We spend most of our lives relying on promising goodbyes
When morning comes, you'll know exactly what comes next
Silence
If you beg for wings you'll only get shot down

If I resided in clouds, would you come live with me
Float high above all the cares in the world
When it rains you close your eyes
Take a bite from the sun
Burns your heart nearly as bad as your tears

So watch me drive
Together in our finest moments, forever apart
Home with my eyes closed

Live this dream one last time
What is life with hope of tomorrow?
Live this dream one last time
What is life with no hope?

If angels landed and took me with them
Show me the heavens just to drop me to hell
We made it, and maybe it's better you never open your eyes

Live this dream one last time
What is life with hope of tomorrow?
Live this dream one last time
I died from every hope

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.
