Your condescending stare
You know it’s so unfair
I gotta ask myself why I’m hanging around
This ain’t no good for me
You’re my insanity
I keep on wondering why I’m hanging around
Baby I’ll always be your fool

I bet you wanted to punish me
I know you wanted to punish me
Feels like you wanted to punish me
You got just what you wanted
I got just what I needed
You got just what you wanted from me oh Lord
And I think I like it

Our world is love and hate
It’s just a twist of fate
That keeps me wondering why I’m hanging around
You know I’m gonna pay
For all you do and say
I keep on wondering why I’m hanging around
Baby I’ll always be your fool

I bet you wanted to punish me
I know you wanted to punish me
Feels like you wanted to punish me
You got just what you wanted
I got just what I needed
You got just what you wanted from me oh Lord
And I think I like it

Whatever you say, you know I’ll do

I bet you wanted to punish me
I know you wanted to punish me
Feels like you wanted to punish me
You got just what you wanted
I got just what I needed
You got just what you wanted from me oh Lord
And I think I like it
And I think I like it, love it, I like it, love it, I like it love it

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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 Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
