If I only had an ocean to compliment the sky
I'd pull it down
And paint it for you
And I'd never question why
'Cause red would mean you loved me
And blue would mean you cared
But black my heart when left alone
To cold and killing stares.
This is the burning of a dream.

The sound now turns to silence
But ill keep spinning around
Naked in the rain of my own tears
As they fall into the
Bucket of your apologies
While closing everyone else's eyes
Because your own are shut
Not to see the volume rise again.

Feels like I'm waiting in the last hiding place on earth
Hangman's noose tight round my neck
But I'm saved and
For 100,000 memories
Been washed ashore
Be swept again by forever
And sailed away from you.

The sound now turns to silence
But I'll keep spinning around
Naked in the rain of my own tears
As they fall into the
Bucket of your apologies
While closing everyone else's eyes
Because your own are shut
Not to see the volume rise again.

Only you could row my boat ashore
If only you could set my fears at rest
But until lack of sympathies regress
I'm still waiting, I'm still waiting
For your call.

The sound now turns to silence
But I'll keep spinning around
Naked in the rain of my own tears
As they fall into the
Bucket of your apologies
While closing everyone else's eyes
Because your own are shut
Not to see the volume rise again.

    The new album is awesome! One of the best things to come out of emo. Further Seems Forever is becoming one of the best...lets just hope they don't wind up on Krock or TRL like Chris...I think the Sounds about how things were great in a relationship but they've now "turned to silence" and he knows things will never back to how they were.

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.
