This is the anthem of the year
And I’m fucking gold.
They say what you wanna hear
and I know I’ll never die old
This is the anthem of the year
And I … I … I …

I want you to wait.
I want you to see.
I want you to notice
All that’ll never be.

Seen signs do you taste it?
Unlike most anything.
Seen signs, you have no place in this world.

This is the anthem of the year
And I’m fucking gold.
They say what you wanna hear
and I know I’ll never die old

Burn your bridges, we call.
Burn your bridges, we shout.
Your fire is burning out.

Seen signs do you taste it?
Unlike most anything.
Seen signs, you have no place in this world.

You had it but you lost it to play it safe
And we set it.
You’d take the wrong road if it was the easy way.
Got to get it.
You’d sooner be forgotten than die with grace
And we set it.
So no one listens when you say what you say.
Got to get it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You’re part of the show.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We set it to blow.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

This is the anthem of the year
And I’m fucking gold.
They say what you wanna hear
and I know I’ll never die old
This is the anthem of the year
And I’m fucking gold.
They say what you wanna hear
and now I … I …

We set it,
We set it ablaze.
It’s too far along and it’s wrong to change ways.
We set it,
We set it ablaze.
It’s too far gone to be home anyways.

You had it but you lost it to play it safe
And we set it.
You’d take the wrong road if it was the easy way.
Got to get it.
You’d sooner be forgotten than die with grace
And we set it.
So no one listens when you say what you say.
Got to get it.

This is the anthem
Burn out, die young.
This is the anthem
Burn out, die young.
This is the anthem
Burn out, die young.
This is the anthem
Burn out, die young.

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
