Hush, don't speak a word about the dreams that I live for.
It hurts to reach you when I'm down,
Don't speak again; I'm still waiting for my turn
It hurts to reach you when I'm down

My dreams are growing into
Frustrations when I hear your voice
(Feeding me till I'm choking)
(Feeding me till I'm choking)
My ears are ringing louder
Repeating words that bring me down
(Ringing, my ears are bleeding)
(Ringing, my ears are bleeding)

So hold your breath and spare me
The pointless conversation, I'm running out of patience
Don't blame me for trying to (reach)

Hush don't speak a word about the dreams that I live for
It hurts to reach you when I'm down
Don't speak again; I'm still waiting for my turn
It hurts to reach you when I'm down

As you are moving forward
I feel as if I can't catch up
(Trying so hard to reach you)
(Trying so hard to reach you)
I'm stuck here at the bottom
You're too high up to come back down
(Trying so hard to reach you)
(Trying so hard to reach you)

So hold your breath and spare me
(The pointless conversation, I'm running out of patience)
Don't blame me for trying to (reach)

Hush don't speak a word about the dreams that I live for
It hurts to reach you when I'm down
Don't speak again; I'm still waiting for my turn
It hurts to reach you when I'm down

Silence your harsh words my dear
My ears are ringing of this
I can't stop thinking of it
(I try to reach you but I fall)

Silence your harsh words my dear
My ears are ringing of this
I can't stop thinking of it

Silence your harsh words my dear
My ears are ringing of this
I can't stop thinking of it

Hush don't speak a word about the dreams that I live for
It hurts to reach you when I'm (down)
Don't speak again; I'm still waiting for my turn
It hurts to reach you when I'm (down)

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
