You say you're mama called and you must go.
She's down in the bed and needs you so.
And you don't know if you'll be coming home tonight or not.
But, honey ain't your mama sick a lot?

Lately, you're head hurts every night.
Could it be you wear your clothes too tight?
Since you don't seem to hear or see a thing I say or do,
Then I know there's nothing I can do for you.

This ain't my first rodeo.
This ain't the first time this old cowboy's been throwed.
This ain't the first I've seen this dog and pony show.
This ain't my first rodeo.

You're telling me you lost you're wedding band.
Somehow you say it slipped right off you're hand.
And when I asked about those boxes stacked there by the door.
You say it's just some old things you don't wear no more.

I didn't make it all the way through school.
But my mama didn't raise any fool.
I may not be the Einstein, of our time.
But honey, I'm not dumb and I'm not blind.

This ain't my first rodeo.
This ain't the first time this old cowboy's been throwed.
This ain't the first I've seen this dog and pony show, Honey.
This ain't my first rodeo.

This ain't my first rodeo.
This ain't the first time this old cowboy's been throwed.
This ain't the first I've seen this dog and pony show, Honey.

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
