Painted On My Heart

The Cult

I thought . . .you'd be out of my mind
And i'd finally found a way to
Learn to live without you
I thought . . .it was just a matter of time
Till I had a hundred reasons
Not to think about you

But it's just not so
and after all this time
I still can't let go

I've still got your face
Painted on my heard
Carved upon my soul
Etched upon my memory . . .baby

And I've got your kiss
Still
Burning on my lips
The touch of her fingertips
Is left so deep inside of me . . .baby

I was trying
Everything that I can
To get my heart to forget you
But it just can't seem to

I guess it's just no use
In every part of me
is still a part of you

And I've still got your face
Painted on my heart
Carved upon my soul
Etched upon my memory . . .baby

And I've got your kiss
Still
Burning on my lips
The tough of her fingertips
Is left so deep inside of me . . .baby

I've still got your face
Painted on my heart
Painted on my heart
Painted on my heart . . .baby

Something in your eyes keeps haunting
Me
I'm trying to forget you
But I know there ain't no wayto
Chase you from my mind

I've still got your face
Painted on my heart
Carved upon my soul
Etched upon my memory . . .baby

And I've got your kiss
Still
Burning on my lips
The touch of her fingertips
Is left so deep inside of me . . .baby

I've still got your face
I've still got your face
Painted on my heart
Painted on my h-e-a-are-t

Baby
Come on
Come on
Come on
Come on
Baby

Come on
Come on
Baby

Come on
Come on
Baby

On my h-e-a-are-t
I've still got your face
Painted on my heart

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.
