I was once a boy.
'Til I cut my penis off
And I grew a hairy skull
Of stubborn fire
Then I was a girl.
'Til I sewed my hole up
And I grew a hairy heart
Of dark desire
But
There's no answer. just surrender
Send all your barriers into the fire
And
Let no foot. mark your ground
Let no hand hold you down.
You were once so sad
Till you cut your suffer off
Now you please yourself
And fight your own wars
And you were once so weak
'Til you sewed your wounds up
Now you've learnt to sing
About sun and shine!
Be you own hero
Be your own savior
Send all your suffering
Into the fire
'Til I cut my penis off
And I grew a hairy skull
Of stubborn fire
Then I was a girl.
'Til I sewed my hole up
And I grew a hairy heart
Of dark desire
But
There's no answer. just surrender
Send all your barriers into the fire
And
Let no foot. mark your ground
Let no hand hold you down.
You were once so sad
Till you cut your suffer off
Now you please yourself
And fight your own wars
And you were once so weak
'Til you sewed your wounds up
Now you've learnt to sing
About sun and shine!
Be you own hero
Be your own savior
Send all your suffering
Into the fire

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
I think it's talking about being yourself. Whether your a guy who like's guys or w/e. You don't have to be what society see's you as.
I agree, I think the song is about being yourself. Not being obstructed by gender roles. He means that a guy is not just a penis and a girl is not just a "hole". You shouldn't let anyone stop you from being yourself based on that. It's also about someone coming to terms with that and being who they are and not caring about their gender stereotype.
yeah definatly. good song
I dunno, to me it kind of seems like he's trying to say that the person let go of their sexual organs because maybe they chained the person down.. I mean how sex and stuff like that always gets in the way.. And once you get rid of your ridiculous need of the opposite sex, you're free and you can just live.
added note: on the line "then i grew a hairy skull" i've seen it posted as "hair scar" but w/e.
the first time i heard this song i was like wtf. but it's amazing
hairy*. i thought i should correct myself. there was a lot more to that comment, but it looks like i was cut off. oh well...
the song is basically tying in with the album its meant to be him transfering through the album as reflected in the snows/ song names
Lycanthropy- is the name for transforming into a wolf in mythology
i think the basic idea of this song is about being yourself. doing what you want to. alot of songs are bout such things
Fantastically experimental song from the androgynous Patrick Wolf that's about, well, androgyny.
It's actually kind of alarming how many people are so willing to simply interpret this as a typical "Be Yourself" type song. Is anyone else concerned about the grizzly metaphors he uses? He's not completely glorifying being independent, he's saying that there's an ugly price for cutting off these parts of your identity. The whole "cut your suffer off" seems like a warning that if you were to do what he suggests you'd become rather inhuman.
yeah, there's a price on his optimism.. I was too ready to accept.. I don't want to sew up my heart. And I can't be my own hero or saviour. I am not enough. I need something else, something other, something outside. Like crazy Patrick Wolf songs.
