This bottle of Bacardi
Is making me a little bit testy
We wear shirts spelling live and love
It's so ironic when we choose none of the above
My thoughts seem separated
Because my eyes are dilated
This club can't keep my head straight
I'm busy looking for a late-night soulmate
We're steady sitting in the lap of luxury
Well get up or it will end in tragedy

808's are shaking up the dance floor
Just you wait, tonight I'm gonna make my
Mind erase to justify the things I did
Tonight will end in tragedy
(Oh, oh) tonight will end in tragedy
(Oh, oh) dancing in the lap of luxury
(Oh, oh) tonight will end in tragedy
(Oh, oh) dancing in the lap of luxury

"Take a look around before you fall"
"This bottle's barely lightened"
"Do you really want this night at all?"
"There's no need to be frightened"
This monster I've created
Is bound to end up jaded
I can't quite seem to walk straight
With inhibitions slowing at a temporary rate

808's are shaking up the dance floor
Just you wait, tonight I'm gonna make my
Mind erase to justify the things I did
Tonight will end in tragedy
(Oh, oh) tonight will end in tragedy
(Oh, oh) we're dancing in the lap of luxury
(Oh, oh) tonight will end in tragedy
(Oh, oh) dancing in the lap of luxury

Love lost, lip gloss
Faded pictures fill my scrap book of
Love lost, lip gloss
Faded pictures fill my scrap book of

Take a shot down, another rebound
Blissful, blackout
Take a shot down, another rebound
Blissful, blackout

808's are shaking up the dance floor
Just you wait, tonight I'm gonna make my
Mind erase to justify the things I did (I did)
Tonight (tonight) will end in tragedy (will end in tragedy!)
Tonight will end in tragedy
We're dancing in the lap of luxury
Tonight will end in tragedy

808's are shaking up the dance floor
Just you wait, tonight I'm gonna make my
Mind erase to justify the things I did
Tonight will end in tragedy

Tonight will end in tragedy
We're dancing in the lap of luxury
Tonight will end in tragedy
We're dancing in the lap of luxury

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
