Once you get closer in too deep
Where there is something I wish for, I'll go through
Want to get closer into you
No hell to discover
I've got it all inside myself
Salvation you have breached a scar
Nothing can turn it around

Looking for a higher ground (higher)
Searching for something I missed before (searchin' for)
From a higher ground (higher)
Will I fall in the right direction? (searchin' for)

Falling apart has nothing real
Devil can be sweet to change what I'll go through
Want to get closer into you
No hell to discover
There is just nothing to betray
Salvation you have bridged a scar
Knowing can turn it around

[Repeat: x3]
Looking for a higher ground (higher)
Searching for something missed before (searchin' for)
From a higher ground (higher)
Will I fall in the right direction? (searchin' for)

Looking for a higher ground (higher)
Searching for something missed before (searchin' for)
From a higher ground (higher)
Will I fall down into your arms?

    I am a Christian and im torn inside because i love the song but i hate the lyrics. It says Salvation you have preached is gone No way, you can’t turn it around. That is an absolute lie because no matter what we have done, are doing, or will do in the future. Jesus made it right the moment he died on the cross. And as for religion making war. Yes, IT does but that is nothing we preach. We has Christians are called to Love Our enemies. You have problems with Christians when they dont obey the Bible.

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,

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.
