I've lost my voice
I've said all I have to say
You're thick as porcelain
As clear as cellophane.
I miss the nervous shake
And miss the way it hurt
The way it killed to think that I had You first...
I had you first

So then I force a smile
I take the stage
Now my knees are weak try to concentrate
I'm loosing air with every single breathe that I take..
I look into your eyes
See the chemicals, you're the whitest white
You've become a ghost
You're dead to me so why can't I let you go?

The phone is like a knife
I drive into my ear
I had a love affair
With distance and with fear
The bus is like a hearse
Driving me from her
She's as black as white
She the perfect curse
She's the perfect curse

Chorus

And if the walls had eyes, we would never lie, you could come down on me.

And if you saved my life, how could I survive, you're the one that made me

this way

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.

Blue
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.
