This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
So, we were living out our days
In an old abandoned palisade
Sweeping chimneys until our backs hurt
And singing 'til our throats were dry
Scraping the red from every rusty nail
Stitching the carpet sails
We kept our salty voices hushed
You looked lovely all dressed in dust
I cleared the cobwebs while you slept
Set a fire that we both regret
You woke up coughing out a storm
And we never made it out the door
'Cause I, for one, was taking my time
I think it's time you and I should go home
It's been three years and I can feel it in my bones
If turning back means I am turning back alone
Then I guess I'm on my own, I'm on my own
It was six-hundred degrees
We had nothing to protect our feet
From the glowing members hardening our souls
Our burden bed of coal
But that fever that we shared wasn't nothing that we couldn't bare
Yeah we just wrapped around each other
And we sweat it out, our worst nightmare
And I think that's when I was born
In your arms during a fire storm
We were perfectly in place
We were filling up the empty space
But you were tired of wasting your time
Your spirit fled from
All those bad ideas we bled
I twisted up all of your words
And I turned to brass
While you were tearing down the past
Now I'm trailing, I'm traveling light
And losing my memories
I think it's time you and I should come home
It's been three years and I can feel it in my bones
If turning back means I am turning back alone
Then I guess I'm on my own, I'm on my own
In an old abandoned palisade
Sweeping chimneys until our backs hurt
And singing 'til our throats were dry
Scraping the red from every rusty nail
Stitching the carpet sails
We kept our salty voices hushed
You looked lovely all dressed in dust
I cleared the cobwebs while you slept
Set a fire that we both regret
You woke up coughing out a storm
And we never made it out the door
'Cause I, for one, was taking my time
I think it's time you and I should go home
It's been three years and I can feel it in my bones
If turning back means I am turning back alone
Then I guess I'm on my own, I'm on my own
It was six-hundred degrees
We had nothing to protect our feet
From the glowing members hardening our souls
Our burden bed of coal
But that fever that we shared wasn't nothing that we couldn't bare
Yeah we just wrapped around each other
And we sweat it out, our worst nightmare
And I think that's when I was born
In your arms during a fire storm
We were perfectly in place
We were filling up the empty space
But you were tired of wasting your time
Your spirit fled from
All those bad ideas we bled
I twisted up all of your words
And I turned to brass
While you were tearing down the past
Now I'm trailing, I'm traveling light
And losing my memories
I think it's time you and I should come home
It's been three years and I can feel it in my bones
If turning back means I am turning back alone
Then I guess I'm on my own, I'm on my own

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.
Great song and passionate lyrics I really hope this band reaches far and wide
