This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Sweat in the heat for days on end
Waiting for you to come again
To hear the words spill from your lips
The system has fallen
Mass action on the radio
Like a great river ebbs and flows
Carrying us to the final close
When the system has fallen
I know that you are tired and you are weary
Seen too much to believe any more
But we have to keep moving down that long road
If we want to reach that far shore
We're on our way home to find this freedom
And I'm on my way home to find you my friend
Where we can stand in the light of the people
And breathe life into the land again.
Siyathemba, siyathemba kuwena nkosi
Sizo fika ema khaya
Siyathemba, siyathemba kuwena nkosi
Sizo fika ema khaya
Hey you, if you dance in the shadows
The shadows will cover you
And paralyze all the hope in your eyes
That you'll need to bring you shining through
Could you believe I am your brother
Could you believe that I could be your friend
And although I don't know the language that you speak
We could be closer than you have ever dreamt
We're on our way home to find this freedom
And I'm on my way home to find you my friend
Where we can stand in the light of the people
And breathe life into the land again
Siyathemba, siyathemba kuwena nkosi
Sizo fika ema khaya
Siyathemba, siyathemba kuwena nkosi
Sizo fika ema khaya
Ngizobeka phansi uku zondana kwami
Ngizobeka phansi uku
Ngizobeka phansi izenzo zegazi
Ngizoxolelana nezitha zami wemadoda
Sizo fika ema khaya
Sizo fika ema khaya
Siyathemba, siyathemba kuwena nkosi
Sizo fika ema khaya
Siyathemba, siyathemba kuwena nkosi
Sizo fika ema khaya
Siyathemba, siyathemba kuwena nkosi
Sizo fika ema khaya
Siyathemba, siyathemba kuwena nkosi
Sizo fika ema khaya
Siyathemba, siyathemba kuwena nkosi
Sizo fika ema khaya
Siyathemba, siyathemba kuwena nkosi
Sizo fika ema khaya
Siyathemba, siyathemba kuwena nkosi
Sizo fika ema khaya
Siyathemba, siyathemba kuwena nkosi
Sizo fika ema khaya
Waiting for you to come again
To hear the words spill from your lips
The system has fallen
Mass action on the radio
Like a great river ebbs and flows
Carrying us to the final close
When the system has fallen
I know that you are tired and you are weary
Seen too much to believe any more
But we have to keep moving down that long road
If we want to reach that far shore
We're on our way home to find this freedom
And I'm on my way home to find you my friend
Where we can stand in the light of the people
And breathe life into the land again.
Siyathemba, siyathemba kuwena nkosi
Sizo fika ema khaya
Siyathemba, siyathemba kuwena nkosi
Sizo fika ema khaya
Hey you, if you dance in the shadows

Siyathemba, siyathemba kuwena nkosi
Sizo fika ema khaya

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
