In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Chew it all up
Turn it around
Give the meaning a twist
Spit it back out
Impulsive
Corrosive
Enticing
Confusing
Abusive
Elusive
Provoking and amusing
Everything else is completely inane,
Profoundly profane and it drives me insane!
KMFDM, what do you know?
Don't blow your top now, here we go.
KMFDM, what's the deal?
You're so naive come on, get real!
Mangled and ground decomposed and destroyed,
Whatever was found, we invented the sound.
Prepared to order, cooked to perfection,
According to taste, no dissatisfaction.
Everything else is completely inane,
Profoundly profane and it drives me insane!
KMFDM for what your money can buy,
Leave your angst behind and fly sky high!
KMFDM, make your choice,
Celebrate chaos get into the noise!
KMFDM, nihilistic and free
U.A.I.O.E. for you and me.
Help us, save us, take us away,
KMFDM, make my day!
"German engineering, astounding ingenuity,
Over a decade of conceptual continuity."
KMFDM, a constant intrusion.
It poisons your blood - you need an infusion!
KMFDM, What's the story,
Sex on the flag, spit and glory
KMFDM can't suck hard enough
Have a little more, you just love that stuff!
KMFDM!
KMFDM!
KMFDM!
KMFDM, make your choice,
celebrate chaos, get into the noise!
Everything else is completely inane,
Profoundly profane, and it drives me insane!

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.
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
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.
THis song is great! XTORT Rocks. Anyways it is just KMFDM singing about themselves and all pretty much all the songs and albums they've done up to then
