Let me into your sweet dreams
Let me in
Let me into your sweet dreams

I'm watching you, go to sleep
I'm watching you but you can't see me
Dream on, sweet dreams
Dream on, let me into your sweet dreams

I am the pain in your brain when you dream
I am the tears you cry, when you're asleep
I'm the slimy demon hanging on your wall
Touching you, watching you dream of me falling on you

Let me in
Let me into your dreams
Let me in let me in let me in
Let me in
Let me into your sweet dreams

I'm clawing at your skin, you gotta let me in
You'll never know my friend
Why i've come to steal your soul
Oh yeah! but your soul has turned to gold

Keep on dreaming as i feed on your soul
Keep on dreaming as your soul it turns to gold

Let me in
Let me into your sweet dreams
Let me in let me in let me in into your dreams
Let me in let me in let me in sweet dreams

I need your soul
I need your soul to pay my way out of here
Let me in!
Let me into your dreams, sweet dreams
I'm burning up, you gotta let me in
I'm burning up, you gotta let me into your soul
You gotta get me out of this fire, I'm burning up
Get me out get me out get me out
Of
Hell

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
