To the garden lack of the pulse of insects' colour
paved with voices, a dreaming girl selling her little body
it starts
Caged girl in the cage,caged girl in the cage,when to be freed?
Caged girl in the cage,caged girl in the cage,the wiggling cruel evil is the devils' feast
a dreaming girl dreaming in her empty dream
Kategorize
Who is this that stands behind the dreaming little?
it starts
Even if I kill my voice,hide in the dark,tonight who's back am I going to..
Tomorrow the night also comes to the place of prison,look at the devils hide in the brilliant colours...
Caged girl in the cage,caged girl in the cage,when to be freed?
Caged girl in the cage,caged girl in the cage,the wiggling cruel evil is the devils' feast

    Maybe Kyo was inspired from the children's game Kagome Kagome? A child has to be the oni and guess who is behind them while they're covering their eyes.

    Kagome Kagome Kago no naka no Tori wa Itsu Itsu deyaru? Yoake no ban ni Tsuru to Kame ga subetta. Ushiro no shoumen dare ?

    Translation: Kagome, Kagome, the bird in the cage, when will you come out? In the evening of the dawn, the crane and turtle slipped. Who stands right behind you now?

    Shokubeni = red food coloring

    What the title has to do with the song, I haven't the slightest >_>

    By the way, this isnt the official trans, is it? I remember it being different... =S

    Kategorize. It's a garden with no pulse. People's voices all bunched up. A small girl, a dreamer who sells her body.

    It starts.

    A girl inside the box. Inside the box. When will she come out? A girl inside the box. Inside the box. It's the demon's feast.

    A dream is a dream, inside the delicate dream the little girls dreams of. Kategorize Who's back is it? The back of a small figure that dreams?

    It starts

    Even if they kill the voice or hide in the dark, who's back is it going to be tonight? Tomorrow, again the night will lead to hell, where the bright demons hide... A girl inside the box. Inside the box. When will she come out? A girl inside the box. Inside the box. It's the demon's feast.

    this is the real meaning not the one that is listed.

    Wow I feel lame. I JUST realized there's two versions of this song. I've always heard the live version with the extended openning.

    Now I don't know which I like best.

    "What the title has to do with the song, I haven't the slightest"

    Red food coloring = most likely a metaphor for blood.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
