Dusting off your savior
Well, you were always my favorite
Always my man, all in a hand
To celebrate you is greater
Now that I can
Always my man
Now you see what I came for
No one here is to blame for
Misunderstand, all in a hand
Just like you 'cause you made me
All that I am
All in a hand

A butterfly that flaps its wings affecting almost everything
The more I hear the orchestra, the more I have something to bring
And now I see you in a beautiful and different light
He's just a man and any damage done will be alright

Call (call out my name)
Out my name
(Call and I came)
Call (call out my name)
And I came
(Call and I came)

Dusting off your savior
Forgiving any behavior
He's just a man, all in a hand
Your hero's destined to waver
Anyone can
Always my man
I would never betray you
Look at me who could raise you, face in the sand
Safe in your hand
You were always my favorite
Always my man
All in a hand

We are the Red Hots and we're loving up the love-me-nots
The flowers in your flower pots are dancing on the table tops
And now I see you in a beautiful and different light
He's just a man and everything he does will be alright

Call (call out my name)
Out my name
(Call and I came)
Call (call out my name)
And I came
(Call and I came)

Dusting off your savior
The life that you have narrated
You were my man

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.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
