Ons is gyselaars in een groot kultuurfeestent

word vermaak deur mense met meer selfvertoue as talent

Ons is gyselaars in een groot kultuurfeestent

word vermaak deur mense met meer selfvertoue as talent

“Ek wil ‘n CD uitgee, wil hê dat hul my foto in Huisgenoot plaas”

“Ek het geen ideë van vermaak nie, maar wil ‘n video instuur vir Geraas”

En sy eerste treffer klink so

Ons is gyselaars in een groot kultuurfeestent

word vermaak deur mense met meer selfvertoue as talent

Elke Jan Rap en sy maat het ‘n CD op die rak

Ons verstik aan al die "treffers" hoe belaglik of hoe swak

“My drome is onrealisties, ek’s onder die indruk dat my beker oorloop”

“Maar ek weet as ek ou liedjies kan oorsing sal hordes mense dit steeds koop”

En sy tweede trefferklink so

Elke dag ‘n nuwe uitreiking, hoe nootvas of hoe plat

As jou pa die geld het kan jy maar die vonke laat spat

Die dam word al hoe voller en ons breine al meer leeg

Van die hordes mans en vroue wat musiekverkragting pleeg

Ons is gyselaars in een groot kultuurfeestent

word vermaak deur mense met meer selfvertoue as talent

Ons is gyselaars in een groot kultuurfeestent

word vermaak deur mense met meer selfvertoue as talent

    Goeie Dag

    I'm going to translate this song for you - because I can!

    We are hostages in one big culture tent entertained by people with more confidence than talent We are hostages in one big culture tent entertained by people with more confidence than talent I want to release a CD, I want them to put my photo in "Huisgenoot" I have no idea what entertainment means, but I want to send my video to "Geraas" And his first hit goes like this: We are hostages in one big culture tent entertained by people with more confidence than talent Every Joe Schmoe got a CD on the shelf We're choking on all the hits, no matter how ridiculous or how bad My dreams are unrealistic, I'm under the impression that my cup is overflowing But I know if I do covers of old songs, hordes of people will still buy it

    And his second hit goes like this: Every day a new release, no matter how tuneless or flat If your father's got the money, the sparks will fly The dam is getting fuller, our minds are getting empty The hordes of men and women who are raping music entertained by people with more confidence than talent We are hostages in one big culture tent entertained by people with more confidence than talent

    Enjoy!

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.

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,

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.

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.
