Joey: "I wish I wasn't so insecure with my masculinity... maybe then I wouldn't have to talk about raping women and committing suicide, or wear this stupid mask to shock little kids and make myself feel more hardcore and powerful. the truth is, we only care about two things... $money$ and... cheese."

This morning I woke up and everything was gray,
I tried to slit my wrists and throat,
With this piece of extra sharp cheddar I found in my bed,
Then I realized that there's one thing that makes this life,
Worth living... and that's nothing,
Nothing but cheese...

(Chorus):
Fuck everything (except cheese)
I hate my life (but I love cheese)
I wish I was dead (if it wasn't for cheese)
I'm so hardcore (and so is cheese)

I'm only living for the cheese
The cheese that keeps me going
Fresh mozzarella and sweet parmesan
Once I cut myself on the lawn
And then I found something that made me smile
And it was cheese... cheese... cheese!

(Chorus x2)

Fuck you and fuck your family too
I hate you all, I hate everything
I'm so cool and deep and twisted
But I'm nothing without the cheese
The cheese that gives me a reason to
Get up in the morning... to move on with my life

And I just don't know if I can take this
I don't want to live another second
I'm gonna rape you, y'all best be scared
Because I'm a tough bad ass
But don't hurt yourself
Because then I'd get sued
And mtv would break their contract with me
And I'd have no money
Not even cheese

(Chorus x2)

Fuck fuck fuckity fuck fuck

(Random screaming)

I hate everything

The cheese!
The cheese!
God dammit the cheese!

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
