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.
You sink your teeth in.
Bite the blood that drains the life inside of me and fills your soul eith love and hate and all those things you need to breathe.
My body dies, but still my soul remains eternally in search of Caspian waves and shallow graves.
Explain,why me?
This nightmare won't last long.
Are you scared?
So sing this song.
I'm right there by your side.
Tonight we've got a chance.
I watched the sky bleed grey with see-through shades of violent, bloody stains and felt the evil prime and wicked start a course straight through my veins.
I'm so alive, my skin so cold and fake.
I close my eyes,
I know that now's the time to take my chance with death and realize.
Sunrise, sunset, will you wash away the rain?
Sunrise, sunset can you wash away the pain?
This nightmare won't last long.
Are you scared?
So sing this song.
I'm right there by your side.
Tonight we've got a chance.
This nightmare won't last long.
Are you scared?
So sing this song.
I'm right there by your side.
Tonight we've got a chance.
So mute and beautiful to me,
a promise kept on high,
an angelic look at life through open eyes.
Don't be scared, we'll make it work.
We're right on time, don't make things worse.
Now I'm right there by your side.
(Sunrise) I will avenge.
(Sunset) I can't pretend.
(Sunrise) I won't forget this vain.
(Sunset) attempt and promise kept.
Just one more night to make up for the loss of love and time.
Here comes the sun to rid this world of see-through blood and swollen light.
Sunrise, sunset, will you wash away the rain? Sunrise, sunset, can you wash away the pain?
This nightmare won't last long.
Are you scared?
So sing this song.
I'm right there by your side.
Tonight we've got a chance.
This nightmare won't last long.
Are you scared?
So sing this song.
I'm right there by your side.
Tonight we've got a chance.
The last sunrise.
Bite the blood that drains the life inside of me and fills your soul eith love and hate and all those things you need to breathe.
My body dies, but still my soul remains eternally in search of Caspian waves and shallow graves.
Explain,why me?
This nightmare won't last long.

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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
not gonna lie,not nearly as good as the real version
I this version is waaaaay better than the original
Music wise yes its better but for some reason the first one has more emotion in it
i agree. this version is trippy. different but the same IN A WAY. i like how it sounds all industrial.
indeed it does sound industrial, and harder, and trippy, but i like the first one alot better cus it seems to have more meaning when im listening to it
