its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Cash in your weekend treasures
For a suit and tie, a second wife
Now, I'm not saying that you could've done better
Just remember that I, I've seen that fire alight
Tell me, do you?
Tell me, do you still remember feeling young?
Tell me the truth
Tell me, do you still remember feeling young
Strong enough to get it wrong
In front of all these people?
Just for tonight, look inside
And spark that memory of you
Strong enough to get it wrong
In front of all these people
Fearless, fearless
Fearless, fearless
Now, if happiness is always measured
By the life you design, that car in the drive
Then you should feel better than ever
But you know as well as I, it's all lies
Tell me, do you?
Tell me, do you still remember feeling young?
Tell me the truth
Tell me, do you still remember feeling young?
Strong enough to get it wrong
In front of all these people?
Just for tonight, look inside
And spark that memory of you
Strong enough to get it wrong
In front of all these people
Fearless, fearless
Fearless, fearless
Fearless, fearless
Fearless, fearless
Tell me, do you?
Tell me, do you still remember feeling young?
For a suit and tie, a second wife
Now, I'm not saying that you could've done better
Just remember that I, I've seen that fire alight
Tell me, do you?
Tell me, do you still remember feeling young?
Tell me the truth
Tell me, do you still remember feeling young
Strong enough to get it wrong
In front of all these people?
Just for tonight, look inside
And spark that memory of you
Strong enough to get it wrong
In front of all these people
Fearless, fearless
Fearless, fearless
Now, if happiness is always measured
By the life you design, that car in the drive
Then you should feel better than ever
But you know as well as I, it's all lies
Tell me, do you?
Tell me, do you still remember feeling young?
Tell me the truth
Tell me, do you still remember feeling young?
Strong enough to get it wrong
In front of all these people?
Just for tonight, look inside
And spark that memory of you
Strong enough to get it wrong
In front of all these people
Fearless, fearless
Fearless, fearless
Fearless, fearless
Fearless, fearless
Tell me, do you?
Tell me, do you still remember feeling young?

"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
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.
i dare say this tomlinson is one of the best writers of his generation, adding he has such a strong voice, i really admire him. to me, this song is all about growing up with hardest things you ever thought you would face, is all about thinking back to the years when nothing felt too complicated and still using that sparkle to solve your present problems. such a bop!
