Well the witches stare with their limbs akimbo
Silhouettes of statues up in the window
Call me to come here with a crooked crescendo
But I don't

Devotees dance among the pantomime on the promenade
Into a tabernacle on the lawn
But I don't follow

Because she's mine, she's mine, she's mine, all mine
Yeah she's mine, mine, mine, mm

Midnight moved across the people's park
And I fled the fire like a spinning spark
Up onto a porch in the dark
She was waiting right there for me

She knows that my hands are empty
As I go past the mothers of envy
And I don't have to fumble in the dark for my keys

I believe she's mine, she's mine, she's mine, all mine
Yeah she's mine, mine, mine, mm

The pupils gather in the yard
Around the pulpit made of cards
And waited for their leader's words
But his words didn't make much sense

His mouth spat out a fist of daggers
And his tongue swirled in a southern swagger
And I looked at all the people gathered
But they were all in a trance

And she's mine, she's mine, she's mine, all mine
Yeah she's mine, mine, mine, mm

I was thrown before the court of canes
Tossed my soul to the furnace flames
Where all my heros had been slain, exiled, or put in prison

Because they rose above the mess
And because their power posed a threat
And because they spoke of something else
When everybody else didn't

The music fills the space between
The deities and the prophecies
Of our bodies pressed seamlessly
Silent in the shade

She looks at me so fearlessly
And I take it all too seriously
But it all becomes so clear to me
And makes me understand

That she's mine, she's mine, she's mine, all mine
Yeah she's mine, mine, mine, mm

Yeah she's mine, all mine, all mine, all mine
Yeah she's mine, mine, mine, mm

Yeah she's mine, mine, mine, mm
Yeah she's mine

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
