Just a normal day
Streets turn into graves
Traces have been removed
The search was disapproved
So cold the night
The weak ones lose the fight
Too many of them out there
No one seems to care
Lost and so alone
Born but never known
Left all on their own
Forgotten children
We'll never hear a name
They carry all the blame
Too young to break the chains
Forgotten children
[Chorus]
They see, they feel, believe
Just like we do
They're laughing, and crying
Wanna live here
Like me and you
Eyes without light
Too tired of good-byes
Never felt embraced
And frightened of every face
A life in disguise
Hope forever died
Lost and so alone
Born but never known
Left all on their own
Forgotten children
We'll never hear a name
They carry all the blame
Too young to break the chains
Forgotten children
[Chorus]
It shouldn't really be that way
It shouldn't really be that way
We see, we feel, believe
Just like you
We're laughing and crying
Wanna live here
We see, we feel, believe
Just like you
We're laughing and crying
Wanna live here
Just like you
Streets turn into graves
Traces have been removed
The search was disapproved
So cold the night
The weak ones lose the fight
Too many of them out there
No one seems to care
Lost and so alone
Born but never known
Left all on their own
Forgotten children
We'll never hear a name
They carry all the blame
Too young to break the chains
Forgotten children
[Chorus]
They see, they feel, believe
Just like we do
They're laughing, and crying
Wanna live here
Like me and you
Eyes without light
Too tired of good-byes
Never felt embraced
And frightened of every face
A life in disguise
Hope forever died
Lost and so alone
Born but never known
Left all on their own
Forgotten children
We'll never hear a name
They carry all the blame
Too young to break the chains
Forgotten children
[Chorus]
It shouldn't really be that way
It shouldn't really be that way
We see, we feel, believe
Just like you
We're laughing and crying
Wanna live here
We see, we feel, believe
Just like you
We're laughing and crying
Wanna live here
Just like you

Hayalperest
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
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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
This song... like Bill said in an interview, is about children who are forgotten by their family. They're either in orphanages or they are at home but living by themselves. Their parents don't care, and he sings that it shouldn't be like that, and that we kids have voices and feelings of our own and that we deserve to be listened to. I know what it's like to feel like that, my parents are... pfft. They are making my life misery. My dad cant even remember my name, and he named me.
wow dats bad(not da meaning, the "dad" part)
This song is kinda like a wake up call to the people who think life is easy when your a kid. sometimes life is worse when your a kid.
I think this is about developing world poverty/genoside/war, and how kids are especially the vicims because they are the weak ones. "The search was disapproved" reminds me of an archaeologist wanting permission to excavate a site but not being allowed. Their voices can never be heard because they died to tragicallly and we are never given permission tofind out what happenned and tell their stories to the world.
i wish this song was about what aligater said, but i doubt tokio hotel would write about poverty, genocide or war.
I wouldn't rule it out for the future. It's just that they're still young so all their songs at the moment are about identity and adolescent life. But once they've sorted all that out I can see them continuing to become more active in world issues.
I tink Tokio Hotel would write about it all I just think they need to be inspired to. Oh wow that didn't sound god but meh. loove this song
No this has the easiest menaing about children who are forgotten in this world.
well sure if u wanna make it sound boreing then yea,seriously...
I once thought that it was about how hard teenage life is in this generation... at the start they say "They see, They feel, believe just like we do" but near the end, they say that but changing They to We, and children does not only state people from 0 to 12 years old, also to a group to sons and daughters, so it could be that they are talking about that and how teens when their parents don't understand them feel forgotten, abandoned, etc.
