I know the reasons you shy
Away from things you can't explain
But if you make it alive
I cannot, can never finally say
You should have taken that road
You should have gone the other way
So tell me are you finding that road hard to take?

If you are the choices, all that I've given up
And the one to make it all real
If you are the voice that takes me to heaven
Why can't I feel
Anything more than all of this nothing
Anything less than all of this pain
If you are the one to make me feel something
Why am I afraid?

You said, "I'll take it in stride"
You said, "I'll take it sight unseen"
But, now you do realize
That you cannot, can never ever leave
But they will believe it in time
They will exist to hear you say
It's mine, I made it alive
And I will stay...

If you are the choices, all that I've given up
And the one to make it all real
If you are the voice that takes me to heaven
Why can't I feel
Anything more than all of this nothing
Anything less than all of this pain
If you are the one to make me feel something
Why am I afraid?

Oh I have given everything I have
Oh I have given everything I have...

I am the voice you can't hide
I am the life you still try to live
I'll never leave you alone with your pride
'Cause I am awake alive on the inside...

If you are the choices, all that I've given up
And the one to make it all real
If you are the voice that takes me to heaven
Why can't I feel
Anything more than all of this nothing
Anything less than all of this pain
If you are the one to make me feel something
Why am I afraid?

    I think this one has a lot of emotion! It seems like someone who deals with a lot (maybe depression?) and he falls in love with someone who finally starts to feel great things, but he's terrified. If I'm in the right mood this song can actually make me cry. ;P

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.
