Une chauve-souris aimait un parapluie
Un grand parapluie noir découpé dans la nuit.
Par goût de désespoir, car tout glissait sur lui
Une chauve-souris aimait un parapluie
Aimait un parapluie.
Elle marchait au radar, le sommeil l'avait fuie
Elle voulait se mettre à boire, se jeter au fond d'un puits.
Une chauve-souris aimait un parapluie
Un grand parapluie noir découpé dans la nuit
Découpé dans la nuit.

Sans jamais s'émouvoir pour cette chauve-souris
Le grand parapluie noir sortait de son étui.
Il prenait sous son aile soin d'une belle-de-nuit
Qui, boulevard Saint-Marcel, le nourrissait de pluie.

Puis le grand accessoire se mit à voyager
Dans son bel habit noir, son habit noir de jais.
Après les palabres, pour faire un peu d'osier
Un avaleur de sabres le mit dans son gosier
Le mit dans son gosier.
À un acrobate, servit de balancier
Un vendeur de cravates le prit comme associé
Puis il se déplia sur une permanente
Puis il se déplia car il pleuvait sur Nantes
Car il pleuvait sur Nantes.

Une chauve-souris, demoiselle de la nuit
Une chauve-souris aimait un parapluie.
Elle vint chercher l'oubli au fond d'un vieux manoir
Où elle mourait d'ennui, pendant que le parapluie
Menait au Père-Lachaise une vie de bâton de chaise.

Un jour de mauvais temps, un jour de mauvais temps
Un brusque coup de vent lui mit les pieds devant.
On le laissa pour mort dans quelque caniveau
On le laissa pour mort avec le bec dans l'eau
Avec le bec dans l'eau.
En voyant son squelette qui faisait sa toilette
Parmi les détritus et les denrées foutues
"C'est la chance qui me sourit !" hurla la chauve-souris
"Je le croyais perdu, le manche est revenu !
Le manche est revenu !"

Riant comme une baleine, pleurant comme une madeleine
Une chauve-souris aimait un parapluie.
Ils allèrent se dire "oui" dans le grenier de la mairie
Une chauve-souris aimait un parapluie.

Une chauve-souris aimait un parapluie.
Une chauve-souris aimait un parapluie.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
