"get your ass back here
get your ass back here"

"i want to come back there, but i'm fucking hanging out with knmfmdm
i can't even fucking say it"

"kmfdm are blowing themselves to hell
kmfdm are blowing themselves to hell
kmfdm are blowing themselves to hell
blowing themselves to hell
blowing themselves to hell..."

juke joint jezebel, r.u.ok?
help us save us take us away
money, power, murder, blame
ooh la la, not in my name

a drug against war, attak/reload
kmfdm: kill mother fucking depeche mode
son of a gun, what do you know?
kmfdm: kill mother fucking depeche mode

don't you blow your top, every day's a good day
spit sperm, back- back in the ussa
itchy bitchy, from here on out
come on/go off, dirty, kraut

disobedience, anarchy
bullets bombs and bigotry
torture, terror, bitches, boots
never say never, thank you, brute

sex on the flag, ready to blow
kmfdm: kill mother fucking depeche mode
more and faster, rebels in control
kmfdm: kill mother fucking depeche mode

german engineering, astounding ingenuity
29 years of conceptual continuity

viva la mort, people of the lie
no meat no man, d.i.y.
the unrestrained use of excessive force
world war iii, move on, adios

a drug against war, attak/reload
kmfdm: kill mother fucking depeche mode
son of a gun, what do you know?
kmfdm: kill mother fucking depeche mode
kmfdm: kill mother fucking depeche mode
kmfdm: kill mother fucking depeche fucking mode

    My Interpretation

    This song feels like a of tribute to some of their great masterpieces. Like "A drug against war", "Attak/reload", "Son of a gun", "Adios", etc.

    Awesome song tho, still good ol' classic KMFDM. l

    Coming back to this I realise that 90% of the lyrics are titles of their other songs LOL. This song is pretty much just a tribute to their entire band.

    Kill Mother Fucking Depeche Mode is a tribute to what people used to think KMFDM was an abbreviation of.

    And the german ingenuity part is referring to the band being german and the 29 years is how old the band was when the song was made (1984-2013).

    Pretty cool

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
