Free

Omnia

I don't know where I belong
I've got no place to call my home
All the people all around me
just can't see the things that I can see...

I'll find a friend, someone who'll help me understand
That life won't always be this bad
And there's no reason to be sad
Because I'm free.

(Two, three, four!)

What the fuck
Just my bloody luck!
I'm drowning in a sea of fools
Tortured by their stupid rules

I don't mind, I'll leave all that behind!
I quit my job and quit my school
And do just what I wanna do
I'm free.

I'm free...(2x)
Yes, I'm free.

Everywhere,
People point and stare
A happy freak, they think it sucks
I don't fit inside there box

No nine to five,
I just live my life!
Forever playing with my toys
I'm not like other girls and boys.

Girls and boys...(x2)
I'm not like other girls and boys!

(Chorus)
Because I'm free - ah!
I'm free!
Exactly where I wanna be - ah!
I'm free!
So please don't bother me.

I wish I could find the words
To let you know that it's okay
You don't belong inside the herd
Forever children we will play...

We will play... (2x)
Forever children we will play

(Chorus)

I'm free - Ah!
So please don't bother me.

    This song is about freedom, obviously, but the band brings the meaning of freedom closest possible to the day-to-day view. The point here is that being free brings gifts, but also has down sides. The first lines tell of a lost man, who doesn't know who he is, where he belongs and so on. I take it he is suffering, bur that isn't shown through the melody or lyrics.

    He sees himself "drawning in a sea of fools, tortured by their stupid rules", what points out there is a critic towards modern life-style, as for someone who feels free shall see it as foolish and stupid. I agree with them on this one.

    Being free requires responsability, after all, to be free you must take care of yourself and your happiness. That attitude in order to maintain freedom is what is sang next. The person will find a friend and understand that there's no reason to be sad. He won't wait around, sad.

    After that, he acquires his full freedom and starts singing about his relief and possibilities, comparing himself to the rest of the world, not judging anyone worse, or himself better, but different. He sees himself way happier now.

    Thats a song about happiness and freedom. That's omnia.

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.
