I felt alone
I put on my new shoes and hit the town
I still felt alone
I'm convinced everyone's built to be put down
I had to say (I had to say)
What I wanted to say (What I wanted to say)
I had to say
What i wanted to say
Well are you going to stay?
I felt alone
Independenece day comes when your damned
I still felt alone
Ten times I felt I almost found you
Sometimes simple chords are the best
The simple approach is the best and
It makes more sense than any other
It makes more sense than any other
I felt alone
I feel bleak, got me to the ground
I still felt alone
My attempts of chivalry fell without a sound
I felt alone
So put on your new shoes and leave this town
I still felt alone
I'm convinced everyone's built to be put down
The simple chords are the best
Sometimes simple approach is the best if
It makes more sense than any other
It makes more sense than any other

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.

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,
