Pretty girl, pretty, pretty girl
Cease to Exist
Just come and say you love me
Give up your world

C'mon you can see
I'm your kind, I'm your kind
You can see
Walk on, walk on

I love you pretty girl
My life is yours and
You can have my world
Never had a lesson

I ever learned
But I know we all get our turn
I love you
Submission is a gift

Go on, give it to your brother
Love and understanding is for one another
I'm your kind, I'm your kind
I'm your mind

I'm your brother
I never had a lesson I ever learned
But I know we all get our turn
And I love you

Never learned not to love you
I never learned

    well, to be really acurate, he never killed anyone, he just brainwashed those hippie chicks into going out and butching people.

    Lesson Learned. Hippies are inherntly evil.

    I agree he's a smart man. Ofcourse what he did was not right. Listen to some of his speeches and think about what he's saying. It's basically that we're all just killing ourselves and we are all just hypocrits. He knows more than you people who judge him.

    Nikkie, I respect the fact that you spoke your mind on such a topic, but I am thrown off by the fact that it seems you have never even heard Charlie speek. He was not a very educated man, he went to prison at the age of 12 and never went back to school, he got out at around twenty. But still, for a man with little to no education he was still quite the bright bulb. If you come back to read this then I would suggest looking up some of his quotes and speeches. He has many grammar mistakes but when you listen to what he is saying, it is on the verge of genius. And it's about simple things like government, love, etc. Things that you tend to know more about the less you are "educated" or as i like to call BRAINWASHED! and for someone to say that Charlie brainwashed those "hippies" i think is wrong. He never brainwashed them. he taught and convinced them. The young men and women that he took in had no homes, they wern't victims of Charlie they were victims of big brother (The Man) all charlie did was accept them, take them up and taught them that as long as you do something out of love for your brothers r sisters then it is not wrong, that there is no wrong in love. Whether he be right or wrong, thats all he did. And as far as him being responsible for the deaths, maybe those specific deaths, but the kind of people he took up would have ended up killing people for money anyway. All Charlie did was throw a little love and brotherhood into it.

    and to you Dressed2Depress, you are right. Almost everyone of America's presidents was a college graduate from a major college and look at how much they can fuck up through their own hidden agenda. It's sad how people confuse evil for stupidity, i blame Christian propaganda and public schools. Hell, why do you think they have the common term "Evil Genius"?

    Anyone who didnt know he writes songs knows nothing about him. Charles Manson is my inspiration. He has so many beliefs and stands by them... And he never really killed anyone. All humans do deserve to die.

    All of you have very interesting things to say. I see that a few of you compared Manson to Hitler. I think that's a pretty good comparison, but not in the way it's been mentioned so far.

    I think that Manson's music is much like Hitler's artwork. They both were extremely talented artists before they were criminal geniuses. Hitler painted some of the best paintings I've ever seen, but have you ever seen one of his paintings featured in an art museum? Hitler is not known for his art, but for the horrendous crimes he committed. I think that it's the same with Charles Manson.

    Manson was an artist before he was a killer, and he was a talented one. I can appreciate his music as long as I don't associate it with what he did after his musical career. I'm not going to go and buy a Charles Manson CD from e-bay, but if I come across a Charles Manson song, I'll listen to it, and I'll probably enjoy it.

    And to those of you who are arguing that Charles Manson was not a murderer: you're arguments are pretty futile. He may not have physically murdered anyone, but he is still responsible. He instructed The Family on who to kill, and how to do it. He took advantage of the fact that they all had extremely malleable minds. He used The Family's bodies' as his own to murder, and thus the blood is on his hands.

    So I guess my point is that, although Charles Manson is responsible for some of the most horrible and widely publicized murders of the century, he was a musician before he was a killer. I will continue to listen to his songs as if they are those of an artist, not what he is today.

    " i never learned not to love you" I believe, that it means, that people who are educated. Can sometimes, lose the ability to love, people that are less educated, than they are. But well, as Charlie was a very hard character to understand, I might be wrong.

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.
Album art
Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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.
Album art
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Album art
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.
