I never took you for a trip, but
Sometimes, I don't know what you want
I can take it if you need to,
Take this out on someone

That little thing with her head held so high
Talking tough, and I
Cut myself so I could feel something I
Know is not alive

That one stings a little,
I'm always in the middle
I don't expect, but try me,
And you will always find me here

This is where I scream from

Yeah, you can take it all and work it out, yes
There's a little bit of you in all this
You can say the only thing you know, yeah
Please, there's a better bit of me to see yet,
'Cause you haven't see any of my best
Know I hate myself without you now, yeah

Hurts to see, but nobody knows,
Guess that's just how it goes
And I, I won't say anything at all

I was taking on a dollar sign, anxious,
Scared of what you need
Everybody wants a piece of you,
Everyone takes a piece of me

That one stings a little,
I'm always in the middle
I don't expect, but try me,
And you will always find me here

This is where I scream from

Yeah, you can take it all and work it out, yes
There's a little bit of you in all this
You can say the only thing you know, yeah
oh, Please, there's a better bit of me to see yet,
'Cause you haven't see any of my best
Know I hate myself without you now, yeah

Hurts to see, but nobody knows,
Guess that's just how it goes
And I, I won't say anything at all

(I-I-I-Iiii)
This is the hook, take it like I took
I'm shaking like I shook before
And I'm a little better off
I'm not the only one
This is where I stopped before
And now you have a piece of me
I always slip away from
I always slip away from

I won't say anything, but

Yeah, you can take it all and work it out, yes
There's a little bit of you in all this
You can say the only thing you know, yeah
Please, there's a better bit of me to see yet,
'Cause you haven't see any of my best
Know I hate myself

Hurts to see, when nobody knows,
Guess that's just how it goes
And I, I won't say anything at all
I won't say anything at all
I won't say anything at all

    because they just came out really. and they are Canadian. like all decent bands coming from Canada, they take a while to catch attention. Their album comes out soon if it hasn't already, it'll pick up.

Show Me a Little Shame
Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals
He certainly did earn that reputation.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.
