Sunsets Are for Muggings

Leathermouth

This is for the kids who ain't got no soul
Never think twice
Got nowhere to go
This is for the pills that never fucking work
But it’s hard to see blood on a black t-shirt

They'll never understand
Because they were understood
An ‘open minded’ fake
In a bright white coat
Tell me what you wanna know
About my bleeding fucking heart
I'll pass all your tests
Because I’ve learned to lie from the best

Life is a fight, life is a fight
Life is a fight, life is a fight, fight, fight

They never really listen
Because they never fucking cared
The way I feel inside
They could never fucking hear
All they wanna know about is your insurance card
This pain I’ve kept inside
Just made me fucking strong

Life is a fight, life is a fight
Life is a fight, life is a fight, fight, fight

This is for the kids who ain't got no soul
Never think twice
Got nowhere to go
This is for the pills that never fucking work
But it’s hard to see blood on a black t-shirt

Life is a fight, life is a fight
Life is a fight, life is a fight, fight, fight

I never found a place I felt I fit
I never met someone who gave a shit
But I believe in what we fucking got
And now we got our chance to set it off

I never found a place I felt I fit
I never met someone who gave a shit
Let’s take a stand against felling lost
This is our chance to set it off

I never found a place I felt I fit
I never met someone who gave a shit
But I believe in what we fucking got
And now we got our chance to set it off

You'll never take me alive
‘Cause we're already dead
You'll never take me alive
‘Cause we're already dead
You’ll never take me alive
‘Cause we’re already dead
You’ll never take me alive
‘Cause we’re already dead inside

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.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
