His Blood, My Hands

Throw The Fight

The stars are shining as I drive myself to your front door
Can't get there fast enough I hit the gas and wipe my eyes
I hold the letter in my hand that you had sent to me
I read the words that say "I'm moving on you smothered me"

I want my payback
I want his blood on my hands
Never forgot that you left with my heart

My tires leave the road
cs I race just to know you're lying next to him

cs the crimson falls I turn and walk away
I walk away
I walk away
cs his shadow calls I turn to you and say
Just walk away
Just walk away

I hit the brakes and pull up to the house that's when I see
His car is parked outside I grab my knife and grab my keys
I walk into the door and climb the stairs
I want to scream
But I stand silently watching as you're fucking him

I want my payback
I want his blood on my hands
Never forgot that you left with my heart
I lost all control drive the knife at his throat
Watch him as he slips away

cs the crimson falls I turn and walk away
I walk away
I walk away
cs his shadow calls I turn to you and say
Just walk away
Just walk away

I am feeling like I've lost control
I am feeling like I'm on my own

I drag you to the car
Kicking and screaming his name
I wipe the blood off your lips
Wipe it all away

I barely see the signs I brake too late
My world comes crashing, crashing down

cs the crimson falls I turn and walk away
I walk away
I walk away
cs his shadow calls I turn to you and say
Just walk away
Just walk away

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
