at the cockroach motel
where the rodents aren't for sale
and in room four someone is screaming
`'my t.v. don't come in well!`'
as bedposts smash the wall
someone's contracting gonorrhea
and brings home to the house to the lovely spouse
who says
`'i love you and it's good to see ya.`'

they cannot be sanctified.

happy true love, half an hour devour
30 minutes sweet for a lifetime sour
happy true love half an hour, it's no her
picking up the dirt that don't wash off in the shower.

they always get you when you're sleeping
they get you wehn you sleep
they'll forget you when they're sleeping
they'll forget you when they sleep.

downstairs in the lounge, there ain't no one around
through tidal waves of whiskey
you can hear the ice cubes sound.
the bartender smiles, though he'll do just what it takes
while a blonde smokes down her cigarette
to the lipstick mark she makes.

they cannot be sanctified.

happy true love, half an hour devour
30 minutes sweet for a lifetime sour
happy true love half an hour, it's no her
picking up the dirt that don't wash off in the shower.

they always get you when you're sleeping
they get you wehn you sleep
they'll forget you when they're sleeping
they'll forget you when they sleep.

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. 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.
