This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I will break into your thoughts
With what's written on my heart
I will break
Break
I'm so sick
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss
Selfishness
I'm so sick
I'm so sick
If you want more of this
We can push out, sell out, die out
So you'll (shut up, shut up, shut up)
And stay sleeping
With my screaming in your itching ears
I'm so sick
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss
Selfishness
I'm so sick
I'm so sick
Hear it, I'm screaming it
You're heeding to it now
Hear it, I'm screaming it
You tremble at this sound
You sink into my clothes
This invasion
Makes me feel
Worthless, hopeless, sick
I'm so sick
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss
Selfishness
I'm so, I'm so sick
I'm so sick
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss
Selfishness
I'm so (I'm so)
I'm so sick (I'm so sick)
I'm so (I'm so)
I'm so sick (I'm so sick)
With what's written on my heart
I will break
Break
I'm so sick
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss
Selfishness
I'm so sick
I'm so sick
If you want more of this
We can push out, sell out, die out
So you'll (shut up, shut up, shut up)
And stay sleeping
With my screaming in your itching ears
I'm so sick
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss
Selfishness
I'm so sick
I'm so sick
Hear it, I'm screaming it
You're heeding to it now
Hear it, I'm screaming it
You tremble at this sound
You sink into my clothes
This invasion
Makes me feel
Worthless, hopeless, sick
I'm so sick
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss
Selfishness
I'm so, I'm so sick
I'm so sick
Infected with where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss
Selfishness
I'm so (I'm so)
I'm so sick (I'm so sick)
I'm so (I'm so)
I'm so sick (I'm so sick)

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.
Gentle Hour

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
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.
I was surprised to see only one or two comments on this song that mentioned anything to do with abuse or rape.
"You sink into my clothes This invasion makes me feel Worthless, hopeless, sick"
This verse clearly indicates she had been abused - the word "invasion" is a big clue. The emotions she lists afterwards are usual symptoms of rape victims, as well.
The chorus: I'm so sick, infected with Where I live Let me live without this Empty bliss, selfishness I'm so, I'm so sick
The chorus indicates that the abuser was close to home, which made the writer feel even more violated. She beings to feel "infected" because she is being abused in a place that is supposed to bring her security and comfort. The author feels out of place and extremely lost.
The line "Let me live without this" indicates two things about the writer: one, her inferiority to her abuser, pleading for him to end the horror; two, her longing for what she now views as a better and happier life.
The line "You broke into my faith" is an amazing way of the writer saying that her abuser came between her and something greater: her relationship with God. She feels as if she is being tested, or maybe even betrayed, by the God she felt would shelter her from such torture.
Luckily, the writer had it right: she viewed the experience, no matter how devastated and violated she felt, as a test from God. She felt if she overcame this, the experience would result in a stronger relationship and greater faith in God.
I honestly had no idea who this band was before several hours ago. So I had no idea they were a Christian rock group until I came on to this site and analyzed the lyrics. It's amazing stuff.. I'm definitely not going to stop listening to Flyleaf now that I found out what they are all about. It's actually refreshing to hear a band sing about something so compelling, besides drug addiction or heroine. (Although those are great too.)
The girl's voice gives me chills in every song on this CD. The review I read basically said they rocked hard ("with the rock hardship of Audioslave and the rock melody of Incubus"). Anyway, I'm rambling. I hoped this helped..
Yes...I think that's exactly what Lacey means. And knowing the kind of childhood she had...it wouldn't surprise me at all. What an understanding song, right?
