This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Started a dangerous game that's not won by
The person who made the first move
Chose to be targeted by all those eyes
And now, some of you think I'm a fool
I guess I am guilty, I'm only a man
But this world is imperfect too,
And that just has to do
I chose not to hear what the smart people said,
And instead played my cards like a fool
Every day took a chance to get caught in the fire,
These flames do not burn like I do
I wait in line to be hung by the neck,
until everyone sees I'm right
I need to have my chains
Removed and hide here
While the spotlight's seeking me
Forget the world for now, my Love,
And live these days with me
As if the world wasn't ending
Cheers
Masks removed we hide here
While the spotlight's seeking me
Forget the world for now, my Love,
And live these days with me
As if the world wasn't ending
Take me where I cannot hear
The people calling me
Pour Whisky, Brandy, Vodka
Come and live this night with me
As if the world wasn't ending
The person who made the first move
Chose to be targeted by all those eyes
And now, some of you think I'm a fool
I guess I am guilty, I'm only a man
But this world is imperfect too,
And that just has to do
I chose not to hear what the smart people said,
And instead played my cards like a fool
Every day took a chance to get caught in the fire,
These flames do not burn like I do
I wait in line to be hung by the neck,
until everyone sees I'm right
I need to have my chains
Removed and hide here
While the spotlight's seeking me
Forget the world for now, my Love,
And live these days with me
As if the world wasn't ending
Cheers
Masks removed we hide here
While the spotlight's seeking me
Forget the world for now, my Love,
And live these days with me
As if the world wasn't ending
Take me where I cannot hear
The people calling me
Pour Whisky, Brandy, Vodka
Come and live this night with me
As if the world wasn't ending

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
I was fortunate enough to see Sonata Arctica live in January 2010, before performing this song, Tony explained that it highlights the importance of a friend or partner who you can rely on in your time of need... a companion who's not concerned with what other people are saying, because they trust and believe in you... the type of person who will stand by you, when no one else does.
The song isn't about the end of the world, or anything along those lines. My guess is the line "as if the world wasn't ending" simply refers to the overreactions of the people calling him a fool. They make a mountain out of a molehill, so to speak. He and his partner ("my love") spend time away from their usual group or area ("take me where I cannot hear the people calling me"), until the commotion has settled down and it's safe for him to show his face again ("until everyone sees that I'm right").
Basically, it's all about having a close friend or partner who will look after you... support you.
No comments here? I really like a lot this song. It makes me think about the end of the world, even if I'm not quite sure that it is really what Tony wants to talk about in this song, anyway, makes me think that when "everything fades to grey" :P love and relationships will remain the only last things worth caring about.
Forget the world for now, my Love, And live these days with me As if the world wasn't ending...
Probably this is not the true meaning of the song. But I like to think about this in this sense. (2012 is getting closer...ehehehe just kidding). S.A.'s songs are beautiful also because they can be interpretated in many, maaany different ways.
Sorry for the mistakes..I'm not English!
i think its about someone who has made alot of mistakes in life and is asking the one he loves to forget the past and live the rest of their days together in the present
