its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Oh my girl, you're so hot, when you walk, you melt snow
And now that disco has finally grown old
Let's buy back our souls
So let's see, yeah, we've got five bucks between you and me
My mental dishes are finally clean
So cleared are we
Cut the curtains, the actors have gone home
Cut the curtains, the actors have gone home
Intermission's a mission on its own
Intermission's a mission on its own
Oh, now here, seems our wax wings have melted away
Oh, and we've only been here for one day
My faith fades away
So don't be a gray cloud when there's none in the sky
We've found there's no hidden treasure to find
At least we tried
Cut the curtains, the actors have gone home
(Cut the curtains, the actors have gone home)
Intermission's a mission on its own
(Intermission's a mission on its own)
Yeah, so cut the curtains, the actors have gone home
(Cut the curtains, the actors have gone home)
Grab your suitcase, we don't have time to fold
(Grab a suitcase) I said we don't have time to fold
There is no doubt, you throw your inbox out
I said, there is no doubt, you throw your inbox out
I said, there, there is no doubt, you throw your inbox out
There is no doubt, you throw your inbox out
There is no doubt, you throw your inbox out
There is no doubt, you throw your inbox out
There is no doubt, you throw your inbox out
There is no doubt, you throw your inbox
Cut the curtains, the actors have gone home
(Cut the curtains, the actors have gone home)
Intermission's a mission on its own
(Intermission's a mission on its own)
So cut the curtains, the actors have gone home
(Cut the curtains, the actors have gone home)
Grab your suitcase, we don't have time to fold
(Grab a suitcase), I said we don't have time to fold
We don't have no time to fold
We don't have no time to fold
We don't have no time to fold
Said, we don't have no time to fold
And now that disco has finally grown old
Let's buy back our souls
So let's see, yeah, we've got five bucks between you and me
My mental dishes are finally clean
So cleared are we
Cut the curtains, the actors have gone home
Cut the curtains, the actors have gone home

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

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.
Out of all the Billy Talent songs i've heard, this one is the worst. i wish i could like it, but i just don't.
