This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll
Oh, and that music filled my soul
I've been wild since I was young
Takin' my freedom out on the run
Fought the rules, fought the ropes
When I was rolling, when I was broke
Did my drinking, had my fun
Nothing ever got in my way
Did my loving as I pleased
"This is livin'," I used to say
I am an eagle and I've got to fly
Climbin' against the wind
I am a spirit who will never break
Never have a heart to mend
Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll
Oh, and that music filled my soul
Somewhere on that freedom road
Started fighting for my own soul
Thought of Jimmy and Janis, too
Livin' fast til they were through
Then my heart began to break
Fallin' when I wanted to fly
Someone said, "Gal, slow down
You're too young, too young to die"
Even an eagle has to fall sometimes
Climbing against the wind
Even a strong heart has to break
And learn to love and heal again
All that runnin' got to me
Could I stop and still be free?
Could I break and still be whole?
Would I live to rock and roll?
Got some friends who stood by me
Tellin' me that I would survive
Said, "You're strong, you sing your song
Know you're lucky to be alive"
Still my spirit yearns to run
Chasing every star in the sky
Wild and free I'll always be
I've got someone, I've got me
I am an eagle and I have to fly
Climbing against the wind
I've had a heart that had to break
To learn to heal and love again
Even an eagle has to fall sometimes
Climbing against the wind
Even a strong heart has to break
And learn to love and heal again
Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll
Oh, and that music filled my soul
Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll
Oh, and that music filled my soul
Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll
Oh, and that music filled my soul
Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll
Oh, and that music filled my soul
Oh, and that music filled my soul
I've been wild since I was young
Takin' my freedom out on the run
Fought the rules, fought the ropes
When I was rolling, when I was broke
Did my drinking, had my fun
Nothing ever got in my way
Did my loving as I pleased
"This is livin'," I used to say
I am an eagle and I've got to fly
Climbin' against the wind
I am a spirit who will never break
Never have a heart to mend
Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll
Oh, and that music filled my soul
Somewhere on that freedom road
Started fighting for my own soul
Thought of Jimmy and Janis, too
Livin' fast til they were through
Then my heart began to break
Fallin' when I wanted to fly
Someone said, "Gal, slow down
You're too young, too young to die"
Even an eagle has to fall sometimes
Climbing against the wind
Even a strong heart has to break
And learn to love and heal again
All that runnin' got to me
Could I stop and still be free?
Could I break and still be whole?
Would I live to rock and roll?
Got some friends who stood by me
Tellin' me that I would survive
Said, "You're strong, you sing your song
Know you're lucky to be alive"
Still my spirit yearns to run
Chasing every star in the sky
Wild and free I'll always be
I've got someone, I've got me
I am an eagle and I have to fly
Climbing against the wind
I've had a heart that had to break
To learn to heal and love again
Even an eagle has to fall sometimes
Climbing against the wind
Even a strong heart has to break
And learn to love and heal again
Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll
Oh, and that music filled my soul
Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll
Oh, and that music filled my soul
Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll
Oh, and that music filled my soul
Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll
Oh, and that music filled my soul

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.
No Surprises
Radiohead
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
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.
