This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Butterflies, three blind mice
Eight little maids in a box he met them
He kept them, he carefully puts them
Away for the rainy day, when
Nothing's left
No nothing's left to collect Whistling
And sometimes he'd look in his catalog
And it was like the whole wide
World bundled up and waved, and
He'd saved those waves, and he'd count
Them he'd count them, cos he loved
Counting things 3 french hens, 2
Turtles doves, a monkey in a big palm tree
A bunch of green bananas that
Are never ripe
An orangutan who says I love you
And you can pull a string
And it grins and it, it's
A happy little thing
But it doesn't say much
So it isn't much good company 15
934 plastic facsimilies of the Eiffel
Tower, twenty percent of which were broken
Because they were made in
Taiwan so they weren't built to last at all
And anyway the proportions
Were completely wrong
Because they don't have the Eiffel Tower in
Taiwan all they have is pagodas and he
Had many bagodas too he had
Twenty-eight bagodas
Which he shrunk with water and
Kept them all in a
Big trunk which he dug out from the sea
From a huge wreck of this old
Galleon, and he kept galleons too, many
Many galleons with skeletons and
Lots of treasure
And he collected them he collected
All the treasure in
All the world, and he owned all the banks
Eight little maids in a box he met them
He kept them, he carefully puts them
Away for the rainy day, when
Nothing's left
No nothing's left to collect Whistling
And sometimes he'd look in his catalog
And it was like the whole wide
World bundled up and waved, and
He'd saved those waves, and he'd count
Them he'd count them, cos he loved
Counting things 3 french hens, 2
Turtles doves, a monkey in a big palm tree
A bunch of green bananas that
Are never ripe
An orangutan who says I love you
And you can pull a string
And it grins and it, it's
A happy little thing
But it doesn't say much
So it isn't much good company 15

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

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
Another one that can only come from the Dots, both music & lyrics. Very funny and, at the same time, poetic description of an obsessive-compulsive collector/hoarder. I love the part with the Eiffel Towers :-)
