This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Be honest with me
Did you ever think
That these things that you did
Would come back to haunt you
And fail you again
Don't ever question
My will to admit
That when we're alone
It's too hard to resist
Making believe
That we're bigger than this
For choosing a road
That is different but similar
To the same one I took before
Why don't we breathe
Why can't you see
That things aren't always
What they appear to be
And as simple as it sounds
I think I've found
The perfect way to grow old
The simpleness describes
The iron that is you
And your rusty old life
Get on with the mattress
And tell-tale lies
Watch everything
That you touch turns to ice
Following the sheep
And they're at it again
Making believe
That there're free as it seems
But only finding out that
They're on a sinking ship
That doesn't care
How many it saves today
Why don't we breathe
Why can't you see
That things aren't always
What they appear to be
And as simple as it sounds
I think I've found
The perfect way to grow old
Watch out now
I see the light
At the end of the tunnel
It seems realistic
That getting there will make us fine
But watch out now
It's full of glass
Don't take the chance
You'll surely pass
At least some day
We'll know the reason
Why
Why don't we breathe
Why can't you see
That things aren't always
What they appear to be
And as simple as it sounds
I think I've found
The perfect way to grow old
The perfect way
The perfect way
Did you ever think
That these things that you did
Would come back to haunt you
And fail you again
Don't ever question
My will to admit
That when we're alone
It's too hard to resist
Making believe
That we're bigger than this
For choosing a road
That is different but similar
To the same one I took before
Why don't we breathe
Why can't you see
That things aren't always
What they appear to be
And as simple as it sounds
I think I've found
The perfect way to grow old
The simpleness describes
The iron that is you
And your rusty old life
Get on with the mattress
And tell-tale lies
Watch everything
That you touch turns to ice
Following the sheep
And they're at it again
Making believe
That there're free as it seems
But only finding out that
They're on a sinking ship
That doesn't care
How many it saves today
Why don't we breathe
Why can't you see
That things aren't always
What they appear to be
And as simple as it sounds
I think I've found
The perfect way to grow old
Watch out now
I see the light
At the end of the tunnel
It seems realistic
That getting there will make us fine
But watch out now
It's full of glass
Don't take the chance
You'll surely pass
At least some day
We'll know the reason
Why
Why don't we breathe
Why can't you see
That things aren't always
What they appear to be
And as simple as it sounds
I think I've found
The perfect way to grow old
The perfect way
The perfect way

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
this song is amazing! i love it! i think it has to do with a guy who likes a girl and she likes him back but people are telling her differently and it makes her feel like it's wrong for wanting to be with him...so he is saying that Why don't we breathe Why cant you see That things aren't always What they appear to be And as simple as it sounds I think i've found The perfect way To grow old
and the why don't we breathe part is saying that you should go on and LIVE don't hold your breathe hoping that your feelings go away..do what you want and not what others tell you to do...
