This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
So now you're running
It's hard to see clearly
When I make you angry
You're stuck in the past
And now you're screaming
So can you forgive me?
I've treated you badly
But I am still here
Sometimes I wonder
Why I'm still waiting
Sometimes I'm shaking
That's how you make me
Sometimes I question
Why I am still here
Sometimes I think I am going crazy
Can you help me understand?
And now you wish that you meant something
And now you wish that you meant something to somebody else
And now you wish that you met someone
And now you wish that you meant something to somebody else
(Someone) (something to somebody else)
You look at me through clouded eyes
I know you see through my lies
See the sky, see the stars
All of this could be ours
Out of sight, out of mind
We've been through this a thousand times
Turn your back and then you make me feel so crazy
Can you help me understand?
Can you help me understand?
And now you wish that you meant something
And now you wish that you meant something to somebody else
And now you wish that you met someone
And now you wish that you meant something to somebody else
(Someone) (something to somebody else)
You know I would wait forever
Yes, I would wait (I would wait)
You know I would wait forever
Yes, I would wait
Can you help me understand?
And now you wish that you meant something
And now you wish that you meant something to somebody else
And now you wish that you met someone
And now you wish that you meant something to somebody else
(Someone) (something to somebody else)
And I'm the one that should mean something
But still you wish that you meant something to somebody else
Something to somebody else, something to somebody else
It's hard to see clearly
When I make you angry
You're stuck in the past
And now you're screaming
So can you forgive me?
I've treated you badly
But I am still here
Sometimes I wonder
Why I'm still waiting
Sometimes I'm shaking
That's how you make me
Sometimes I question
Why I am still here
Sometimes I think I am going crazy
Can you help me understand?
And now you wish that you meant something
And now you wish that you meant something to somebody else
And now you wish that you met someone
And now you wish that you meant something to somebody else
(Someone) (something to somebody else)
You look at me through clouded eyes
I know you see through my lies
See the sky, see the stars
All of this could be ours
Out of sight, out of mind
We've been through this a thousand times
Turn your back and then you make me feel so crazy
Can you help me understand?
Can you help me understand?
And now you wish that you meant something
And now you wish that you meant something to somebody else
And now you wish that you met someone
And now you wish that you meant something to somebody else
(Someone) (something to somebody else)
You know I would wait forever
Yes, I would wait (I would wait)
You know I would wait forever
Yes, I would wait
Can you help me understand?
And now you wish that you meant something
And now you wish that you meant something to somebody else
And now you wish that you met someone
And now you wish that you meant something to somebody else
(Someone) (something to somebody else)
And I'm the one that should mean something
But still you wish that you meant something to somebody else
Something to somebody else, something to somebody else

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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

@[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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
I agree with T Y R A N T. I would rather have them without Ronnie than not have them at all.
I think maybe it's about being in a relationship, and knowing it's screwed up, and you both want it to work out, and you want each other, but you want something more than the screwed up thing you have so badly that you wish you weren't involved with this person, and you want someone better, but still wanting the person you're with and not understanding why you can't just figure it all out when you so badly want to.
I can't type it the way I think it, but that's about as best as I can say it. I'm probably way off the mark, but either way, this is the best song from This War is Ours in my opinion.
i agree with you
i miss ronnie too but fuck em. he blew it way too many times. i'ts better to have ETF with craig then no ETF at all.
And this is a great song. clear meaning
Its kinda different from their old stuff with Ronnie, but at the same time its like a breath of fresh air.
This song is amazing
i also took some info from of the video .i think its about a girl cheating on her boyfriend with his friends he doesnt know that but he has made her mad in some way and he begs for her forgivness and some other dude gets upset seeing him with her and challendes him to a race so his friends come and see him with her and knows what she was doing so after he knows aswell and she forgives him and tries to make up when he wins but he denys her because now he hates her
IMO this is the best song from the new album The lyrics are pretty clearly, is about relationship But... I wish Ronnie would sang this
Thank You! i wish Ronnie would sing this too! It broke my heart so bad when he messed up he was my idol
This song, is also amazing. I think the meaning is obvious.
if i had to pick a favourite from the new album, i'd have to pick this one. sadly
I believe this song is about a relation ship where both messed up, but the guy messed up more. He doesn't know whether or not that the girl will forgive him, she goes back sometimes but in the end she leasves because she can't handle it.
The guy wants the clear answer from the girl "Will you forgive me" but she is indecisive that it seems like now she is playing with the guys mind. The guy messed up but now he realizes why he likes this particular girl but wishes that he never hurt her and that she had found someone that is better than him.
Thats what I got
it's a toxic relationship with fouls on both sides. but the guy doesn't know why he's trying anymore. made up his mind, it's time to leave.
love the vocals when he sings "can you help me understand" btw.
