Someday I'll find a way to say
"Maybe it's the way you hold your head"
It's the look that's on my face

It's not the lack of a better word
That if it's we both would say
We're just acquaintances
That's how we'll stay

Maybe I'd be happier if I didn't think this way
I'm lonely now I guess that's fine with me
If I was happier would I think this way
I'm lonely now and it's okay

Let the closet keep its secrets
Let the guilty have regrets
And let the parents have their sins
And let the children pay for them

And I'm sure we'll all pray
Human defect it stay the same
Wash the blood from all our hands

Now I'll let my neighbors see my closet
It's no secret anymore

Maybe I'd be happier if I didn't think this way
Maybe I'd be happier if I didn't think this way
Maybe I'd be happier if I didn't think this way
Maybe I'd be happier if I didn't think this way

Disappointment comes so easily to me
I'm nothing, it's no secret anymore

    My Interpretation

    It's a song about a man thinking that if he was less cynical about what was around him, he would be happier.

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
