The New Generation

Radiohead

Boo

Check it out

Here comes the big man, fat man
He's going to huff and puff and blow you out
Sooner or later
You're going to kiss the ground you watch
Open up and let the good man in
Here comes the big man
And he's going to lick in your bones
Like the kids at the door
And the killer comes down the lair with 16 million greeting cards


Welcome to new generation (Hi!)
It’s a colour addiction (Soda!)
Welcome to new generation, yeah
It’s a colour addiction (Bubble!)

Eight men play God right next to your country
Steal our children
Ask myself
I'd like to teach the world
To sing a brand new harmony
Skin them up and spit them out
And burn them with the trees
I want to paint the world on coke
I think that I need your help (Blah!)

Welcome to new generation
It’s a colour addiction (Ah!)
Welcome to new generation, yeah
It’s a colour addiction (Ah!)

Smile for the cameras, boys and girls

Welcome to new generation
(Come to the new generation, boys and girls in Europe)
Know colour addiction
(The whole new Norway of opportunity)
Welcome to new generation
(Just step right up and buy your chickens)
Cool, colour addiction

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.

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.

Page
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.
