Waiting For Something

Sense Field

Recreate it with friends,
So I search for this thing,
This world could never bring,
It's the pain and the sting,
Takes it's toll on my soul
Stealing the feeling I know
Waiting for something to open my eyes,
I wait for this feeling to know I'm alive
Waiting for something to open my eyes,
I wait for this feeling to know I'm alive

You'll know where to start,
Piece together the hearts that were thrown away broken,
Run over and stolen,
We could find away, find away we could
Find away find away fine away, find away. Find away

Waiting for something to open my eyes,
I wait for this feeling to know I'm alive.
Waiting for something to open my eyes
I wait for this feeling to know I'm alive

You'll know where to start,
Together with hearts,
Thrown away broken, run over and stolen,
Thrown away broken

Waiting for something to open my eyes,
I wait for this feeling to know I'm alive
Waiting for something to open my eyes,
I wait for this feeling to know I'm alive
Find away. find away.

    It's one of those songs that I can't decide if I love or hate upon first listen. The lyrics are amazing and self explanitory... just needing that excitement, the thrill of life. I'll have to listen to it a few more times to decide how I feel.... same with the rest of the Cd.... although sometimes those turn out to be the best ones..... sometimes.

    this song is a favorite out of the many of their songs I have heard - the music behind the words just adds to the motivational drive of the song. imo, the song is about someone who has tried alternatives in reaching happiness, but all have led to some sort of downfall.. and now the person is looking for direction to truly begin "living" life. blah.. in a rush and that probably didn't make ANY sense. ahha. anyway.... off I goo..

    You are my everything, and in this case, my something. And I've tried everything to replace the void you've left behind, but nothing works. In the end, it will have to be you, piecing the parts of my broken heart, and making me alive again. L.O.C: 'Takes it's toll on my soul.'

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.

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.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
