wake me up and waking up at 3
just in time to make a coffee and watch countdown on tv
and everyday it feels the same
i think you're the one to blame
cause yet again you didn't call me

and if only i was waking up at 9,
moving on with things and laughing
pretending that I'm fine
but in truth i've barely made it out've bed
cos you never text me back and it messes with my head

and i wont stand for that,
(really make it hard for me)
and i won't stand for that
(when it really shouldn't be)
no i won't stand for that
cos its not rocket science its you and me.

and yet again I'm waking up at 4,
but I'm telling you that I've been up for 7 hours
maybe more,
but soon enough i know you'll see whats going on,
cos you're not stupid, you're definitely not stupid

and i wont stand for that,
(when you make it hard for me)
and i won't stand for that
(when it really shouldn't be)
no i won't stand for that
cos its not rocket science, its you and me.

but i'm no good at these things
and i'm no good at these things
and i'm no good at these things
and i'm no good at these things
and im no good at these things

i wont stand for that,
cause you make it hard for me
too knocked up to work out
at least it really shouldn't be
i won't stand for that
cos its not rocket science
its you and me.

    Instead of "wake me up and waking up at 3" I think it's "And lately i've been waking up at 3" i love this song! :)

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.

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.
