This is a page from my diary
The fifteenth day of November
This is a page from my diary
What happened that day
I don't remember

But I do remember when
I wrote these words and then
And then reread them
Slowly to myself
Without emotion

And although the feelings changed
The words still sound the same
O Pamela
Tell everyone
Hang my head in shame
Take your name in vain
O Pamela
O Pamela
I have no soul
I'm as cold as December
Maybe twice as cold
And I'm as white as the snow
Because of my age
But my hand was shaking
As I wrote this page

And although the feelings changed
The words still sound the same
O Pamela
Tell everyone
Hang my head in shame
Take your name in vain
O Pamela
O Pamela
You have everything
Everything you bargained for
Everything you worked for
Everything you would have killed for
Take everyone
Take everything
O Pamela
O Pamela
O Pamela
O Pamela

Open the door
I'll let the rain pour in
And first thing in the morning
The telephone rings
Pamela says
"Oh, look at the time"
Believe me, that's the last thing on my mind
Will you take a walk with me in the sunshine
O Pamela, before it's too late?
Will you take a walk with me by the ocean
O Pamela, before it's too late?
Yes before it's too late

O Pamela
Tell everyone
Hang my head in shame
Take your name in vain
O Pamela
O Pamela
You have everything
Everything you bargained for
Everything you worked for
Everything you would have killed for
Killed everyone
Killed everything
O Pamela
O Pamela
O Pamela
O Pamela

    "It's based on imagined as opposed to real events. Just a way of thinking about a relationship between two fictional characters from the perspective of the one who knows time will change everything" - Caesar

    I was later told that the detail I go in, an as many of you have already gone into, is spot on. Time changes everything and in the case of this song, it did.

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.

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
