i say hello to the summertime
and you may think i'm doing fine but i don't know
it used to always make me laugh
but now i'll sign an autograph
to the way things used to be

oh and i wait for you
hold my hand cause i've got a ways to go
oh but i can't stand to go on like this so long

now i can plainly see
the way the conflict used to be
neverending
i always thought that in this case
to keep a smile on my face
though that's not how i feel

oh and i wait for you
just don't let me down
I've always faced the truth
oh now why can't i just ignore what i've found

i often ride the choppy waves of change
but the reward i know is much more great

don't want to give up
i cannot give in

i must maintain my faithfulness
i've seen the darkness
and it's consuming
i cannot bring him back to then
i must maintain my faithfulness

    Dave's explanation for this song is as follows:

    "This song is about me trying to cope with my dad's affairs. I try to cover it up but it makes it worse. I think about the past; when my dad used to live for God. It makes things easier to deal with. Instead of letting his sin weigh me down, I go to God in prayer and he gives me peace. He says, "Let go and let me work on your dad." I must be faithful to God."

    Its a great message for anyone dealing with a loved one who they've felt has betrayed them. Don't let it compromise your walk with you Lord and Savior.

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.
