Stumbling at your feet or caught in defeat
Trapped in your fantasy built from conceit
A clone of your seed but not of your mind
Your cruel authority being unkind

It's a glimpse of your past and a life you never had
And caught in your jealousy you take it all back
So take it all away all the dignity left
Send me away on a carpet of guilt
Escape from mistake you thought it wouldn't last
My mistakes bring back your past
Torn limb from limb and your closest of kin
Your mistakes clear my mind from sin

Stumbling at your feet or caught in defeat
Trapped in your fantasy built from conceit
A clone of your seed but not of your mind
Your cruel authority being unkind

So seduction of my thoughts and taped up shreds
Then ripped to pieces the thoughts are dead
A waste of a mind so highly filled
Replace it with another and everything is cleared
A ripple in the mind is a ripple in time
Everything falls at the end of the line
Traveling through time is a horrible crime
Hold on to what you have and everything is fine

Have you ever met someone and you hoped that it would last
And every time you saw her you said this is your last chance
Have you ever wished for something that you know is right
But just making it happen is such a hard fight
Have you ever seen help needed so you gave it a try
But all she ever said was that you just lie
Have you ever seen something & you thought that it would last
But all he ever said was that she was in the past

So seduction of my thoughts and taped up shreds
Then ripped to pieces the thoughts are dead
A waste of a mind so highly filled
Replace it with another and everything is cleared
A ripple in the mind is a ripple in time
Everything falls at the end of the line
Traveling through time is a horrible crime
Hold on to what you have and everything is fine

An eye for an eye or a tooth for a tooth
Revenge takes over there's nothing left to do
A rose for a lover a lover turns to two
Jealousy and anger have stricken you so soon

So have you ever met someone & you hoped that it would last
And every time you saw her you said this is your last chance
Have you ever wished for something that you know is right
But just making it happen is such a hard fight
Have you ever seen help needed so you gave it a try
But all she ever said was that you just lie
Have you ever seen something & you thought that it would last
But all he ever said was that she was in the past

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.

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.
