"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.
Out of my way, out of my day
Out of your mind and into mine
Into no one, into not one
Into your step but out of time
Headstrong, what's wrong?
I've already heard this song before
You arrived but now it's time to kiss your ass goodbye
Dragging me down, why are you around?
So useless
It ain't my fall, it ain't my call
It ain't my bitch (yeah)
It ain't my bitch
Oh, down on the sun, down and no fun
Down and out, where the hell you been?
Damn it all down, damn it unbound
Damn it all down to hell again
Stand tall, can't fall
Never even bend at all before
You arrived, but now it's time to kiss your ass goodbye
Dragging me down, why are you around?
So useless, yeah
It ain't my fall, it ain't my call
It ain't my bitch
No, out of my way
Out of my way, out of my day
Out of your mind and into mine
Into no one, into not one
Into your step but out of time
Headstrong, what's wrong?
I've already heard this song before
You arrived but now it's time to kiss your ass goodbye
And now it's time to kiss your ass goodbye
Dragging me down, why are you around?
So useless, yeah
It ain't my fall, it ain't my call
It ain't my bitch
No way but down, why are you around?
No fooling, yeah
It ain't my smile, it ain't my style
It ain't my bitch
Oh, it ain't mine
Ain't mine, your kind
You're stepping out of time
Ain't mine, your kind
You're stepping out of time
Taking me down, why are you around?
No fooling
It ain't my fall, it ain't my call
It ain't my, oh, bitch
You ain't mine
Out of your mind and into mine
Into no one, into not one
Into your step but out of time
Headstrong, what's wrong?
I've already heard this song before
You arrived but now it's time to kiss your ass goodbye
Dragging me down, why are you around?
So useless
It ain't my fall, it ain't my call

It ain't my bitch
Oh, down on the sun, down and no fun
Down and out, where the hell you been?
Damn it all down, damn it unbound
Damn it all down to hell again
Stand tall, can't fall
Never even bend at all before
You arrived, but now it's time to kiss your ass goodbye
Dragging me down, why are you around?
So useless, yeah
It ain't my fall, it ain't my call
It ain't my bitch
No, out of my way
Out of my way, out of my day
Out of your mind and into mine
Into no one, into not one

Ain't mine, your kind
You're stepping out of time
Taking me down, why are you around?
No fooling
It ain't my fall, it ain't my call
It ain't my, oh, bitch
You ain't mine

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/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
well, i do think that this song is great, even the lyrics, just imagine feeling the same way, you would feel the same way, so i find lyrics are ok
