And the same when autumn comes
Cold air I breathe in my lungs
Somethings new but nothings changed
Familiar feelings just the same

Soon too the warm air comes by
Lie back and stare at blue skies
Thinking back away and from
When I'll be here and you'll be gone

Further, further, further, further,
Further, further, further, further from me

I think now of summers high
And reminisce of past times gone by
Only remembered now in
Earth, trees the stars that have been there
And there forever held
Kept safe but memories never told
But felt if you went by
In never changing sky

And will be gone

Further, further, further, further,
Further, further, further, further
Further, further, further, further,
Further, further, further, further

God's love will save our light
And we'll come shining bright
God's love will save our sun
And thy will be done

    It's such a beautiful song. It's like how we all have special things that remind us of people we know, places we've been. And how those thoughts are instanly relived just by seeing something. And reguardless of what happens they will always be with us.

    This album was recently released in the States (I believe it was released in the UK over a year ago.. possibly longer.) Love this song, it's pretty but always struggled wiht the lyrics. It seesm to be very siritual in certain ways... but almost Emersonian (of the Ralph Waldo vareity) in others. I agree it's generally about reminiscence, but in context that we are here a very short time, and nature provides continuity and familiarity. It's a theory anyway.

    Religion and it really annoyed me, it has nothing o do about having a good time with your mates I wish it did as its a fantastic song but he's talking about how he's found religion and some things are the same, but he feels different, I cant belive it I love the song it just annoys me he goes and ruins it by "Thy will be done" worst lyrics ive heard in a long time

    I agree with the last person. Great song, but to be honest I don't give a shit about the religious message. The more secular but spiritual messages about purpose and moral by Incubus are way better.

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.
