Well, sad, small, sweet, so delicate
It used to be this dying breed
Well, I've got a bad feeling about this
I've got a bad feeling about this

You kept still until the long drive home
And slept safe and close to the window
Well, I've got a bad feeling about this
I've got a bad feeling about

Who's to say you'll have to go? (I could go all night)
Well, say you'll have to go (I could go all)
To hell with you and all your friends
To hell with you and all your friends, it's on

Well, sad, small, sure and porcelain
You're skin and bones, I'm a nervous wreck
Well, I've got a bad feeling about this (when it come to this)
I've got a bad feeling about this

You kept still until the long drive home
You slept safe and close to the window
Well, I've got a bad feeling about this
I've got a bad feeling about

Who's to say you'll have to go? (I could go all night)
Well, say you'll have to go (I could go all)
To hell with you and all your friends
To hell with you and all your friends, it's on

Well, I've got a bad feeling about this (what is this for?)
I've got a bad feeling about

Anyone will do tonight
Anyone will do tonight
Close your eyes, just settle, settle
Close your eyes, just settle, settle

Anyone will do tonight
Anyone will do tonight
Close your eyes, just settle, settle
Close your eyes, just settle, settle

Anyone (anyone) will do tonight
Anyone (anyone) will do tonight
Close your eyes, just settle, settle
Close your eyes, just settle, settle

Well, I've got a bad feeling about this (to hell with you and all your friends)
I've got a bad feeling about this
I'm coming over but it never was enough
I thought it through and my worst brings out the best in you

Well, I've got a bad feeling about this (to hell with you and all your friends)
I've got a bad feeling about this
I'm coming over but it never was enough
I thought it through and my worst brings out the best in you

I've got a bad feeling about this (to hell with you and all your friends)
I've got a bad feeling about this
Coming over but it never was enough
I thought it through and my worst brings out the best in you

Well, I've got a bad feeling about this
I've got a bad feeling about this
I'm coming over but it never was enough
I thought it through and my worst brings out the best in you

Well, I've got a bad feeling about this
I've got a bad feeling about this
I'm coming over but it never was enough
I thought it through and my worst brings out the best in you

I've got a bad feeling about this
I've got a bad feeling about this (I am you)
I've got a bad feeling about this (I am you)
I've got a bad feeling about this (I am you)
I've got a bad feeling about this (I am you)
I've got a bad feeling about this (I am you)
I got it bad
I got it bad
I got it bad
I got it bad
I got it bad
I got it bad

    its about a relationship with someone you know is bad for you. Someone you don't have a connection with anymore. Someone who really only shows you the parts of them that you like when you're showing the parts of you that you don't like. And you're wondering why you're even with them. You're looking at them and all you see is an echo of the past, or the distance between you. You see the other person, and its like a delicate thing you can't touch. Like a porcelain doll, or a mirage. Not someone you can be with or interact with. The voice of the song speaks from familiarity, but also talks about the total breakdown of the connection, and all that remains are bad feelings and the knowledge that no good came, or will come from the association. But you do it anyway.

    But to hear its about a long drive with your ex-gf to see some shitty concert in a shitty town for a shitty night out for all involved? I guess I could totally see how that could be the inspiration for this despair laden emopunk tune. me rikey. i got it baaaaad.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

Fortnight
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.

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.

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
