For who do you cut your hair?
This is for the one that I love
He no doubt was sent to me
From the above
And now she's got a beard that
Goes down to the ground
And every time she sees me
She spins me around

Oh yeah Dizzy Dog
Won't you spin me all around

For who do you cut your hair?
This is for the eyes that
Hold my ego
They tell the story that we already know
Of all the pain we've had
And all the joy to come
Will swim off togethers one day
In an ocean of rum

Oh yeah Dizzy Dog
Won't you spin me all around

Our fathers have spoken
Paper in the wind
I'll settle down
In these fears

For who do you cut your hair?
Oh Dizzy Dog
Won't you spin me around you

    The "Our fathers have spoken" part reminds me of arranged marriage

    I always thought it was ' this is for the arms that hold my ego' instead of ' This is for the eyes that, oh my god' forgive me if i am wrong. Love this song, listen to it every singular day

    I updated the lyrics, after listening to all the versions I could find.

    "This is for the woman" was definitely wrong. My best guess is "this is for the one that I love", but I'm not sure about that one. Then instead of "grows down to the ground" it's "goes".

    "This is for the eyes that, oh my god" is also wrong. "Eyes" is correct though, that's clear. The wrong part is "oh my god". It ends in an "oh" sound. "Hold my ego" could be correct, so I put that.

    "We'll swim off together one day". First of all she always sings "togethers" instead of "together". The first word is either "we'll" or "will". Both make sense. To me it sounds more like "will" so I changed it.

    "In an ocean of rum" is actually correct, she sings it very clearly one place!

    The Sierra part ("Our fathers have spoken / Paper in the wind") I have no idea about. Not sure how anybody got that. I'm assuming it's just wild guesswork. But I left it.

    I'm pretty sure the rest is correct, it's very clear.

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.

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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.

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
