Pause this moment
And hold on to it
Swing sets and starry nights
Could only make this right

Rainy days and broken street lights
Could only make us stronger
Could only make us strong

Every time I fall asleep
I can’t help but see your face
And that’s when I know
That I need you around

(Could only make us stronger)
It’s not the age of walking through this blindly
So take my hand and follow close behind me
Thinking is gone

So if this chance will prove it’s worth the torment
Then you will see that all this time is well spent
Thinking is gone

Through my hands, my eyes, they weep
(And every single line I keep)
For the memories you gave to me
(And everything you gave to me)

And that’s when I know
That I need you around

It’s not the age of walking through this blindly
So take my hand and follow close behind me
Thinking is gone

So if this chance will prove it’s worth the torment
Then you will see that all this time is well spent
Thinking is gone

I hope it’s cold tonight
So I can hold you forever

It seems the choices we make
They seem to haunt us
While your other options staring you down
Making you wish you hadn’t

Second guessing yourself
It just can’t be the answer
We’ve learned our lesson
So I guess it’s better late than never

Is this the moment that you want to hold on to?
Because if it is, well then I’m never gonna leave you again

Pause this moment

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.

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”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
