Life must be empty when living a lie
With something to hide and nothing to show
You have learned nothing but how to destroy
Things that friends love you couldn't leave alone

Someday it's gonna hit you between the eyes
That we're not sixteen years old anymore
One day those people that used to welcome you with open arms
Will see you coming and hide then lock the door

People that listened to you were afraid
Even friends that knew you as a kid
Now you are sorry but you'll never change
Change the things that you already did

Someday it's gonna hit you between the eyes
That the seeds have already been sown
Find your own garden because you still need space to grow
Until that time you will remain alone

Don't try to come around with your pathetic lies cause I
Can see it in your
Eyes that you will always be the same and you will never
Have to say
Goodbye it's time for truth and not for lies...
That you have always told
Your trust was bought and sold you're all alone

    He's trying to help someone stop drinking. Match my lines up with the song lines and you'll see. The days melt together on a bender, wakes up on the bathroom floor but starts drinking again The friend is powerless

    Promised to quit, never did Don't hold me back You can't stop a friends addiction just by loving them

    The friend still trys to get them to stop Can't get through to them though

    I'm not doing the whole song, but you get the idea. I might be wrong, but I like my interpertation.

    TonyBar..nice interpretation. I agree with you on just about everything.

    I wouldn't be so fast to say that this is just about drinking though...it can be any drug addiction. Although a bathroom does kind of imply that the friend is vomiting, which would be linked with drinking.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.

Blue
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.
