Calm me down
Calm me down
I'm inside out and upside down
Hold my head in your hands
To calm me down
Get it out

Get it out, oh, oh
Get it out
Use your teeth and your mouth
Cut in deep to pull it out
Oh no, I'm aroused now
I'm aroused
You better calm me down
Oh, calm me down
Use your teeth and your mouth

Use your body
Use it to put me to sleep
Your body, oh
Soothe my soul
So beautiful

All my life, oh, oh
All my life
I hurt myself and cut myself
Put myself through living hell
All so I could feel what I felt
When you took me in
Absolved my sins
With your flesh and skin
Use your skin

Use your body
Use it to put me to sleep
Your body, oh
Soothe my soul
So beautiful

Calm me down
Baby
Your teeth, your mouth, and me
Happily married, baby
Calm me right down

Use your body
Use it to put me to sleep
Your body, oh
Use your body
Use it to put me to sleep
Your body, oh

Soothe my soul
So beautiful

(Oh, oh)
(Oh, oh)
I wanna be a good man
Don't wanna be no has-been
I wanna be a real friend
Don't wanna break when I bend
I wanna be a sweet son
Don't wanna fight with my mom
I wanna be no seeker
I wanna scream eureka, ah
I wanna scream eureka, ah
I wanna scream eureka, ah

    The sexual desire to calm the worries I guess

    My Interpretation

    My first reaction was just, it's about sex, and sex with irony because calming down means sexual excitement. But later I saw it in a different light and completely fell in love with the song.

    To me it's not just about sex, it's about someone who has obscure sexual desires and maybe even a troubled past. There's this wild and suppressed side to him begging to be let out so much that it makes him anxious, and he has to be calmed down by this special person in this specific way. I mean why not? Have you even known of a person whose worries could only be calmed down by kisses and attention from a loved one? And it's through this intimate act with this person, that he finds release, not just physically, but on a spiritual level right down to his soul.

    To me these particular lines are most interesting...

    "All my life I hurt myself and cut myself Put myself through living hell All so I could feel what I felt" When you took me in Absolve my sins

    Is this person talking about hurting themselves for their own sexual pleasure? It would seem so, as that's also what they ask of the person they're singing to. But in those last three lines it takes a turn, saying that they went through this in the past for what they have now. This makes me think perhaps they were hurt by others or their environment or perhaps something in their head. It could even be something like anxiety, alienation, or guilt for their desires. Until of course they met this person who absolves their sins through this intimate act be they physical sins or the sin of desire.

    And then there's the wording used towards the person the singer is addressing. This is what makes me feel that the bond between these two people is particularly important. Speaking over and over of the beauty of this person's body and the healing effect is has, and also little phrases like "happily married" and asking her to hold his head in her hands. That he wants to be a sweet son and doesn't want to fight, is not only kinky language but also shows he wants a good relationship with this person.

    The combination of sexual intimacy and intimacy of the soul is what makes this song so intriguing to me. To be a special someone who is the key to releasing another someone's anxieties and fulfilling their fantasies, well that's certainly a relationship I'd love to have.

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.
