I'm losing too much sleep these days
Some say that my life ain't safe
I guess I'm trying to find the words to say
that maybe I'm tired

I've been drinking way too much these days
I can't even remember my face,
until I wake up in another state,
in a town unexpected
And see myself as I'm changing shape,
unlike a coward who changes face
I'm turning myself in today
I gotta finish what I start

Give me the chance to speak my mind
my opinions are the social kind
If it's you for you, and I for I,
then one of us is gonna leave here blind
You know I won't give up without a fight
even if I'm the one who's wrong
and you're who's right

It's not right to be brought down
by words from an unknown mouth
They think that they've figured me out,
but they don't even know me
This has taken a turn for the worst,
as fate showed up in a blacked out hearse
ready to carry my soul away
and bury my body
So If you checked the weather report
than why the fuck are we driving north,
You know we're heading into the storm,
to finish what we started

Just give me the chance to speak my mind
My opinions are the social kind.
If it's you for you, and I for I,
then one of us is gonna leave here blind
You know I won't give up without a fight,
even if I'm the one who's wrong
and you're who's right

I'm losing too much sleep these days
some say that my life ain't safe,
cause I've been stuck here waiting

You never give me the chance to speak my mind
my opinions are the social kind.
If it's you for you, and I for I,
then one of us is gonna leave here blind
You know I won't give up without a fight,
even if I'm the one who's wrong
and you're who's right.

    im pretty sure the last line is: "even if you're the one who's wrong and i'm who's right". but anyways, good song, i think its about beliving in yourself and standing up for what you belive in, not letting people tell you what to do.

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
