Hey son I'm looking forwards
You're aiming backwards
Of this I'm sure

Have you had enough
Are you feeling rough
Does your skull hurt
Well if it's war

I am taking back what's mine
I am taking back the time
You may call it suicide
But I'm being born again

I'm waiting, I'm waiting,
I'm waiting for someone or something
To take me to take me over

Days the days are forgotten
Now it's all over, you've simply forgotten
How to disappear

Hombre, I got blood lust
Feeding you bread crust
I leave no scar

You say I'm old hat
A fucking dirty rat
Call me a cliché
How right you are

I am with the vagabonds
I am righting all your wrongs
You may call it suicide
But I'm being born again

I'm waiting, I'm waiting,
I'm waiting for someone or something
To take me to take me over

Days the days are forgotten
Now it's all over, you've simply forgotten
How to disappear

I saw something out there in the darkest star
You were sat at home chewing on monkey brain

I am not here I'm just a silhouette
You will never ever ever forget

    Pretty sure its not "I saw something I get on the dark It's the" but "I saw something out there on the darkest star". Just what my ear hears anyway. Fantastic song though! This album took a while to grow on me but now I'm completely hooked!

    Chuffing love this, no comments yet?

    Now what with the video there may or may not be an Ian Curtis reference in there from the album the video recaptures. Not well-up on that musical history.

    "Being reborn". Silhouette being not quite all-colour, it's about coming out from the darkness once the dust has settled (now it's all over) and simply forgetting the days - these are supposedly harder times.

    For me this is a proper anthem, and makes me want to see them live, only really just got into them with this album.

    The vagabond thing, "I'm righting all your wrongs". Now, this is a fairly long shot, but he's speaking about the vagabonds and kind of wants to proclaim their message (whatever that may be) and put the rest of the world to rights. That's what I think. So a vagabond looks inside from the outside and judges, and is usually bang on the money!

    Is he encouraging the vagabond? To disappear? If so, why?

    Well I hope to find more answers in the daaayyyss to come.

    This song is about Jesus. I’m looking forward - to salvation I’m taking back what’s mine - You belong to the Lord Days are forgotten- you are forgiven for all your sins I am with the vagabonds I am righting all your wrongs You may call it suicide But I'm being born again - Jesus came to the sinners and cleared us all of our wrongs

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
