Still know exactly where togo
Still know exactly what's home
Don't dance like monkey
clap no hands clap no feet
to stagnant beats
Still know exactly where to go
Still trying to break tha metronome
Sometimes i here the beat so loud
I can hardly think without
Metronome
To keep the mind in time
Metronome
To keep kid in line
only thing we should
be trying is to find
a way to break away

So another one fell to the
great prozac nation
A couple little pills
kiss goodbye to feeling ill and aggression.
redundant phrases said and said
by a bunch of smiling heads
in the land of the undead
I got a question about these actions
Planning for the future
Crunching numbers on computers
let me ask you.
A healthy life the
triggered laughing
if everyones unhappy
Whys the metronome still clapping

Still know exactly where to go
Still know exactly what is home
Don't dance like monkey
clap no hands, clap no feet
to stagnant beat
Still know exactly where to go
Still trying to break the metronome
Sometimes I hear the beat so loud
I can hardly think without
Metronome
To keep mind in time
Metronome
to keep the kid in line
only thing we should
be trying is to find a way to break away

So another one dead
what a great misfortune
Blew off his fucking head
must've ran out of the meds
prescribed him
Drugs and TV alibis parents wonder why
as they shake their heads in time
I got a question, about these actions
Planning for the future.
Crunching numbers on computers.
Let me ask ya.
A healthy life with triggered laughing
if everyones unhappy
Whys the metronome still clapping?

Still know exactly where to go
Still know exactly what is home
Dont dance like monkey
clap no hands, clap no feet
to stagnant beats
Still know exactly where to go
Still trying to break the metronome
Sometimes I feel the beat so loud
I can hardly think without

Metronome x7

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 Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
