obviously the story of man that gets cheated on and becomes jealous not to say crazy. I dislike this song, because it's like... "live goes rapcore".
