High life
We are all tethered, we are all torn from our stations
And left here to weather that never does what it should.
In somebody’s house in somebody’s kitchen refrigerator, spot somebody’s picture.
You’ve never seen and probably never will but still, you steal.
Stay in my mind, I need someone to recall.
Stay as you were, when you leaned in the light of the hall.
stop swallowing glass just to cough up some blood for attention.
stop smiling at me, as if to say, you proved me wrong and its all ok, well its not.
You start to choke cause you hate cigarettes
Mostly you know this sometimes you forget.
Well it starts to add up like a bad debt follows you.
Stay in my mind, I need someone to recall.
Stay as you were, when you leaned in the light of the hall.
Stay still I need to know where you are.
Stay near, my memory fails when you’re far.
They march through this town like a circus parade
Ransack the gullible, set fires, get paid.
And all through the streets a commotion is made
But when you look the next day, nothing has changed here at all.
And left here to weather that never does what it should.
In somebody’s house in somebody’s kitchen refrigerator, spot somebody’s picture.
You’ve never seen and probably never will but still, you steal.
Stay in my mind, I need someone to recall.
Stay as you were, when you leaned in the light of the hall.
stop swallowing glass just to cough up some blood for attention.
stop smiling at me, as if to say, you proved me wrong and its all ok, well its not.
You start to choke cause you hate cigarettes
Mostly you know this sometimes you forget.
Well it starts to add up like a bad debt follows you.
Stay in my mind, I need someone to recall.
Stay as you were, when you leaned in the light of the hall.
Stay still I need to know where you are.
Stay near, my memory fails when you’re far.
They march through this town like a circus parade
Ransack the gullible, set fires, get paid.
And all through the streets a commotion is made
But when you look the next day, nothing has changed here at all.

Life in Your Way
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.
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
