Nothing Greater

Informatik

What is life supposed to mean?
A mystery?
Some mystery.

Who am I supposed to be?
Who am I to be?
Anything?
Is this real or just a dream
Or do I know or just believe
All these feelings that I fear reality?
My eyes are open now I see
With the utmost certainty
That time is leading
It slips away

There is nothing greater than this
No other place or time I know
There is nowhere I'd rather be so why ask for
Why ask for more

So many things to do and see
For me to know, for me to be
I never realized 'til now
What this life means
Means to me

Relive a lie and die each day
pretending it's not happening
but we need it
we all need it to believe

Somebody out there help me please
Give me some peace and set me free
Stop me from making the same mistakes

There is nothing greater than this
No other place or time I know
There is nowhere I'd rather be so why ask for
Why ask for more

What is a worry
There is no hurry
These are the stories of our lives

The moment, the glory
The sound and the fury
These are the stories of our lives

Nothing greater than this
Nothing greater than this

Stop dreaming of fictious places
Just take a look around
Everything you want is right here
Everything you need is now
Everything is yours to try
You are free to change your mind
You don't need a reason why
To spread your wings and touch the sky

    I think this song explains itself. Live for the moment. Don't try to live a dream, live for what life is.

    "Somebody out there help me please Give me some peace and set me free Stop me from making the same mistakes" I think he's trying to convey that he's screwed it up in the past and clearly was looking at things wrongly.

    Having realized the way he ought to see life, he's basically coming out and saying that life is what it is. Live it to the fullest and you'll realize it's good enough as it is. Sound good?

    I love this song. It makes me think differently than I ever have.

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.

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.
