I don't want your solutions
And I don't want to deal with your mistakes
No matter how much medication
The doctor says I need to take
I still say

You're the ones that kill your babies
You're the ones that fuck your kids
You're the ones that throw each other away
You're the ones sitting in church every Sunday

And I don't want your religions
And I don't need your sympathies
And I don't want a part of all your hatred
No matter how much you yell at me
I still say

    not sure i agree with this song and/or you guys' interpretation of it. wiredmonkiekiller: are you saying that the only people that do 'evil shit' are the ppl that go to church? wow, that's pretty friggin ignorant.

    i think the song is mainly aimed at the lead singer's parents, as they seem to be extremely religious. my point is that not every religious person is an 'evil shit'-doing freak.

    No, the lyrics definately are NOT aimed toward Sean's parents, lol. Sean and his mom are really close. It's most likely not meant toward anyone in particular, but just trying to say that the religious population isn't as innocent as they pretend to be.

    Religion itself has been known to pull people apart- I dont agree with it, but I do beleive in christianity. Anyways- I think it is true though. There are so many hypocrates who think they are good people only because they go to churh every sunday

    dude, this song is really, really deep, and it's an awesome song. it's talkin about hypocrits in an overall manner, and just as capriciouspoet said, "religion itself has been known to pull people apart" i am catholic, so i dont agree with ALL of the song, but sometimes yah, i can see what they meant with the song.

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.
