He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
You talk about life, you talk about death
And everything in between
Like it's nothing and the words are easy
You talk about me, you talk about you
And everything I do
Like it's somethin' that needs repeating
I don't need an alibi
For you to realize
The things we left unsaid
Are only taking space up in our heads
Make it my fault, win the game
Point the finger, place the blame
And toss me up and down
Doesn't matter now
'Cause I don't care if I ever talk to you again
This is not about emotion
I don't need a reason not to care
What you say, or what happened in the end
This is my interpretation
And it don't, don't make sense
The first two weeks turn into ten
I hold my breath and wonder when it'll happen
It doesn't really matter
If half of what you said is true
And half of what I didn't do could be different
Would it make you better?
If we forget the things we know
Would we have somewhere to go?
The only way is down
I can see that now
'Cause I don't care if I ever talk to you again
This is not about emotion
I don't need a reason not to care
What you say, or what happened in the end
This is my interpretation
And it don't, don't make sense
Is splitting up such a sacrifice?
If I every talk to again
This is not about emotion
I don't need a reason not to care
What you say, or what happened in the end
This is my interpretation
And it don't, don't make sense
And it don't have to make no sense to you at all
'Cause this is my interpretation
And everything in between
Like it's nothing and the words are easy
You talk about me, you talk about you
And everything I do
Like it's somethin' that needs repeating
I don't need an alibi
For you to realize
The things we left unsaid
Are only taking space up in our heads
Make it my fault, win the game
Point the finger, place the blame
And toss me up and down
Doesn't matter now
'Cause I don't care if I ever talk to you again
This is not about emotion
I don't need a reason not to care
What you say, or what happened in the end
This is my interpretation
And it don't, don't make sense
The first two weeks turn into ten
I hold my breath and wonder when it'll happen
It doesn't really matter
If half of what you said is true
And half of what I didn't do could be different
Would it make you better?
If we forget the things we know
Would we have somewhere to go?
The only way is down
I can see that now
'Cause I don't care if I ever talk to you again
This is not about emotion
I don't need a reason not to care
What you say, or what happened in the end
This is my interpretation
And it don't, don't make sense
Is splitting up such a sacrifice?
If I every talk to again
This is not about emotion
I don't need a reason not to care

And it don't, don't make sense
And it don't have to make no sense to you at all
'Cause this is my interpretation

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

@[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.
i hated this song at first but then i listened again and now i love it. is he actually gay?
it was the unspoken fact for a long time, though Mika had said in an interview in 2009 : "I've never ever labelled myself. But having said that; I've never limited my life, I've never limited who I sleep with... Call me whatever you want. Call me bisexual, if you need a term for me..."<br /> It wasn't until 2012 that he officially came out of the closet (hate that saying by the way, it makes them seem different)<br /> But in response to your question, yes he is gay
