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.
I did myself damage, I know I did it by myself yeah
Filled myself with rubbish, I know I did it, I did it
I did all this and more and wondered who to blame
But I can't pretend anymore, I did the damaging
This bad position that I'm in, I'm twisted and I'm bent and I'm 360
Created so much regret
I don't know baby, but it's all gone funny, it's all gone honey
No regrets
I've been asleep and now I'm wide awake
No regrets
I don't apologize for what I did or anything I've ever said
Bang baby hit the core
Yeah maybe they don't know
Damn baby instant glow
Do what you will and go
Bang baby now I'm dead
Lip bullet in my head
Damn baby don't you care
That I'm puking with my friend
Over here you son of a bitch
I'd like a word in your ear
Let me make it clear
How little I want to hear
That you think I should be repentful
I'm resentful of the implication
My station in life has always been my own creation
Never regret the things I did to get me what I got
Got everything I'll ever need but easy it was not
But she's my reason for being alive
And well not dwelling in hell
Where I fell and well what brought me here it is the story I tell
I lick my cuts when I bleed 'till it coagulates
Rejecting the pain till it leaves, it emigrates
Back on my feet again falling into the groove
Making up for lost time
Picking up missed moves
All I'm going to do is keep doing what I do
All you need to know is that I still think you're a fool
Never be taking the lane ya givin' me, breaking me down like that
Just bring it on, be bringing the pain
And I will just kick back
No regrets
I've been asleep and now I'm wide awake
No regrets
I don't apologize for what I did (do you hear what I...)
Bang baby hit the core
Yeah maybe they don't know
Damn baby instant glow
Do what you will and go
Bang baby now I'm dead
Lip bullet in my head
Damn baby don't you care
That I'm puking all over you
So fucking sorry
(Comin' around again!)
Bang baby yeah yeah
Damn baby yeah yeah
Bang baby yeah yeah
Damn baby yeah yeah
No regrets

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
No Surprises
Radiohead
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
this songs rocks... Ken Lloyd knows how to scream.
