Wrapped up tight in the blanket of night… with you
It’s not your first time, and it sure ain’t mine
We’re so in love and full of hate inside
How deep are these scars; is that all we’ve left behind
I don’t know what it’s called when you walk away
I don’t know what it’s called when you decide to stay
The stars don’t care about you and me... tonight
There’s no fate but what we make together
Nothing’s preordained; oh, we’re deranged
You can’t see what I can’t say that you won’t be
We should’ve known right from the start… we’re doomed
Days into weeks then months turn into years
We’re getting the last laugh because
No matter what they try, we’re still fucking here
I don’t know what it’s called when I walk away
I don’t know what it’s called when I decide to stay
I don’t know what it’s called when we walk away
I don’t know what it’s called when we decide to stay

    First song I heard by them - best song I ever heard by them. This song makes you wanna stand up, jump up and down and shout the lyrics out loud for all you're worth. It's THAT good.

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.
