Said we gonna send fire to teach you - shake the dice
We might take all that you own
So when you say another word we will see through games and lies
So don’t you dare make a sound
Oooh you tumble down - you’re breaking your bones
The steeper the road you go
Yet we all keep fighting just to play
Said I can’t pretend the disease don’t show - now you’re addicted and broke
Betting you can float, but in this slippery town
Just take a step and you’ll drown
Oooh Same time while you’re belly’s full we can’t get food enough
So shake in your boots we shout - we figure it out
We breaking you down

So are you strong enough - not to call or bluff
Strong enough to be free from games we play?

Shake up the dice and throw
Play your hand or you fold
Shake up the dice and throw
Decide are you gonna fight or make peace with me?
Shake up the dice and throw
Hypnotized we stumble
Shake up the dice and throw
Decide are you gonna fight or make peace with me?

Our politician’s hands are greased
They sold out to the beast
Represents the great seal watch as they compromise ideals
Why it’s a law, Fam
Witnessed and saw, man
They put the guns in the hands of the youth that lost all hope
Set up as the scapegoat so people won’t know the true
Nature of the beast
Now watch here is the key
With just a slight of the hand the crowd it goes wild
They tighten down our shackles and all we seein’ is smiles
They shaking the dice it’s just an ego device
Got addicted to games and now they’re playing with life
I’m on a world tour with Elras my man
With a Mic in our hands, revealing terrorist plans

So are you strong enough - not to call or bluff
Strong enough to be free from games we play?

Shake up the dice and throw
Play your hand or you fold
Shake up the dice and throw
Decide are you gonna fight or make peace with me?
Shake up the dice and throw
Hypnotized we stumble
Shake up the dice and throw
Decide are you gonna fight or make peace with me?

Said you play me too far, now we coming to your own home
To make you give what you owe
You can’t help the way you shudder and shake
You’re thinking too slow
You better wait ‘til you’re grown
You can’t play your card deceiving the crowd, so keep on watching your mouth
Or maybe truth will come out
Don’t break your neck just to steal the prize
Play for something real so

Shake up the dice and throw
Play your hand or you fold
Shake up the dice and throw
Decide are you gonna fight or make peace with me?
Shake up the dice and throw
Hypnotized we stumble
Shake up the dice and throw
Decide are you gonna fight or make peace with me?

Decide are you gonna fight or make peace with me?

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
