This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Let's walk on by, this time, this time
Let's keep it right, just like it used to be
It's such a long and wasted ride
When you're on your own, when you're all alone
I throw a word in for the real men
Hey driver man, hey cardboard man
On a cardboard scene you know it's never make-believe
Now, do you believe in me?
And freedom's only what they strip away from you
You fight back
But what you gain is nothing like it
Let's walk on by
It's a mellow song and I mean it well
So don't you trample me down!
Cause it took a lot of nerve
For me to try and come across
Let's do it, let's do it right
I tried, I tried so hard I could only fail
Let's do it, let's do it right
Right now, right now
And don't you ever walk away from me
I'm gonna need you round for the rebound
I search myself for sheets of paper
Some little stain, some little stain
And this is all conclusive evidence
Everybody rise, I rest my case
Let's walk on by
It's a mellow song and I mean it well
So don't you trample me down!
Cause it took a lot of nerve
For me to try and come across
Let's do it, let's do it right
I tried, I tried so hard I could only fail
Let's do it, let's do it right
Right now, right now
I find it hard being strong these days
I find it very hard, hard
And even harder in the night-time
When all these clouds come down
I find I'm very, very, hard to define
I could not be electric animal's, front-man
All distorted, all noise
And this is never, ever, my familiar voice
Let's walk on by
It's a mellow song and I mean it well
So don't you trample me down!
Cause it took a lot of nerve
For me to try and come across
Let's do it, let's do it right
I tried, I tried so hard I could only fail
Let's do it, let's do it right
Let's keep it right, just like it used to be
It's such a long and wasted ride
When you're on your own, when you're all alone
I throw a word in for the real men
Hey driver man, hey cardboard man
On a cardboard scene you know it's never make-believe
Now, do you believe in me?
And freedom's only what they strip away from you
You fight back
But what you gain is nothing like it
Let's walk on by
It's a mellow song and I mean it well
So don't you trample me down!
Cause it took a lot of nerve
For me to try and come across
Let's do it, let's do it right
I tried, I tried so hard I could only fail
Let's do it, let's do it right
Right now, right now
And don't you ever walk away from me
I'm gonna need you round for the rebound
I search myself for sheets of paper
Some little stain, some little stain
And this is all conclusive evidence
Everybody rise, I rest my case
Let's walk on by
It's a mellow song and I mean it well
So don't you trample me down!
Cause it took a lot of nerve
For me to try and come across
Let's do it, let's do it right
I tried, I tried so hard I could only fail
Let's do it, let's do it right
Right now, right now
I find it hard being strong these days
I find it very hard, hard
And even harder in the night-time
When all these clouds come down
I find I'm very, very, hard to define
I could not be electric animal's, front-man
All distorted, all noise
And this is never, ever, my familiar voice
Let's walk on by
It's a mellow song and I mean it well
So don't you trample me down!
Cause it took a lot of nerve
For me to try and come across
Let's do it, let's do it right
I tried, I tried so hard I could only fail
Let's do it, let's do it right

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
madrugada OMG, and i dont believe in god.
An ex lover returns suggesting that they should be together again "just like it used to be" he's considering that cause its a long time since he's alone, and the part about "freedom's only what they strip away from you..you fight back but what you gain is nothing like it" is about meeting that special someone that you need so much and want in your life but after he/she is gone you feel like that person took away your freedom cause you dont want to love again..you dont want to be free anymore, but you are..you just dont feel free..you feel attached to that person like you're meant for each other..thats the worse thing that can happen to anyone. so later he says.."dont you trample me down cause it took a lot of nerve for me to try and come across" he don't want to try again..even if he wants to..the pain is still there, and he remembers all the trying to make it right..and the big fat failure in the end. (i tried so hard i could only fail -genius-)
