The streets are crowded and the walls aren't clean
The world's being taken over by machines
I can't find a refuge or a place to go
I try to share but they don't wanna know
The streets of gold are where I wanna be
But the closest I've come is deep inside my dreams
Eager for the things that you've got for me
But the world keeps me from focusing
Lord won'tcha kindly take us out of here
It's dark outside my lantern's broke and I'm scared
I said God please take us out of here
And we'll leave it all behind for all we care
We're going nowhere
Take us somewhere
Anywhere but here
Times are tough the pillars are crumbling down
I'm looking for a place that I can turn around
Sick and tired of these mindless matters
Wish we were eatin with your son off golden platters
It's getting closer the day is drawing near
We're begging God please take us there
The streets are crowded and the walls aren't clean
The world's being taken over by machines
Lord won'tcha kindly take us out of here
It's dark outside my lantern's broke and I'm scared
I said God please take us out of here
And we'll leave it all behind for all we care
We're going nowhere
Take us somewhere
Anywhere but here

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.

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.

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.
