This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Something breaks inside of you
With the spectacle of all the shows
Fifteen fights and your six bucks
Has gone up some promoter's nose
Jaded eyes see clearly, but only half of what's there
Good old days are far behind, what's left is boredom and despair
Sometimes every once in a while
Sometimes every once in a while
It's beautiful, I would say
I wouldn't have it any other way
If I said different, that would be a lie
If I said different, that would be a lie
Be a lie
What was once rebellion is now clearly just a social sect
Or are you just upset because your own social clique has left?
Leave when you want, 'cause I know that someday I will, too
But I won't burn my bridges, be just another jaded fool
Sometimes every once in a while
Sometimes every once in a while
It's beautiful, I would say
I wouldn't have it any other way
If I said different, that would be a lie
If I said different, that would be a lie
Be a lie (be a lie)
It's beautiful, I would say
I wouldn't have it any other way
If I said different, that would be a lie
If I said different, that would be a lie
With the spectacle of all the shows
Fifteen fights and your six bucks
Has gone up some promoter's nose
Jaded eyes see clearly, but only half of what's there
Good old days are far behind, what's left is boredom and despair
Sometimes every once in a while
Sometimes every once in a while
It's beautiful, I would say
I wouldn't have it any other way
If I said different, that would be a lie
If I said different, that would be a lie
Be a lie
What was once rebellion is now clearly just a social sect
Or are you just upset because your own social clique has left?
Leave when you want, 'cause I know that someday I will, too
But I won't burn my bridges, be just another jaded fool
Sometimes every once in a while
Sometimes every once in a while
It's beautiful, I would say
I wouldn't have it any other way
If I said different, that would be a lie
If I said different, that would be a lie
Be a lie (be a lie)
It's beautiful, I would say
I wouldn't have it any other way
If I said different, that would be a lie
If I said different, that would be a lie

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.
No Surprises

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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
wow. it seems back in the day the kids thought punk was dying too. i find the verse "with fifteen fights and your six bucks has gone up some promoters nose " really funny for some reason. And it's a good message they put out, no matter how sour you think the scene is getting, there's always these little moments or people that puts faith right back in there and glad that you found your refuge in the scene. It really is a beautiful thing now and then. Jesse sounds cynical about the scene, but at the same time still appreciates what it has done and what it was capable of doing to kids in the past. and even if you come and go, you'll remember the goodtimes and it wasn't ALL bad. it's true in a way. Punk rock seems to be less about outright rebellion for the sake of rebellion, but more as a clique where troubled kids who are rebelling because they are angry with life and how badly they've been treated (whether it be abuse, or not being believed in, or just being fussed over too much) would go to for some comfort. I think this song will be just as relevant ten or twenty years from now as it is today and 15 yrs back, because the scene will endure. you'll get the new punk bands who are doing this for the money and become bitches for corporations and trends, but there will always be those wanting to go back to the spirit of punk in '77 and the 80s looking for some positivity to share.
This song is just awesome...i go around at times, and it's just stuck in my head, my friend told me to listen to it, and i've loved it ever since.
This is about the punk rock scene. it talks about fights and six bucks which is symbolism for the mosh pits and how cheap the shows use to be. the second verse is about punk dying out.
its my favorite operation ivy song...
This song is what first made me love Op Ivy... it was the first I heard of them, and it's still one of my favorites.

its beautiful i would say i wouldnt have it any other way bad kicken ass song
Maybe one of the greatest punk songs ever, on one of the greatest punk albums by on of the fuckin greatest punk band! If you don't own "Energy" get off your ass and buy it!
I also think this song is about 924 GIlman. (small punk shows at gilman cost 5 bucks now, so I could be wrong.)
this song reminds me of halloween. esp. the beginnning.
has the same name as a Green Day song... no shit i know... but who made the name up?
@Green Day rules oya I think Shakespeare first coined the term, the word "jaded" means to be tired, angry and/or completely lacking enthusiasm after having way too much of something, in this case excitement, anarchy and violence.
