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.
Babe
Come in from the cold
Put that coat to rest
Step inside
Take a deep breath
And do what you do best
Yea
Kick off them shoes
And leave those city streets
I do believe
Love came our way
Fate did arrange
For us to meet
Refrain
I love when you do
That hocus pocus to me
The way that you touch
You've got the power to heal
You give me that look
It's almost unreal
It's almost unreal
Hey
We can't stop the rain
Let's find a place by the fire
Sometimes I feel
Strange as it seems
You've been in my dreams
All my life
It's a crazy world out there
Let's hope our prayers
Are in good hands tonight
Come in from the cold
Put that coat to rest
Step inside
Take a deep breath
And do what you do best
Yea
Kick off them shoes
And leave those city streets
I do believe
Love came our way
Fate did arrange
For us to meet
Refrain
I love when you do
That hocus pocus to me
The way that you touch
You've got the power to heal
You give me that look
It's almost unreal
It's almost unreal
Hey
We can't stop the rain
Let's find a place by the fire
Sometimes I feel
Strange as it seems
You've been in my dreams
All my life
It's a crazy world out there
Let's hope our prayers
Are in good hands tonight

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

Hayalperest
Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
Haha, I remember this one from the Super Mario Bros movie.
Very good song.
I think this song is the magic you feel when your in love. When the person protects you, cares for you & is someone who makes you feel better about yourself just by being around them. It's the 'almost unreal' feeling.
This is probably my fave Roxette track, its got a great chorus. Listen to it and let it captivate you!
This is a great song from a great band. I love the part where Per sings It's a crazy world out there. Let's hope our prayers are in good hands tonight.
I love this song. I'm a big fan of Roxette and it's one of the best by them by far. It's one of them songs that makes you think about the person you love and cherish, how they can make you feel complete and protected. Beautiful:)
Aaw listening to Roxette again brings me back to my childhood!
Roxette still rule, wish they'd make a combat.
Three years after the last post - I heard they will... :) <br /> Yeay yeay yeay!
