Lights they wash your face
Pale and misty white
Color flowers
Your eyes seem ever changing
In my mind
Colors bleed to red
As I kiss your face
Want to tell you
I love you
Everyday as we grow
Yes I know now it's all on my own
Can you feel my pain
As you walk on by
Can you tell me you need me
Every time
All alone
Yes I'll show you things never seen before
For your mind to untangle
On your own all alone
Yes I know now
Yes I know now
It's all on my own
Yes I know now
I'll watch as you go
Yes I know now
It's alright
And I know now
Yes I know now
It's all on my own
As you blossom everyday
Yes I know now
Yes I know now
It's all on my own
As you blossom everyday
I don't feel my heart
It's burning up
I don't fear my eyes are turning red
I don't feel my arms are breaking up
I don't feel you slipping from my hands
And I know now
Yes I know now
It's all on my own
As you blossom everyday
Yes I know now
It's all on my own
As you blossom everyday
Now I know
Yes I know now
It's all on my own
As you blossom everyday

    My Interpretation

    He lives his life with a good sense of morality and principle, and he knows this. She doesn't so much but he loves her and wants to help her. He tries to heavy-hand her to live in a better way in forgoing her inferior characteristics in order to live a better life. But this only serves to push her away from him.

    He begins to see that he can't make someone do anything - even if they know that they're not living in the right way. He sees that the control he thought he had to change the situation was only an illusion - he has no direct control over how she chooses to live her life.

    As her protector the best way to teach her is to show her rather than being obvious about it. And so he allows her to go free - he sets her free. But she doesn't really want to be free, she has, like everybody does, a need to make these decisions herself - he stops berating her and just by being his own good self, she begins to take on those same characteristics through him.

    The song is about positioning oneself to distribute the gained knowledge we have earned through maturity into our subordinates solely based on our own behavior and actions, rather than preaching about what is right or wrong. It's about being both a mentor and a student at the same time.

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

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.
