Loaded forecast on you
the pants are tight
you are ready to use
searching for some trouble
who’s gonna be the one
and try to feed your hunger
empty eyes
leading your own sorrow
none to get on
none to roll over this night honey
the lavatory is open
as you blocked his head away
twenty-one is such a good number
conversation lost its weight anyway
we are walking on a thin line
no you better stay away from this
and shut your mug
and read my lips
we are just kids

do you talk to me
pull the string
so I can be a doll
you won’t cover me up
cause I’m the girl who kisses the dawn
kiss the dawn
kiss the dawn

rebel mad and broken
why do you throw your days away
twenty-one was not a good number
conversation lost its hate anyway
you are walking on a thin line
and you better avoid the risk
so shut your mug
and read my lips
we are just kids

do you talk to me
pull the string
so I can be your doll
you won’t cover me up
cause I’m the girl who kisses the dawn
don’t you talk to me
pull the string
don’t want to be your doll
you won’t cover me up
because I’m the girl who eats the scrub

    IMO lyrics of GA songs doesnt have straight meaning at the first sight so i interpreted it in my own way a long time ago and now even if i'd be sure that the main message is so remote i wont change my mind xD

    So, this song is for me about a girl who is in some kind sexually used by the man that she totally loves and he of course doesnt love her back and somehow he decided to take advantage of her love while they are somewhere alone and he became so focused on her body and his desire and he don't get any attention to her deep love. They are some kind of friends they know each other since they've been kids, they're talking but he doesnt even try to listen and he's doing everything to seduce her but in that very special way which would make him innocent in the morning(hard 4 me to ilustrate it). But she knows him a lot and she know about every his step just like women have, she feels it and he thinks that he's got control but he's not. His human nature made him do this. And then, after all, the next day(week, month) comes they both know that it wasn't good idea so he's back into his life, it was some kind of one night stand for him, while she must get the responsibility for that night, she feels like a bitch, she feel used, she so f**** hates him, but after all she loves him so much more cause she got that feeling of his body every night she sleeps alone. But somehow she's so strong and she try to tell herself that she won't let him do stuff like, she's so sure about her strenght and hate and the feeling of being used. Until the next time...

    OMG, I know I'm so retarted but it's exactly the way I see it!

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Amazing
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.
