Let the trumpet sound for the coming King.
The almighty approaches!
Let the whole world see.
Wake up!
This is really happening--the locusts devouring everything.
The great and dreadful day of the
Lord has fallen on the land.
May you bear the mark of righteousness.
We will not be forsaken.
May your conviction stand to profess: we will not be forgotten.

America, you will be judged,
but His people will be restored.
Fall to your knees
for there is life at the throne of God
You will be judged.
Seek your mercy now, while it may still be found.
Arise,
take up your sword and choose your side.
Tonight, prepare for battle.
For the dream of God will come
from the lips of children,
and His Spirit will pour out
onto all flesh.
You will see the sun black out,
and the moon turned to blood.
Then you will know there is one God
and the LORD is His name.

You will be judged,
but His people will be restored.
Fall to your knees,
for there is life
at the throne of God.

    I'm sure it says

    "Then you will know there is one God, and Eloi is His name"

    I love this message.

    At first it sounds rather comdemning, "AMERICA, YOU WILL BE JUDGED" kind of gives off that Christians are better than everyone, but the truth is that America will be judged and when they get to the end of their rope they'll wish that mercy could still be found. Those that refuse to give God a chance will be wishing that they had, they will know that there is one God, and Eloi is his name.

    My hope is that they see Eloi before that time comes.

    God bless! -Chance

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
