This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Paper crane in a dirty train
Trying to dry her wings
The atom split between her lips
In the final stage
Chemicals dissolve and the family disappears
She sees her life slip between the cracks in the atomic age
Like a shot in the vein
Like a shot in the vein
Can a pilot see the distant arc of history
A thousand suns all burst at once in a blinding rage
We need a drug
We need something to take the dreams away
The dream of peace has gone to sleep sleep
In the passing lane
Like a shot in the vein
Like s shot in the vein
There's a black dog hanging by a string
In the flutter of a thousand paper wings
You put your faith in the chemicals
But you fear the crash and you overreact
And you hear the bomb going off
Then you see the flash, it's out of sync
When you take bitter pills
No sugarcoat can mask the taste
A thousand paper cranes
Left out in the rain
A thousand paper cranes
Trying to dry her wings
The atom split between her lips
In the final stage
Chemicals dissolve and the family disappears
She sees her life slip between the cracks in the atomic age
Like a shot in the vein
Like a shot in the vein
Can a pilot see the distant arc of history
A thousand suns all burst at once in a blinding rage
We need a drug
We need something to take the dreams away
The dream of peace has gone to sleep sleep
In the passing lane
Like a shot in the vein
Like s shot in the vein
There's a black dog hanging by a string
In the flutter of a thousand paper wings
You put your faith in the chemicals
But you fear the crash and you overreact
And you hear the bomb going off
Then you see the flash, it's out of sync
When you take bitter pills
No sugarcoat can mask the taste
A thousand paper cranes
Left out in the rain
A thousand paper cranes

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
Bee Gees
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.

American Town

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
the original title was "the unintended long-term effects of advanced nuclear waste," but geoff decided it was too long. geoff says in an article in AP about how he met a young woman in his depression support group whose family moved to america when she was just a girl. they were originally from hiroshima and they all ended up dying of radiation sickness and cancer and geoff can't help but think that because of america's actions, "there was a cloud that had drifted over America's sense of morality and self, after unleashing that kind of devastation on another people. This song is about living under that cloud."
