So you say we have no future?
As father and daughter;
I wish you could see me in your skin,
And the hole you left within

But you never stop to see what you begun
Oh lord, look what you've done
The consequences of your slick Italian style
Rumbling beneath the humdrum (?)

And all the seas here will carry a breeze of
A scent I do not know;
The breath of my father
My sister of another
Bathing the wounds

So you say we have no future?
What with no past either?
But you were never stuck for your excuses;
Just say you remember,
Don't let it slip from your mind.
The girl is on her own...

Would you say my name the way it's meant to be said?
Let it fall from your mouth...?
To see a flicker in my father's eyes,
To feel his breath upon my brow

And all the seas here will carry a breeze of
A scent I do not know;
The breath of my father,
My sister of another,
Bathing the wounds

Julia, you're here in my fingers.
You seem to flip between my skies;
Sharing the dream of, of a life I will never know.
I will never know...

And all the seas here will carry a breeze of
A scent I do not know;
The breath of my father,
My sister of another,
Bathing the wounds

Would you say my name the way it's meant to be said?
Let it fall from your mouth,
Let it fall from your hands,
Let it slip from your hips,
Let it slip from your skin,
Let it slip from your mind.
I am knee deep in your blood and you are knee deep in mine...
Say my name the way it's meant to be said.
Let it fall from your mouth,
I am knee deep in your blood and you are knee deep in mine...

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,

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.
