Interpretation of early black and white haitian love songs
Oceans wept
Mountains slept
Sidewalks crumbled to ash
Your name remains
In children's lullabies
And your eyes forever in the sky
Pull me close
Dear I'm tremblin'
Hold me tight
I'm afraid ot the night
Blackness fills the room
Your love burns bright
Oh summer winds
Remind me of your kiss
Soft and warm
I never want to leave this
I never wanted to say goodbye
I'd throw myself to the sea
If God promised you're inside
We'd float to island paradise
And I'd become your bride
The countryside looks bare
Without you lying in her grass
The stream is dry
And the crickets silent
There's no music in the night
I'd breathe my last breath
Just to mingle with your sigh
I'd become smoke
And hide in your cigarette pack
To be a star
Tossing light
To sparkle in your eyes
I'd become an angel
And kiss this earth goodbye
Destiny
Used to be
Just a word to me
But heaven sure was right
When they said Jesus left somethin' behind
Every inch of this body
I'd plate in gold for you
Even though I ain't go no money
I'd do it just to keep you
Your eyes appear
In every one of my dreams
They glitter and they gleam
Like the first time we meet
The chickens crowed
And I knowed your home
My spirit ran to greet you
Before my feet left the porch
Oceans wept
Mountains slept
Sidewalks crumbled to ash
Your name remains
In children's lullabies
And your eyes forever in the sky
Pull me close
Dear I'm tremblin'
Hold me tight
I'm afraid ot the night
Blackness fills the room
Your love burns bright
Oh summer winds
Remind me of your kiss
Soft and warm
I never want to leave this
I never wanted to say goodbye
I'd throw myself to the sea
If God promised you're inside
We'd float to island paradise
And I'd become your bride
The countryside looks bare
Without you lying in her grass
The stream is dry
And the crickets silent
There's no music in the night
I'd breathe my last breath
Just to mingle with your sigh
I'd become smoke
And hide in your cigarette pack
To be a star
Tossing light
To sparkle in your eyes
I'd become an angel
And kiss this earth goodbye
Destiny
Used to be
Just a word to me
But heaven sure was right
When they said Jesus left somethin' behind
Every inch of this body
I'd plate in gold for you
Even though I ain't go no money
I'd do it just to keep you
Your eyes appear
In every one of my dreams
They glitter and they gleam
Like the first time we meet
The chickens crowed
And I knowed your home
My spirit ran to greet you
Before my feet left the porch

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
i saw this band play with bright eyes and tilly and the wall. they are seriously so fucking amazing. the girl's voice is creepy. no other band sounds like this at all. i can't even describe it.
what are the numbers at the beginning of each verse?
Also, I don't think it's satirical at all. And it says "interpretation of early Black and White Haitian love songs" so I think they just translated ancient songs written in Haitian. And I don't think the Haitians were being sardonic either. Even if this was written by them originally, it doesn't sound like something they'd write sarcastically. Jesus Loves Me and By Your Side just drips with sarcasm... but not this.
I was introduced to them the same way. And I totally agree, they're so different from everything else, especially in concert.
i've listened to them since la maison de mon reve came out and i already have noahs ark (i got the leaked album) and they're even better on the second album (beautiful boys is my fave).
Haitian is spelled wrong, it should look as i typed it perviously.
but i do enjoy this song, so much.
(previously is spelled wrong.) :)
this song holds nothing back, that's why i love it. more elements of absolute submission to love. being in the height of emotion and not monitoring what you say or how you feel, "your eyes appear in every one of my dreams".
it's so beautiful i feel it so bad
haha, i was gonna say that justinev. i haven't heard this song but the lyrics are beautiful :)
it's much like their other songs though, in that the lyrics are highly dramatic and appear to be satirical. Especially with the mention of God, heaven and Jesus...
I'm pretty sure this is supposed to be satirical, as a lot of their music is. Especially with the mentions of God, Jesus, heaven... rather pastoral styled writing
