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.
Wherefore, God had highly exalted Him and given Him a name
Which is above every name
And at the feet of Jesus every knee shall bow
Of things of heaven, of things of earth and things under this earth
And at the name of Jesus every tongue shall confess that he is King
Under God the father
Christ is king, He is God
Who do you seek, you deny
That in the beginning was the word the word was with God
The word was God, so why do you fight
Which were born, not of blood
Nor of the will flesh, nor of the will of man
But of God the word became flesh
And dwelt among us and we beheld his glory
Full of grace and truth
Who's gonna bow down? Every knee!
Who's gonna confess? Every tongue!
Who's gonna bow down? Every knee!
Who's gonna confess? Every tongue!
Prophets of the past
Claim the son of man would come with their hands lifted up
And their eyes to the sky
They proclaim the name of Jesus Christ
People may ask why, who do you choose to live this life
But they know the truth, for he is the truth, desperate is their life
So what's the use
Here's one for the phunky drummer
Keep the rhythm rolling in your face
I got the bass, without a trace he's going
He's gone and I'm on the microphone and I'm known to get rough
So take some time out my rhyme bro and strut your stuff
Prophets we're four, I show you what's in store
Give praises to my ring so now, can I get an encore?
And keep clapping, keep clapping, keep clapping, keep clapping
Hey, yo what's happening, brothers are getting jacked
When you step to me with that disrespect
I think it's time for us to put you evil butt in check
And if you don't believe me, tell me who is next
And somebody tell the devil, that his match is met
From the word of God so you know it's the truth
And I tell you with power chump, what you gonna do?
I'll make it known again, that we're just spreading the good news
And we'll have you crews saying your Jesus is one smooth dude
Who's gonna bow down? Every knee!
Who's gonna confess? Every tongue!
Wherefore, God had highly exalted Him and given Him a name
Which is above every name, and at the feet of Jesus every knee shall bow
Of things of heaven, of things of earth and things under this earth
And at the name of Jesus every tongue shall confess that he is King
Under God the father
Which is above every name
And at the feet of Jesus every knee shall bow
Of things of heaven, of things of earth and things under this earth
And at the name of Jesus every tongue shall confess that he is King
Under God the father
Christ is king, He is God
Who do you seek, you deny
That in the beginning was the word the word was with God
The word was God, so why do you fight
Which were born, not of blood
Nor of the will flesh, nor of the will of man
But of God the word became flesh
And dwelt among us and we beheld his glory
Full of grace and truth
Who's gonna bow down? Every knee!
Who's gonna confess? Every tongue!
Who's gonna bow down? Every knee!
Who's gonna confess? Every tongue!

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.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
This song is self-explanatory. All I have to say is... AMEN!
rock on ardent..this song sounds awesome - i havent herd it b4....hope its as good as the lyrics are :D
