This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Another Wake,
Another Time,
A Premature Goodbye.
I've watched you go and seen you pass,
I always knew it wouldn't last.
Together now we mourn the loss, and remember all the fun.
We'll Drink the beer and hang out where death took another son.
So all for one and one for all, do we ever wonder why.
Though the reasons clear, this friend so dear was taken before his time.
[Chorus]
So may this round be on the corpse of a dead man,
With a toast that tells of a love you never shared.
So as we dance on the grave of the misbehaved
Raise your glass!
And sing the praise of a fallen soul.
Many bow their heads for this man they know so well,
With solemn thoughts they'll drink and drug for a resurrection.
(Facing death we fear no danger)
While Mothers shed their tears through a Vail of desperation
These fiends of a vicious breed raise holy hell.
[Chorus]
How many times can fate be changed,
The dice be rolled is there no path of least resistance,
For the bold (It's never sought and rarely taken)
[Chorus]
Many bow their heads for this man they know so well,
With solemn thoughts they'll drink and drug for a resurrection.
(Facing death we fear no danger)
While Mothers shed their tears through a Vail of desperation
These fiends of a vicious breed raise holy hell.
[Chorus]

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
when friends die....
this is the best DKM song in my opinion....Raise your glass! And sing the praise of a fallen soul.
yes this is one of the first of their songs i heard, and i still love it, just a great, jumping around type song..wahoo
Yeah, this song is about losing a friend to alcohol or drugs and then everyone just mourns and then goes back to drinking their beer and living there life like they always did before the person's death.
Love this song..It's lyrics and rythm and everything about it.
It's just about untimely death...there's nothing in the song that even alludes to the death being related to drugs or alcohol.
i had a friend who died last year and everytime i hear this song i cry because it makes me think of him. also one of the first murphys songs i heard. and the person who left a message before me is right it doesnt even mentiont hat this person died due to drugs and alcohol. and it certainly doesnt say that they go back to just drinking beer and living life as it is after their death. if anyhtin it says that they remember them by drinking. seen the murphys 7 times now and they get better every time.
I did a presentation on this song for my English class a few years ago and this is what I got.
"So may this round be on the corpse of a dead man." Literal meaning- Round of drinks on his corpse. Non-literal- A toast to him for his life.
"These fiends of vicious breed raise holy hell." Literal meaning- the little devils are causing a lot of trouble. Non-literal meaning- the person's friends are mourning through the means of sin.
"Love him now he lives no longer" -It's a huge contradiction to the third stanza "this friend so dear..."
"But you never tell the tales [...] On this friend who never found his..." They aren't mentioning the things they did (or didn't do) that caused him to become a "fallen soul." (2nd stanza, last line)
This song is basically about how friends can be superficial by pretending that they care when they are around other people, but when they are alone, they don't care.
JewelBlueIbanez got it totally wrong. They do care about their friend, they just aren't going to let their his death get in the way of life. It's less about mourning and being solemn ("While Mothers shed their tears through a vail of desperation...") and more about celebrating the time they had with him by doing what they did best together: Drink and have a good time ("...these fiends of a vicious breed raise holy hell"). "These fiends" refers to the singer and his friends.
The chorus is in regards to the unspoken love men share between one another. No guy ever says they love another guy, it's an unspoken kinship ("...with a toast that tells of a love you never shared"). When they talk about "may this round be on the corpse of a dead man" they're saying that the dead guy is going to pay for their drinks, because they know the dead guy isn't going to protest. It's a joke.
I hope my brothers play this song at my death and mosh on my grave.
