...And I woke up in a blur and was tied up,
Hurt,
Adrenaline scorching inside,
As it raced through my veins
I was coughing up blood
The worst part was that I had no recollection whatsoever of what, or who brought me here
And why
But before I could make any sense of this situation, I heard it all loudly and clearly;
"I resent your vile existence!
I truly despise what I've designed and you're a major factor in that, kid."
I saw an elder man, or the reflection of my future self.
That's when it all came back to me;
The bar, the magnum, the shots of J.D...
Perdition's rhetorical theory:
"To give into everyday's decline, unscathed, that was just free will!"

"Your name is of no importance to me anymore,
This is how I perceive you and your kin; blood, tissues, tubes and fat.
A most simplistic schematic, grotesquely heightened by desires and wires.
Worship my pores, my sweat...
Palpable like my overgrowing distaste for mankind."

During his lecture, I abruptly spring free from my shackles and with fear as a weapon strangled all life out of the elder man.
The poignant scenario of a dying breed and its dilemmas.
The seed overcoming its fate, and overpowering its sovereign.
"Fuck the Scriptures; I'm questioning the question, through murder; it took me five seconds to climb Babel's Tower."

    This song references quotes from both the graphic novel Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, the Lord of the Rings trilogy and Friedrich Nietzsche. I think it was originally written by their ex-vocalist and then adapted into this song by their new one.

    Anyway, the meaning seems pretty clear...a guy wakes up to find himself tied up in a room with an old man and he has no idea where he is or how he got there. The old man starts to lecture him on various things but the guy breaks loose of the knots that tie him and he jumps up and strangles the old man and escapes.

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.
