This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
If it's the thing that you fear
It will always be right there
A weight on your back a thorn in your side
Boy you can't run but you know you can't hide
'Cause the demons are right at your heels
Breakin' you down making you feel
Like you want to give up, like you just gotta give in
Like you're fighting a fight that you know you can't win
Don't you know you've got to
Stand up, shake it off, look 'em in the eye
You may never get another chance to
Make things right don't pass it by
Have you ever felt like you never said
All the things you wanted to say
This is your chance so stand up for yourself
Today's your day
There's no easy way to go about it
Baby you can't doubt it
When they can't hear you you've got to shout it
Cause some of us can't live without it
If it's the love that you need
You've got to ask politely
But never settle for less than the sky
And if you walk out don't ever let them see you cry
No, no, no
[Chorus]
Come on stand
Come on stand
I know you're tired and you've had enough
You're bruised and torn and you want to give up
Well there's an answer, listen up
Sometimes, sometimes you've got to stand up
Yeah
[Chorus x2]
It will always be right there
A weight on your back a thorn in your side
Boy you can't run but you know you can't hide
'Cause the demons are right at your heels
Breakin' you down making you feel
Like you want to give up, like you just gotta give in
Like you're fighting a fight that you know you can't win
Don't you know you've got to
Stand up, shake it off, look 'em in the eye
You may never get another chance to
Make things right don't pass it by
Have you ever felt like you never said
All the things you wanted to say
This is your chance so stand up for yourself
Today's your day
There's no easy way to go about it
Baby you can't doubt it
When they can't hear you you've got to shout it
Cause some of us can't live without it
If it's the love that you need
You've got to ask politely
But never settle for less than the sky
And if you walk out don't ever let them see you cry
No, no, no
[Chorus]
Come on stand
Come on stand
I know you're tired and you've had enough
You're bruised and torn and you want to give up
Well there's an answer, listen up
Sometimes, sometimes you've got to stand up
Yeah
[Chorus x2]

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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
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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
An ode to the self, and to others. Take hold of your self. Take hold of your life. Shit will come and people will hurt you and you'll feel low sometimes but pull out some of that inner strength and get back up.
