How does the dagger feel now
When you're on the receiving end?
If this is what you call betrayal
Then this is what I call revenge

How could I be so blind?
I guess I fell in love too quickly
But I'm fine

Imagine where you'd be now if you only knew (if you only knew)
The one you love is the one who's killing you
I trusted you too much
I know now that I should have kept my eyes wide open
The first time that we kissed
I'll bury you for this

Just say to me
That this time is the last time
And I'll pretend that
Somehow I know we'll be fine

Years spent watching in silence as your illness spilled onto page
Those were the last days I spent with you
Before you left, before he came

How could I be so blind?
I guess I fell in love too quickly
But I'm fine

Imagine where you'd be now if you only knew (if you only knew)
The one you love is the one who's killing you
I trusted you too much
I know now that I should have kept my eyes wide open
The first time that we kissed
I'll bury you for this

Just say to me that
This time is the last time
And I'll pretend that I'm fine

Oh is it my fault?
You fell into the illusion you've been living discretely
Oh should I blame you in the end?
Did you ever think the sketches would take over completely?

Oh is it my fault?
Oh is it my fault?

Die, just die
You are scum
You are filth
Choke on blood as your knife
Ends the show
Writhe in pain you thought
You'd never know

I don't think they dig graves close enough to hell for the likes of you
I don't think they dig graves close enough to hell for the likes of you

I handed you a knife and my heart, oh
I handed you a knife and my heart, oh
And now the dream is over, oh
And now the dream is over

How could I be so blind?
I guess I fell in love too quickly
But I'm fine

Imagine where you'd be now if you only knew (if you only knew)
The one you love is the one who's killing you
I trusted you too much
I know now that I should have kept my eyes wide open
The first time that we kissed
I'll bury you for this

I handed you a knife and my heart, oh
I handed you a knife and my heart, oh
And now the dream is over
And now the dream is over

I handed you a knife and my heart, oh
I handed you a knife and my heart, oh
And now the dream is over, oh
And now the dream is over

I handed you a knife and my heart, oh
I handed you a knife and my heart, oh
And now the dream is over, oh
And now the dream is over

    He doesn't kill her. That was part of the insanity that the Artist was feeling. He made up an alter-ego the "Thespian" that he imagined killed her. And fell into his own little world. This song is about Annabel finally realizing that he is too far gone, and he tries to kill her. She kills him first.

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
