I can feel you breathing
And you're sticking to my skin
Someone shut the morning up
My conscience creeps back in

I don't hear the words you say
When you just come around
I don't hear the words you say
I just see you lie

There's one thing that I should remember
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There's one thing that I should remember
There's a light at the end of the tunnel

Buggered by a priest
When you were seven years of age
The age of understanding
Came with blood and semen stains

[Incomprehensible] in politics
Has handed back yourself
Is there anything as disgraceful I can see again?

There's one thing that I should remember
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There's one thing that I should remember
There is a light at the end of the tunnel

How did we get from the blue lamp disco
To cracking up in San Francisco?
I look at myself in a sober light
I'm not Elvis but I'm alright

I can feel you breathing
When you tear me from within
Unhinged and unraveled
As you rip my fucking skin

I can put my head back on
But it's the wrong way round
Feeling up the ladder
You won't get back down

There's one thing that I should remember
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There's one thing that I should remember
There is a light at the end of the tunnel

There's one thing that I should remember
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There's one thing that I should remember
There is a light at the end of the tunnel

There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There is a light at the end of the tunnel

There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There is a light at the end of the tunnel

There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
There is a light at the end of the tunnel
...

    Am I the only one who thinks a few aspects of this may be semi-autobiographical? Particularly the 'How did we get from the blue lamp disco/to cracking up in San Francisco/I look at myself in a sober light/I'm not Elvis but I'm alright' bit. This was written when the group were at the peak of their fame, but also cracking up, and the band were referred to as 'the Evil Elvises' a fair bit...

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Plastic Bag
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.
