Listen ends again into the desert street,
A strange kind of violence
And like a legend creeping down the alleyways,
It waves a hand to silence
All though we're not aware, there is a presence there
Until we hear them teasing
Spitting curses, verses from the sacred books of long forgotten reason
Silken suits, the clicks of heels,
The midnight hour long decayed
The spirit moves till busker plays
Till he wishes he could never played
But the street wise listen
While the wet roads glisten
Don't know what you're missing

I wouldn't carry you through this tonight
But the melody's here and the beats are all right
And though there's a risk from the street hood,
In the mist of the rain we can feel good
All though we're not aware,
There is a presence there,
Until we see teasing
Stealing time in motor grime working like a lamp through the vampire season

Heaven, soothe, power versus dancers in to a groove
Moves through the inner sun with shinning proof
You've carried all the blessing you can see
That you were getting what you fear
Love lies close to all the hate you could've reared
Blue skies always under cloud that disappears
You've died too, but wrong thing, hear the song bring proof
Under life's wing, many cycling truth

A lover's fight, the blues patrol,
She tries to keep the cash she made
Out on the streets since twilight,
Now she's wishing that she never stayed
But the street wise listen
While the wet roads glisten
Don't know what you're missing

Boys from the bar spilling out
Climbs into the car without a shadow of a doubt
Boys hit a drunk on the street,
Passenger screams as he flies from the seat
Lives in a tangle or worse,
Lift from the pipe of the night in a hearse
Lives in a gamble or more,
A lift from the plain day
A lift from the plain day

And the truth will set you free
From the broken lamp lying at the corner of a memory
Treasures to be found
Yes this is your town [Repeat x2]
I guess this is your town
Yes this is your town

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.

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.

He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
