I see now little girl a cryin she was looking so sad
I wonder why but then I realize the pain that she had
Deep on the inside something you can't understand
I gotta take her back and now she's holdin my hand
I'm like a man with just one dollar gotta give it away
Unless I'm all upon the mic I ain't got nothing to say
I'm just a young man tryin to make one more day
To all them bad boyz no they don't mess with me
Cause we used to have a drummer
The boy he was a bummer
We gonna take a drum machine on tour with us this summer
People come along and they get smacked back
And then the 0070

When I look into your eyes I realize love passes by
Now I know it's time to walk away
They killin' me deep inside

I said the people upon the world they have to see
That all this fussin and fightin no it's not for me
Yes I'm just a man upon the microphone stand
Who hopes to give you some good lovin through the night
But if you got a problem then me don't understand
The only reason that you're comin around and clamin the man
To be the one who - who's tearin your heart up in two
And then come rockin upon the microphone while givin it to you

When I look into your eyes I realize love passes by
Now I know it's time to walk away

You're sittin back on the couch tryin to ease the pain
Cause it feels like the world is sittin up on your brain
Insanity is creepin it comin up on you
You don't know what to do because nobody can help you
You got the feelin that nobody can hear you
See you or feel you or even get near you
The invisible man he does the best that he can
To survive in world where nobody understands
And then I'm sick of all the pressure and insanity
That seems to come without warning
It's always after me
I'm trying to live my life and do what Is right
But if you test me boy
Blow you up like dynamite

They killin me deep inside

    this song is the greatest to kick back and chill out while on a road trip or just chillin at the beach...great bass too during the third verse.. What i think this song means is just to chill out and not let stupid thoughts weigh you down, go to their concerts and enjoy what they have to offer

    What does he say right after 'And then the 0070...'? Sounds like '....poonani-ni ride.' Whatever he says it's missing from the lyrics.

    This kid on YouTube has the first phrase of the japanese girl singing:

    "Shima uta yo kaze ni nori todokete okure watashi no namida"

    (Island song, ride the wind, carry my tears with you.)

    "They" Killin me deep inside...? They=crazy society?

    "....and then we double-o-seven-a-pooni-ni-ni ride"......haha double o seven until we get it right? double o seven

    he's talkin about how people(wanna be drummers?) come along and then they get smacked back... and then 007 (pull a james bond and disappear?) out into the night??

    done analyzing for tonight good luck.

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.

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.

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.
