She's late. They both walk through the door.
They pray like never bofore.
He waits like he should have in the first place.
Now a choice must be made.

All they are is resting on right now.
The options...
There's a lot to lose tonight.
Please be cautious, it's a life inside.

They pay she wears a paper robe.
She stays in a room alone.
She waits just thinking of the choice she's made.
But she hesitates.

All they are is resting on right now.
The options...
There's a lot to lose tonight.
Please be cautious it's a life inside.
Oh, the options...
There's a lot to lose tonight.
Please be cautious, it's a life inside.

This could be the rest of your life.
Can't you feel it inside?
Giving life and getting pride.
Doesn't that suit you?
Just remember you were there.
Your mother made her choice.
You get life and she gets by.
Doesn't that suit you?

Oh, the options...
There's a lot to lose tonight.
Please be cautious, it's a life inside.

They leave.
He looks at her and smiles.
They're ready for this life.

    obviously a pro-life song. I loved this song, I actually downloaded it off of myspace way back when (I think...either that or iTunes). Anyways, it wasn't until a couple months after listening to it that I was working out at the gym and started listening to the lyrics. I was happy to hear a young group of guys signing a song with a pro-life message. Good for them!

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.

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.
