This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Yes, he wore a cowboy hat
Each bone broken in his back
All the money and all the gold
Couldn't buy my love at eight years old
I'm in love with a girl that's wrong for me
Ask her, she will disagree
Her father was a small town man
With small-town dreams and small-town hands but
But I was there when there was nobody home
Please, believe me when I say, I don't know
Gone for good in fact but what does it mean?
Within a year, they always sold them, but
Easy enough to just look at her
Whole world on a silver platter
Was that the path for me?
If I would set his conscience free
Won round one but it's not over
He don't care 'cause he didn't know her
Too long, it's not the same
If I could lend a hand in shame, but
I was there when there was nobody home
Please, believe me when I say, I don't know
Gone for good in fact but what does it mean?
Within a year, they always sold them, but
You'll always be
So much easier to see
Don't hide from me
That which I've already seen
You lie to me
More than occasionally
Don't lie to me, you lied to me
I'm as high as I'll ever be
I don't mind, stay and see
They've all gone, why don't we?
Lonely as you and me
But I'm as high as I'll ever be
Later on, last to see
The past is gone, only for me
I'm alive
Oh, but I was there when there was nobody home
Please, believe me when I say, I don't know
Gone for good in fact, but what does it mean?
Within a year, they always sold them, but
Oh yeah, remember when it was me
Oh yeah, driving has come down just for me
Oh, yeah, and then we'll try as we've been, oh yeah
Each bone broken in his back
All the money and all the gold
Couldn't buy my love at eight years old
I'm in love with a girl that's wrong for me
Ask her, she will disagree
Her father was a small town man
With small-town dreams and small-town hands but
But I was there when there was nobody home
Please, believe me when I say, I don't know
Gone for good in fact but what does it mean?
Within a year, they always sold them, but
Easy enough to just look at her
Whole world on a silver platter
Was that the path for me?
If I would set his conscience free
Won round one but it's not over

Too long, it's not the same
If I could lend a hand in shame, but
I was there when there was nobody home
Please, believe me when I say, I don't know
Gone for good in fact but what does it mean?

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
why the hell hasn't anyone commented on this song? i think it kicks ass...
I do too! I love the end when they sing in a high voice....very sexy:-) This song isn't so hard to interpret. It's about his dad not really being there when he grew up. And he tried to buy him off, I guess you could say that. "All the money and all the gold, couldn't buy my love at 8 years old." But anyway, they're the best fuckin band! I love every song.
every song is awesome except for fly. its crap
I'm as high as I'll ever be I don't mind, Stay and see They've all gone, Why don't we Holding hands, you and me But I'm as high as i'll ever be But later on, lies to see My past is gone, only from me I'm alive
That part just makes my heart drop. This song is awesome. It reminds me a lot of this one girl I'm currently talkin to.
currenyly talkin 2 lol u mean datin right nyways this song rocks but i tink only the 1st is about his dad the 2nd verse is about some girl who seems to be a slag basically
Let me re-elaborate this song is about chads life the first verse refers to how his father always let him down as a child and always tried to buy back his respect.
The second half of the first verse and may be the rest of the song refers to most- likely be a girlfriend whom of which he has relationship problems with but how they try to get through them anyway "and then we'll try as we've always been"
i think this song is about how hes always had to work for what he got and wasnt handd to him and this girl has had everything handed to her and she wants to be with him cuz hes a bad boy correct me if im wrong or tell me your views!
I agree to disagree with everyone. I think the lyrics posted are not 100 percent correct.
I think this song is about his father's relationship with women over the course of his childhood and him looking back on it now to an extent. I believe the main message of the song is about his relationship with his father. It sounds to me like he loved one in particular but his father didn't really know her because he stayed drunk. (likely his mom) I think he grew to envy the women his father brought home. This is where the line "Easy enough to just look at her whole world on a silver platter" comes in. He then goes on to talking about lending a hand in shame. Talking about himself because he was alive he couldn't be hidden from new women.I think toward the end he is speaking to his father. All the women are now gone because his father is old and it gets harder to pick up random women as you grow older. He is trying to put the past behind them and move forward holding hands. Because he probably now drinks to. I would have to know more about his life to say anymore. I can't tell if his father is dead or still alive. But that is my thought on this song. I don't think it has as much to do with women as it does about his relationship to his father.
Small time I think is small town
The phrase Whole world on a silver platter Was that that bad for me If I was there the scotch is free
should be Whole world on a silver platter What's that? Is that for me? If I would set his concience free.
I also think the last line is We'll never try as we bleed.
(meaning we will never try to change as we are still alive)
The last line could also be we'll never try as we breathe. Carrying the same message as bleed. I am not 100 percent sure which it is.
The other songs on the album suggest that his father was always in and out of jail etc. So it could be the opposite as I stated above. He could have lived with his mom through all of it. Then the times when his father was out of jail he could have tried to buy him things to make himself feel better for not always being around because he was in jail. His father then could have questioned him about what his mom was doing while he was in jail.
