Disappointment

The Cranberries

Disappointment, oh
You shouldn't have done, you couldn't have done
You wouldn't have done the things you did then
And we could've been happy
What a piteous thing, a hideous thing
Was tainted by the rest

But it won't get any harder
And I hope you'll find your way again
And it won't get any higher
And it all boils down to what you did there
There
There
There
There
There
There
There

In the night we fight, I fled you're right
It was exactly there
It was exactly there
I decided, decided, decided, decide
Ah-ah-ah-ah
We threw you out
In the night we fight
I fled you're right
It was exactly there
It was exactly there
I decided, decided, decided, decided

But it won't be any harder
And I hope you'll find your way again
And it won't get any higher
But it all boils down to what you did there
There
There
There
There
There
There
There

Disappointment
Disappointment
Disappointment

Disappointment
Disappointment
Disappointment

There
There
There
There

Disappointment
Disappointment
Disappointment

Disappointment
Disappointment
Disappointment

    Actually, the word is not "there", it is "then". "...it all boils down to what you did then"

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.

Amazing

From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
