I don't want him tonight
I don't wanna be cruel
I don't wanna deny
But failure is my favorite thing

Take me to the bar
Drink up to sorrow
Sorrow for break-up
Borrow who you are

Indecision is annoying
Not as annoying as
Your sharp tongue

Pierce my lips
Don't shred me down to strips
You're way too good at it
You're way too good at it

Escape me
Escape me
Bottles under tires
Forget about friends

Escape me
Escape me
Black out tendencies
Forget about the future

Back at the bar
Drunk on my sorrow
From another break-up
Forgetting who you were

Indecision is annoying
Not as annoying as
Your sharp tongue

Escape me
Escape me
Bottles under tires
Forget about friends

Escape me
Escape me
Blackout tendencies
Forget about the future

Pretty things ohh
Pretty things ohh
Everything ohh
Pretty things

Pierce my lips
Don't shred me down to strips
You're way too good at it
You're way too good at it

Escape me
Escape me
Bottles under tires
Forget about friends

Escape me
Escape me
Blackout tendencies
Forget about the future

    Reminiscent of Sleigh Bells, especially, Straight A's. And it only took up a 1:32 of my time.

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.

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.
