i opened up the door and then i walked into the bar.
through the smoky dim-lit haze, i saw him from afar.
moved a little closer just to get a better view.
he looked at me and smiled and said, "i'm the one for you."

we've heard one too many over used pick up lines.
give us some credit, we're not sleazy, dumb, or blind.

saw another guy right then, his suit was tailor-made.
unfortunately so were his lines much to my dismay.
thought he had me pegged, tried to impress me with his cash.
"you'd look great on my yacht," was the best line that he had.

we've heard one too many over used pick up lines.
give us some credit, we're not sleazy, dumb, or blind.

over in the corner i saw this one all alone.
looked like Mr. Natural, the kind you would take home.
at least until he opened his mouth, "hey babe, what's your sign?"

we've heard one too many over used pick up lines.
give us some credit, we're not sleazy, dumb, or blind.

got fed up, decided to leave after one last drink.
felt a tap on my left shoulder and started to think...
i can't take this anymore, what will this line be?
that's when he let his line fly, "hi, my name is Steve."

where have you been all of my life, sweet thing?
can i buy you a drink, marry you, anything?

we've heard one too many over used pick up lines.
give us some credit, we're not sleazy, dumb, or blind.

    "Hi, my name is Steve." That must be the best pickup line ever... too bad my name's not Steve.

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
