A one, a two, a one two three four.
Uieieieie...
Settimanalmente, ovvero suino.

Sono solo sotto la pioggia
– pioggià pioggià –
sono reduce da un meeting di rivenditori
di laminati plastici.
È duro andare di città in città
a vender laminati
senza la macchina,
e il contachilometri
che ho nella tibia
mi è testimone.

La mia carriera è stata un fallimento
– non dir così –
non è tanto la mancanza della macchina
quel che mi handicappa,
quanto la mia incapacità
a trattar con i clienti,
sbaglio i verbi;
e poi i laminati che
io rappresento
mi fanno cagare.

Vorrei un abbecedario
per imparare a vendere
i laminati.
Amico abbecedario
– amico abbecedario sì –
compagno di avventure
d’infanzia, d’infanzia, d’infa-a-a-a-a...

Laminati...
Amico abbecedario sì...
D’infanzia...

Cha CHA cha!

    This is the sad story of a travelling salesman who sells screwdrivers. His fear of cars, planes, trains and boats means he can only use his own feet to move from town to town. On top of that, he has problems conjugating verbs correctly, and for this reason he's afraid of losing the job. He also secretly hates the products he sells.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
