This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Where are you going
With your long face
Pullin' down
Don't hide away,
Like an ocean
That you can't see
But you can smell
And the sound of waves crash down.
I am no superman
I have no reasons for you.
I am no hero,
Aw that for sure,
But I do know one thing,
That's where you are is where I belong.
I do know
Where you go,
Is where I wanta be.
Where are you going,
Where do you go.
Are you looking for answers,
To questions, under the stars
Well if along the way,
You are grown weary,
You can rest with me
Until a brighter day
When you ok.
I am no superman,
I have no answers for you.
I am no hero,
And that's for sure.
But I know one thing,
That's where you are, is where I belong.
I do know
Where you go,
Is where I want to be.
Where are you going
Where do you go.
Where do you go.
Where are you going,
Where do you go.
I am no Superman
I have no answers,
For you.
I am no hero,
Aw that's for sure.
But I do know one thing,
That's where are,
Is where I belong.
I do know
Where you go,
Is where I wanta be.
Where are you going
Where do you go.
And a where are you going.
Where...lets go!
With your long face
Pullin' down
Don't hide away,
Like an ocean
That you can't see
But you can smell
And the sound of waves crash down.
I am no superman
I have no reasons for you.
I am no hero,
Aw that for sure,
But I do know one thing,
That's where you are is where I belong.
I do know
Where you go,
Is where I wanta be.
Where are you going,
Where do you go.
Are you looking for answers,
To questions, under the stars
Well if along the way,
You are grown weary,
You can rest with me
Until a brighter day
When you ok.
I am no superman,
I have no answers for you.
I am no hero,
And that's for sure.
But I know one thing,
That's where you are, is where I belong.
I do know
Where you go,
Is where I want to be.
Where are you going
Where do you go.
Where do you go.
Where are you going,
Where do you go.
I am no Superman
I have no answers,
For you.
I am no hero,
Aw that's for sure.
But I do know one thing,
That's where are,
Is where I belong.
I do know
Where you go,
Is where I wanta be.
Where are you going
Where do you go.
And a where are you going.
Where...lets go!

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.
No Surprises
Radiohead
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.
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/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
i think that this is for someone who has a lot of questions about life, someone searching for answers, unsure of who she is, and uncontent with where where she currently is. so she wanders, not knowing how to start or where to go. Now, there's someone although confused as to why she's still feeling that way, promises to stay with her, or go wherever she wants to. and even if she makes him feel that he fell short on what she is looking for, he'd stay with her because that's where he belong.
oh well, it's just me. :)
Dave has said that the song is ambiguous, and to try to prove that to himself, he has dedicated it to farmers at Farm Aid (2002), for "peaceful solutions" (10.24.02) and for soldiers (D&T tour 2003).
But I think the song was written with a woman in mind (his wife most likely). He is saying "no matter where you go or where life takes us, I'll be there by your side." As Dave has said in interviews, home is wherever his family is. So I'm not sure why Dave wants it to be "ambiguous" when it has a universal message in the context of "I'll always be with you." It's actually one of Dave's most universal songs.
i suppose that the lyrics to this song could have possibly come from the same inspiration that caused Dave to write "Busted Stuff"... its a more introspective version of the same song... not as cute, and not nearly as creative, but definitely an important part of the whole feeling you get from being Busted Up...
My impression is that its about a girl that doesnt want to date anyone... she just has friends, and she might like Dave, but Dave is trying to see if she is interested by dropping this hint... in the form of a song...
Call me crazy (or wishful thinking) but I believe this song is to his fans. Why I say this is because of these lines: Are you lookin' for answers To questions under the stars And if along the way You are growing weary You can rest with me until a brighter day, you're okay
I think this is him telling us that his songs he writes because that's what he does. He's not trying to solve everyones' problems or give everyone answers because he doesn't have any answers, but if we want to relax and listen to his music and enjoy life for a moment, then he is more than happy to do that for us. Where WE are is where HE belongs. (and I certainly agree with that) Just my opinion.
i dunno but if you listen to the instruments and to the melody, it is very Crash into Me. i like how the lyrics portrays honesty in a sense that a man tells what he can not give to someone, but despite his inadequacy, he assures that he will always be with her.
ps its kinda romantic yet impractical (imagine, having someone who only promises to be with you).
pps i like AmyKate's opinion, one of those read-between-the- lines thing :)
The perfect song to complete The Lillywhite Sessions and make them "Busted Stuff"... I loved the Lillywhite Sessions when I heard them last year and this song just adds so much to them and completes the CD... It's a great follow-up to the mellow-ness of Grace is Gone and Bartender...
Plus, I like what gabe_ph is saying... It's just a guy telling a girl that he can't promise her everything, but he will still always be with her...
so good.. so so good..
is there possibly a better band out there? I do not think so...
Steppenwolf is very right. In my opinion i cant think of a better band
yeah DMB is the greatest. anyways i think this song is about how dave loves a woman but hes not sure if she returns the affection. he wants to be with her all of the time but shes not there. tell me what you think
