its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
With one more look at you
I could learn to tame the clouds and let the sun shine through
Leave a troubled past and I might start a new
I'll solve the mysteries if you're the prize, refresh these tired eyes
With one more look at you
I might overcome the anger, that I've learned to know
Find a peace of mind, I lost so long ago
Your gentle touch has made me strong again, and I'll belong again
For when you look at me
I'm everything and more than I had dreamed I'd be
My spirit feels a promise, I won't be alone
We'll love and live more, love and live forever
With one more look at you
I'd learn to change the stars and change our fortunes too
I'd have the constellations paint your portrait too
So all the world might share this wondrous sight
The world could end each night
With one more look at you
With one more look at you
I want one more look at you
Are you watching me now? Watch closely now
Your eyes are like fingers
Touching my body, arousing me so
I'm riding the passion arising inside me
How high can I go?
You're comin' with me, I'm gonna show you how
And when it's scary
I won't look down
Are you watching me now? Watch closely now
I see the hunger arise in your eyes
And it's urging me, urging me, urging me on
Higher and harder and it's faster and farther
Than I've ever gone
Your pleasure is part of the secret of flight that I found
When I feel like an eagle, my soul has no place on the ground
Born out of madness, I'll double the danger with no net at all
If you don't look away I'm secure, in the fact that you won't let me fall
Watch closely now, are you watching me now?
I'm the master magician, who'll help you escape
From the lies you've been told
When they're breaking your back, bring the last straw to me
I'll turn straw into gold
I break chains made of boredom that others have lived with for years
I leave good news on doorsteps and laughs where there used to be tears
I'm gonna need you later, when you're not around
But I can take it, yeah, I won't look down
Watch closely now, are you watching me now?
Watch me now, are you watching me now?
Are you watching me now
I could learn to tame the clouds and let the sun shine through
Leave a troubled past and I might start a new
I'll solve the mysteries if you're the prize, refresh these tired eyes
With one more look at you
I might overcome the anger, that I've learned to know
Find a peace of mind, I lost so long ago
Your gentle touch has made me strong again, and I'll belong again
For when you look at me
I'm everything and more than I had dreamed I'd be
My spirit feels a promise, I won't be alone
We'll love and live more, love and live forever
With one more look at you
I'd learn to change the stars and change our fortunes too
I'd have the constellations paint your portrait too
So all the world might share this wondrous sight
The world could end each night
With one more look at you
With one more look at you
I want one more look at you
Are you watching me now? Watch closely now
Your eyes are like fingers
Touching my body, arousing me so
I'm riding the passion arising inside me
How high can I go?
You're comin' with me, I'm gonna show you how
And when it's scary
I won't look down
Are you watching me now? Watch closely now
I see the hunger arise in your eyes
And it's urging me, urging me, urging me on
Higher and harder and it's faster and farther

Watch closely now, are you watching me now?
Watch me now, are you watching me now?
Are you watching me now

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
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.
