Seven months in the making, making only organized crime
We'll be masterminds if our dreams will reach the shore
Another turning point in time tonight when the lights go out
Shotgun Freedom is what the say I'm about
What I'm about won't matter when I walk out the door

Familiar faces put on dolls
Fashioned raincoats and handmade tools
When the evening's ending

I'm still standing tall, surrounded but these loop holed walls
Any minute I'll begin a ticking time bomb till I run
Once we're gone, at the sight of the lights out, nightfall shades the sun
We'll put together, said and done, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Seven months led the breaking, breaking only rules that apply
In this prison labeled, unable to abort
A reputation redefined tonight in the darkest hour
When the three of us are missing, one is missing out
He gave little time to a job that needed more

Familiar faces put on dolls
Fashioned raincoats and handmade tools
When the evening's ending

I'm still standing tall, surrounded but these loop holed walls
Any minute I'll begin a ticking time bomb till I run
Once we're gone, at the sight of the lights out, nightfall shades the sun
We'll put together, said and done, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Lights out now, it?s half past nine, up a 30 ft corridor three men climb
It should have been four, but one man is left behind
Crawl from the rooftop down to the northern end
Through the thickest fog to the water's edge
For the thrilling ride to be never seen again

Whistles blow on the morning at the sight of a break
3 empty cells with only decoy faces
Of the ones now known to the other side of the bay
Victim's lost and drown or so they say, only presumed dead
But the deadliest way for you to keep your life is let it seem to slip away

Familiar faces put on dolls
Fashioned raincoats and handmade tools
When the evening's ending

I'm still standing tall, surrounded by these loop holed walls
From beginning to the end a ticking time bomb on the run
And now we're gone at the sight of the lights out
Nightfall shades the sun
We'll put together, said and done, oh, oh, oh, oh oh, oh, oh

Once and for all, surrendered we're the broke down walls
I can't thank them enough for the pleasure of growing old
We'll move on in a long lived story that everyone will know
But the ending's left untold, but the ending's left untold

But the ending's left untold, but the ending's left untold
But the ending's left untold, but the ending's left untold
But the ending's left untold, but the ending's left untold
But the ending's left untold, but the ending's left untold

    This is a great song by Capital Lights. Completely tells the whole story of Frank Morris's escape. Why did they write about Frank Morris though, is there any connection or was it just random?

    this band sounds neat but every song is about a breaking up with his girlfriend and nothing about God. so much for the christian label

    and "From beginging till the end a ticking time bomb on the run" and I thought it said "he gave little time to a job that needed more" but that one might just be me

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
