Where were the eyes that followed?
How could they've found?
These misery's merchants
Struck the message deep
We have come to stay

Dogs fled there in the dark of his path
Feared him as once they all did

Like a ghost in daylight
On an overcrowded street
He wishes
To be something he is not

Like a shadow at midnight
That originated in air
He wishes for release

Deep in the back it had caught him
The anchor they threw at his life
Oh these misery's merchants
Dragged through life as a burden

Rushed off to his cage of glass
To open the single window
A means of escape, out in the open
There are still holes in these walls
Puking information into the unwanting
Probing the last hope of defense
So he plugged up the holes
Shut the outside window
In doing that, madness paid a visit

And then suddenly in mid-thought
Escape was a factor and as from inside
Pushing out were words
Through fingers came uncovering
Revealing the truth of him there in the dark

Skin began to crawl as they neared him
Is all pleasure release?
Oh these misery's merchants
Saw the message clear
It is time to pay

Dogs fled there in the dark of his path
Feared him as once they all did

Like a ghost in daylight
On an overcrowded street

    Sounds like... I don't know, it's about someone feeling rejected by the world, so he seeks solace and acceptance in a cult... then he feels trapped - they're caging him in, feeding him information that doesn't make sense to him, and now he just wants to escape. He manages to get out, but for not long. He's pursued. It's time to pay. But that's just a personal interpretation, and probably not too accurate. Especially with the whole thing about "dogs fleeing in the dark of his path." That's actually a pretty frightening image.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
