Three is a magic number
ya it is, it's a magic number
Somewhere in that ancient mystic trinity
You'll get three
As a magic number.
The past, the present, the future,
Faith, and hope, and charity,
the heart, the brain, the body,
will give you three,
it's a magic number.
It takes three legs to make a tripod or to make a table stand,
and it takes three wheels to make a vehicle called a tricycle
And every triangle has three corners,
every triangle has three sides,
no more, no less,
you don't have to guess
that it's three
can't you see?
it's a magic number.
A man and a woman had a little baby
ya they did
and there were three in the family
and that's a magic number.
3, 6, 9,
12, 15, 18,
21, 24, 27,
30.
(Now multiply backwards from 3x10!)
3x10 is 30
3x9 is 27
3x8 is 24
3x7 is 21
3x6 is 18
3x5 is 15
3x4 is 12
and 3x3 is 9
and 3x2 is 6
and 3x1 is 3 of course
(Now dig the pattern once more!)
3, 6, 9,
12, 15, 18......
oh ya!
3x10 is 30
3x9 is 27
3x8 is 24
3x7 is 21
3x6 is 18
3x5 is 15
3x4 is 12
and 3x3 is 9
and 3x2 is 6
and 3x1......
(What is it?)
3!
(Ya!)

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

@[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.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
I could've sworn I heard this on Sesame Street or a similar show while groing up. I only recently, have learned to appreciate it for what it truely is. Shannon wrote this near the time of his daughters birth. Three is the magic number: a man, a woman and their child. This is a beautiful song written out of love for his wife and child.
this is from school house rock....i totally remember seeing this one, along with conjunction junction (whats ur function?) and i'm just a bill....now i dunno if blind melon wrote it or not....but this song is great! it brings back memories of back in the day
Blind melon did not write this song. There was a thing when a bunch of bands redid school house rock songs. Another one i recall was the ne about electrcity but i forget the band. Good song but blind melon did not write it
the blind melon version of this song was in some movie, can't recall the name tho. its about cheatin in college and the older pete from "pete and pete" is in it. its a good movie, funny stuff. and it makes me happy hearin Shannon sing in it :)
whoever wrote this song was on drugs and realized how great his life was with 3 people and decided to sing about it
katestoner... hm. yeah it's from a friggin children's show. Not about drugs lol.... However, areese it is found in Never Been Kissed with Drew Barrymore. Not sure about what else it's been in. :) cute song i love it
Blind Melon do this little one justice, Hoon makes it come alive, just beautiful.
I thought it was about a threesome
