Minus One

Morning Again

For the child (child)
Torn form discipline
Laws recondition
Behold the family
Born of vengeance
Spilled my flesh and blood
Forced a setting sun
I am the parent in the shadows
Seeping
Crawling
Boiling
I am blood
I am Seeping
I am Crawling
I am Boiling
I am blood
Minus one
Minus one
Minus one
I am minus one
Chained to a law that keeps me down
I'm tied to my affliction
The rope's been cut as family portrait turns to incision
Your day has come
The wait is done
For every child that has succumbed to the force or lure
The twist in your remorseless mind
So he's not yours
So he's not yours
Need he be to see the sense
Reassess these morals
It's all circumstance
So easy to take a stand till it affects you
Spilled my flesh and blood
Forced a setting sun
I am the parent in the shadows
Seeping
Crawling
Boiling
I am blood
I am Seeping
I am Crawling
I am Boiling
I am blood
Minus one
Minus one
Minus one
I am minus one
Torn from discipline
Laws recondition
Unleash a family born of this condition
You know your laws could stand some correction
This action is more than worthy of exception-correction-exemption
Maybe next election we'll bring the masses to a moral inspection
Mend degeneration
Spark rejuvenation of values in this deception of a nation
Of a nation
Of a nation
Of a nation
Of a nation
Of a nation
I cannot fight the urge
My personal justice wells up in me
As I sweat these pleads for your end
I sleep at the food of your bed
With tearing eyes
And no
I cannot forget your face
Forget your face
I cry for him
And I cry
He has been stolen from me
A youth imbedded in soil
Forever stolen from me
This brand that sears my heart
Forget your face
I cannot forget your face

Fast Car
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 is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
