Taking Abalonia

Said The Whale

Sad songs and lullabies
Are singing the world goodnight
Sleep tight, little world

Sirens on Christmas Day
Bad luck is here to stay
I'm watching the world go by

I'm counting out the seconds
Between thunder and lightning
The rain is nature's copper wire
It's wrapped around my feet
And I'm standing, in a field
The widest open field

Pack my bags and I am on my way
One last look at how things used to be
I'll burn a fire that you can see
You'll swim ashore and rescue me
We'll build a ship and sail to sea
And start our very own country

I'm taking Abalonia!
I'm taking Abalonia!
I'm taking Abalonia!
I'm taking Abalonia!

I'm taking Abalonia!
I'm taking Abalonia!
I'm taking Abalonia!
I'm taking Abalonia!

I'm taking Abalonia!
I'm taking Abalonia!
I'm taking Abalonia!
I'm taking Abalonia!

I'm taking Abalonia!
I'm taking Abalonia!
I'm taking Abalonia!
I'm taking Abalonia!

I'm taking Abalonia!
I'm taking Abalonia!
I'm taking Abalonia!
I'm taking Abalonia!

I'm taking Abalonia!
I'm taking Abalonia!
I'm taking Abalonia!
I'm taking Abalonia!

I'm taking Abalonia!
I'm taking Abalonia!
I'm taking Abalonia!
I'm taking Abalonia!

I'm taking Abalonia!
I'm taking Abalonia!
I'm taking Abalonia!
I'm taking Abalonia!

    "Swim a shore and rescue me Build a ship and sail a sea Start our very own country"

    Abalonia was a WWII ship that was purchased in the 60s by a group of people who aimed to wreck the ship off the west coast by San Diego in hopes of founding their own country. Unfortunatly, strong waves moved the ship unexpectedly, and it sank to the bottom.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.
