With your teeth, your lips, you hit the ground
You hear the fish make this sound
"We just want to go walk around
And feel what it's like to fall down"

With your teeth, your lips, you hit the ground
You hear the fish make this sound
"We just want to go walk around
And feel what it's like to fall down"

With your teeth, your lips, you hit the ground
You hear the fish make this sound
"We just want to go walk around"

Do you blame yourself?
Do you blame yourself?
Do you blame yourself?
Hey you, do you blame yourself?
Do you blame yourself?!
Do you blame yourself?!
Well, hey you! Yeah you! Will you blame yourself?!
Well you! Yeah, will you blame yourself?!

Hey you, do you blame yourself?
Oh yeah, do you blame yourself?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you blame yourself!

Do you blame someone else?
Do you blame someone else?
Mother, father, preacher, God
Do you blame yourself?
Blame yourself!

Mothers got a daughter, son's a preacher, son drinks water
Take yourself down to the roller skating rink
Say what you know is what you had
And what you had was something better
So now you blame yourself!
Do you blame yourself!?

You knew there was something wrong
There was something right
There was something better than that
Someday you didn't know something you wanted to forget
Blame yourself for that
(..)

Do you blame yourself?
Do you blame yourself?
Did you fuck yourself up?
Oh shit, I would cut myself
Well, can you blame yourself?!

With your teeth, your lips, you hit the ground
You hear the fish make this sound
"We just want to go walk around
And feel what it's like to fall down"

You got a knife?
You got a knife?
You got a knife?!
You got a knife!
You got a knife!

(Aww, shit)

(..)

With the choice of lying from the first day
Things you had that you would have said
That you said before you even got through the door
You didn't know they made up some more
So much more you had to say
"I got nothing left today
But no thoughts, I got nothing to believe
I can't believe what you're saying
And you can think what I'm thinking, what I would
And kudos to you, I do not know what I have in my head
And I cannot, will not do
And I cannot belong to you
You cannot belong to me, too
I cannot blame you for you
And you cannot blame me for the shit I do"
(..)
Well habit, habit, habit's dead
The dad tried to kill himself
Other dad tried to kill himself
And they never made it out on time
And they never made it out with their mental health
But then one day you walk through the door
Just outside you know some more
I don't love you, you don't love you
And you know what you got left
What the fuck you got left?
I don't love you, I don't love you
You can't say what's left
Love yourself and love your friends
Well, love your family near the end
Don't know what is going on
Well, things cannot end up this way
Things cannot end up this way!
You're walking to the TV, listening to the shows
Reading the paper and no one knows
What the fuck is going on, how much how, how much how?
How much longer have we got to go on?

Old age as time grew, you did too and you didn't say what you wanted to
Okay! (Static shit)
Patriotic bullshit, George Bush, the government
The other side, genocide, what the fuck?
You can't deny that things are going up
And are not going to be so nice

Take a breath or take twenty (..)
You get no more and you can see what you can see

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
