Still Knee Deep

Ten Foot Pole

Dad can you turn the TV down?
This won't take long,
I've got something to say,
don't pour a drink you've had enough,
and when I'm done I'll get out of your way,
It's time to talk about it,
We've been living in denial,
It's time to have it out,
Still knee deep in shit,
I guess I should get over it,
It seems that nothing will hide the scar,
I thought I didn't care to know that you were never there,
I guess I always felt you were so far,
I worked so hard to win your trust to earn respect,
To get you to notice me,
I won the game I won the race,
I had to be the best a room full of hollow trophies,
I guess I did it for you,
I don't think you ever noticed,
I did it all for you,
Both feet on the ground,
I wish you would calm down,
I wish you would remember just who you really are,
and I cannot forget you left me all alone,
Never bothered to pick up the phone,
I guess I'll hit the bar,
There's nothing you can say to make it go away,
There's nothing you can do I don't rely on you,
I thought that we could talk I thought I could forgive,
I thought that we could mend the fences

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
