Here it goes, and this wont take long
Just let me dedicate a song
To a girl who turned this boy to stone
And you know who you are
Here's a hint, she doesn't have a car
Or the time to be in love with me

Why did you say
This feeling has to stay
Left me to wait for so long

You don't have to stay
But I hoped that you would anyway
All you do is up and go

Excuse me, but this wont take long

I'm sorry for writing you this song
But just what do you think you deserve?
Because when you had the chance, for romance
You burned it at both ends
I guess I'm not sorry in the least

What made you say
This feeling has to stay
Breaking this off for so long

You don't have to stay
But I hoped that you would anyway
All you do is up and go
You don't have to go
What makes you stay, we'll never know
All you do is up and go
Up and go
Up and go

What would make you stay? (Up and go)
What would make you stay?
I guess we'll never know
I guess we'll never know
I guess we'll never- (up and go)

You don't have to stay
But I hope that you do it anyway
(Up and go) all you do is up and go
(Up and go) you don't have to go
What makes you stay, we'll never know
(Up and go) all you do is up and go
(Up and go) you didn't have to stay
(What makes you stay, we'll never know) so you didn't have to run away
(Up and go) all you do is up and go

(Up and go) up and go
(I guess we'll never know) I guess we'll never know, I guess we'll never know

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

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.
