Now won't you run and tell your boyfriend
Tell him don't hold his breath for me
I got some money I was saving
Got some hearts that I'll be breaking
Know someday they'll make a martyr out of me
I know someday they'll make a martyr out of me

She's so fine

And I like sometimes to wave it high
Up where everyone can see

I'm a lady
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up

I know I spend magic reel it out
Try to hold a light to me

I'm a lady
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up

I like to watch the way the wind blows
What does it know that I don't yet?
Ooh, oh, look so pretty now
You're just so sweet
Let's see how far you can get
See just how far you can get

She's so fine

And I like sometimes to wave it high
Up where everyone can see

I'm a lady
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up

I know I spend magic reel it out
Try to hold a light to me

I'm a lady
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up

And the dream's all gone
And the dream's all gone
No one said no, no one said
Make something with
what's in your head
And the dream's all gone
And the dream's all gone

And I like sometimes to wave it high
Up where everyone can see

I'm a lady
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up

I know I spend magic reel it out
Try to hold a light to me

I'm a lady
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up

And I like sometimes to wave it high
Up where everyone can see

I'm a lady
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up

I know I spend magic reel it out
Try to hold a light to me

I'm a lady
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up

(Got my mind made up, Got my mind made up)
(Got my mind made up
(Got my mind made up, Got my mind made up)

(Got my mind made up, Got my mind made up)
(Got my mind made up)
(Got my mind made up, Got my mind made up)

And I like sometimes to wave it high
Up where everyone can see

I'm a lady

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

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.
