PHANTOM
Night time sharpens
Heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defenses...
Slowly, gently
Night unfurls its splendor
Grasp it, sense it
Tremulous and tender
Turn your face away
From the garish light of day
Turn your thoughts away
From cold unfeeling light
And listen to the music of the night
Close your eyes and surrender
To your darkest dreams
Purge your thoughts of the life
You knew before
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar!
And you'll live as you've never lived before...
Softly, deftly
Music shall surround you
Feel it, hear it
Closing in around you
Open up your mind
Let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the music of the night
Let your mind start a journey
Through a strange new world
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
Let your soul take you where you long to be!
Only then can you belong to me...
Floating, falling
Sweet intoxication
Touch me, trust me
Savor each sensation
Let the dream begin
Let your darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write -
The power of the music of the night...
Night time sharpens
Heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defenses...
Slowly, gently
Night unfurls its splendor
Grasp it, sense it
Tremulous and tender
Turn your face away
From the garish light of day
Turn your thoughts away
From cold unfeeling light
And listen to the music of the night
Close your eyes and surrender
To your darkest dreams
Purge your thoughts of the life
You knew before
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar!
And you'll live as you've never lived before...
Softly, deftly
Music shall surround you
Feel it, hear it
Closing in around you
Open up your mind
Let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the music of the night
Let your mind start a journey
Through a strange new world
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
Let your soul take you where you long to be!
Only then can you belong to me...
Floating, falling
Sweet intoxication
Touch me, trust me
Savor each sensation
Let the dream begin
Let your darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write -
The power of the music of the night...

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
In English Class we were made to compare this song to a short story we read. In the story a girl has to decide between two fates she has, basically of "good" and "evil" (to put it blatantly). This is a song a temptation, passion, lust and seduction. It is also very calming to listen to... you sort of fall into a trance just listening to the beautiful lyrics and sweet melody.
I agree that this beautiful song is meant to be a call to the heroine, a temptation. A seduction, not only of the physical sort, but also a seduction of the mind. I think that the choice to be made is a... lifestyle choice, essentially.
The song is meant to be an appeal to Christine's imagination, to turn away from one's practical side and give into the impractical, the dark, the beautiful/ugly. To live outside the boundaries of the (every)day. A call to the artist(?)inside.
The eventual showdown between the Phantom and Raoul (in addition to the surface action) represents a real struggle for Christine's psyche, to give herself entirely to the shadowy world of the artist/performer; or to live the traditional, private role as an upper-class wife of that era.
When Christine makes her final decision to flee the opera house with Raoul, we are left with the impression that she's left a part of herself behind, the diva/prima donna that she might have been. I personally get the impression that she will never perform professionally again.
This is a song of passion and love that reaches the soul and vibrates with life. This song symbolizes perverse love found in desperation and passion and sorrow. Of course, you may need to know the whole story to see this.
I love this musical. Of course, this song is the Phantom trying to get Christine to give her mind to him, but for me, a night owl, it is also a bit of an ode to night-time. It's about seeing the beauty in darkness, about the splendour and the imaginativeness of night, It's contrast to garish daylight, and it's profound connection with music. To me, music sounds more beautiful in the darkness, because when you cannot see as well, you are truly immersed in the music. This song is beautiful to me because it epitomises everything I love about the night. I totally would have gone with the Phantom. Raoul was okay, but he lacked depth.
