Walk into flames that you start with yourselves
And get help while you can to pull meat from bones
Burn down your home
Create a diversion to buy yourself time
To give thanks to the ones who are all alone
You're all alone
These hives
They break into your skin like a thief
They rob you of life while you sleep
So you cut and you cut til there's nothing left

This paper posed as photographs
This promise snapped with time elapsed
You think you do
But you don't know me at all

If you don't believe in God, you will now
I've got hooks and a chain that will fit you well
So save your air
I've locked your personal things in a box
And if you try to scream I won't ever tell
I won't ever tell
These hives
They break into your skin like a

This paper posed as photographs
This promise snapped with time elapsed
You think you do
But you don't know me at all
Last chance to find what we believe
I hope you save those you've deceived
You think you do
But you don't know me at all

You can't hold your breath forever

This paper posed as photographs
This promise snapped with time elapsed
You think you do
But you don't know me at all
Last chance to find what we believe
I hope you save those you've deceived
You think you do
(You can't hold your breath forever)
But you don't know me at all

This paper posed as photographs
This promise snapped with time elapsed
You think you do
But you don't know me at all
Last chance to find what we believe
(If you don't believe)
I hope you save those you've deceived
(Trust me, you will)
You think you do
(If you don't believe)
But you don't know me at all
(Trust me, you will)
Know me at all

If you don't believe
Trust me, you will

    Some minor corrections... I think... This is just what I'm hearing. And holy crap, I was so young and innocent when I made that last comment; time flies...

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
