Like a favorite slave, who's learned to hide behind the chains
Your presence sickens me, I'm trying to tell you something
Born into your bonds, played the puppet all along
But so quick to dismiss me, do you even know what's out there?
Cast this world aside, they'll bleed you till there's nothing left,
No limits to their lives, their end is never changing
All that you can see, kneels at His feet in sovereignty.
Time is complete, all that you can know
Will praise his name as you will.
Little finite minds, masters of their finite lives
But always seem to come up empty
Needing kingdoms built from birth but death reclaims them all to earth
Dust to dust and memories
And this orchestral masterpiece can only end in tragedy.
Can you hear God laughing
Deep unto deep
All creation braces for the passing of this 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,

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
