And when the time is right
It's gonna change the world
And with the darkened sky
There is nothing fertile
And there is no more love
Or fucking gates of pearls

I see the seven stars
I see the seven stands
I hear the deathly voice
I count the sins we have
I am the living one
I am the first and last

The crowds the noise the change of the guard
It's such a strange celebration
The kids they laugh there's fire it eats up the world
It's such a strange celebration
All our eyes are burned by heaven and earth
It's such a strange celebration

And they know who we are
The seven angels sing
And several billion die
With the earth shaking
Yeah they know who we are
And they will set us free

The crowds the noise the change of the guard
It's such a strange celebration
The kids they laugh there's fire it eats up the world
It's such a strange celebration
All our eyes are burned by heaven and earth
It's such a strange celebration

    Song Meaning

    Frezear, this song, like most of the second part of the album is about the apocalypse. The second part of the album is about remembering to live and love and how our lives will end someday. the song borrows form the book of revelation with the seven angels and several billion dying. Along with the seven stars seven stands etc. (theres alot of 7's in the book of revelation). Hoever Tom reasurres us that God and the angels know who the true believers are and that we will be set free before the earth goes to hell,only if you believe.

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.

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/
