This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Good god almighty! The phantom body
He’s gone and done it again, you know he’s at it again
And it’s the last thing you should ever do
But if you look at the abyss, it will look right back at you
Give you a sense of being stared at
Calm down, Jonestown
So help me god I’ll drink it down
“We’ll be watching you so watch your mouth”
Hold me, armless
Because we’re ready to make you one of us
We’ll be watching you so watch your mouth
You better watch your mouth
The kids will grow up to be assholes
The kids will grow up to leave you with your house with your plants
The kids will grow up to be assholes
The kids will grow up to leave you in your house where you lay
Remember how we used to laugh all the time?
I’m fairly sure it was never at the same time
I am a ghost that haunts your hometown
I’m around I’m the sounds you swear you swore that…
Calm down, Jonestown
So help me god I’ll drink it down
“We’ll be watching you so watch your mouth”
Hold me, armless
We’re ready to make you one of us
The song won’t sing itself so just sing out
You don’t want your messes cleaned
You don’t want your bodies fixed
You don’t want your problems solved, stories all resolved
You have nothing to lean on
You don’t want your stitches sewn
‘Cause then you’ll have the big unknown
And we’ll be watching you so watch your mouth…
You better watch your mouth
He’s gone and done it again, you know he’s at it again
And it’s the last thing you should ever do
But if you look at the abyss, it will look right back at you
Give you a sense of being stared at
Calm down, Jonestown
So help me god I’ll drink it down
“We’ll be watching you so watch your mouth”
Hold me, armless
Because we’re ready to make you one of us
We’ll be watching you so watch your mouth
You better watch your mouth
The kids will grow up to be assholes
The kids will grow up to leave you with your house with your plants
The kids will grow up to be assholes
The kids will grow up to leave you in your house where you lay
Remember how we used to laugh all the time?
I’m fairly sure it was never at the same time
I am a ghost that haunts your hometown
I’m around I’m the sounds you swear you swore that…
Calm down, Jonestown
So help me god I’ll drink it down
“We’ll be watching you so watch your mouth”
Hold me, armless
We’re ready to make you one of us
The song won’t sing itself so just sing out
You don’t want your messes cleaned
You don’t want your bodies fixed
You don’t want your problems solved, stories all resolved
You have nothing to lean on
You don’t want your stitches sewn
‘Cause then you’ll have the big unknown
And we’ll be watching you so watch your mouth…
You better watch your mouth

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.
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
There is an irony in the music here: the hip-hop inflections of the song might be a commentary on today's generation of kids, who listen to rap but don't really come from the streets.
Ghosts basically narrate all the songs on "Now You Are One of Us," so this particular spirit is just laying it for some parents. Their kids are selfish brats; the parents' ailments and tales of woe are all they have left in this life. It's a sad existence.
Yet the pAper chAse, as always, isn't meant to me taken literally. Some people complain about the younger generation or their own illnesses as a way to get attention or make themselves feel important. The ghost of "The Kids..." is both satirical commentary on the younger generation and an indictment of parents who won't take responsibility for their own failings.
Ghosts have all the power on this conceptual album. So when Congelton sings "We'll be watching you so watch your mouth," he might mean that people who complain--whether about wayward kids or physical ills--should watch what they are saying. Things could be worse, after all. You could be dead, right?
