Ha!
The hours approaching to give it your best,
you've got to reach your prime,
that's when you need to put yourself to the test,
and show us a passage of time,

we're gonna need a montage! (Montage!)
ooh it takes a montage! (Montage!)

Show lots of things happenin' at once,
remind everyone of whats going on, (Whats going on!)
And with every shot, show a little improvement,
to show it all would take too long

That's called a montage! (Montage!)
Do it with a montage! (Montage!)

In anything you want to go,
from just a beginner to a pro,
you need a montage! (Montage!)
Even Rocky had a montage! (Montage!)

(Montage!)
(Montage!)

In anything you want to go,
from just a beginner to a pro,
you need a montage! (Montage!)
ooh it takes a montage! (Montage!)

Always fade out in a montage...
If you fade out it seems like more time has passed in a montage...
montage...

    i think this song shows a significant amount of..significance in the movie team america:world police. it has a very strong meaning in the second verse, and by the end most people shed tears. It is meaningful in many aspectes, especially in the outro. Trey parker has done a wonderful job of portraying gary's transformation into a man. in short..

    ..THIS SONG IS SWEET

    Montage was first featured in the South Park episode Asspen (a sports-training montage), which sends up b-grade skiing movies. The song explains the movie-maker's device of "montage", making fun of it at the same time as they are using it. Karate Kid, No Retreat No Surrender and even Rocky had a montage

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.
