Stutter step through another trap set by deception
Mention rejection
Always lies in your eyes
Settles in your action
Jeopardize everything that I want
And I won't compromise anything anymore
In any way victimize myself any more
Liberty (yeah)

Manipulations on my mind
Expectations well defined
Frustrate me
Liberate me

Cause everything's falling apart
You can't control me, You can't control me
Everything's falling apart
Now I can't see you
Doesn't matter what I do
I can't see you

Cause everything's falling apart
I got exposed to a deeper form of infection
Shout out "I need acception"
Always lies in your eyes
Settles in your action

Criticize everything that I do
And I will overcome anything that's in store
Nevermore look up to you and adore
Liberty (yeah)

[Chorus]

Manipulation is on my mind
Inspect me, try to check me
Expectations well defined
Dissect me, want to wreck me
Violator of my own will
Accept me- reject me
Separate or shoot to kill

[Chorus]

    ok i will talk about the song, which will be different. i believe its having expectations reqiured of you and not being able to meet them and feeling a complete loss of control over a situation. if you've been there it real does feel like your life is falling apart and you can't control your own destiny, that failure is inevitable.

    They are, it's just that 98% of other people who were thinking of commenting realised that the messages they'd post would look anything remotely coherent to the english language. How did you 2 people (yes, talking to the person who asks a question before even saying anything and the person who needs to say things twice just in case people decided to skip the first comment for good reasons) fall into the 2%?

    I agree... apperantly they are pretty well known in japan but not really in north america... but if you think about it... look at all the bands with no talent like the black eyed peas and and such... all you need is one good song to get famous... after that you can coast for a long time

    I agree with mintcardream.....you're always striving to meet the expectations someone else wants from you....but you know it's no use....all you want is acceptance even if you can't succeed....failure is the only thing that will happen and that you just can't control what happens all the time.....

    Love this song, it is just different. In a way, I feel what the song describes just hearing it.

    Yeah that bit rocks, I think mintcardream is right except it's also about trying to break free from these expectations with "You can't control me" and the fact the whole song is explaining how it hurts him "Disect me, Wanna wreck me"

    it talks about rebelling against the system, dont let others pick who you are, and turn your back on those you want you to change for their sake.

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.

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
