Eyes Sewn Shut

Suicide Silence

Sewing the eyes shut of the man who saw god
And ceasing the lies that spill from his jaw

Sewing the eyes shut of the man who saw god
And ceasing the lies that spill from his jaw

He won't be able to hear
Where the screams are coming from
He won't be able to hear
Where the screams are coming from

Sewing the eyes shut of the man who saw god
And ceasing the lies that spill from his jaw

It's just an endless abyss of pain and torment
And he will wonder where the screams are coming from
And how does he know
Their cries
Their cries

Because it's your fucking flock
Heading to the butcher
Because it's your fucking flock
Heading to the butcher

As the tears began to burn like acid
As they spill from his eyes
As they spill from his eyes

Sewing the eyes shut of the man who saw god
And ceasing the lies that spill from his jaw
And as I torture and kill
The ones who followed him
In his lies
In his lies
In his lies
Followed him in his lies

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
