it's been so long since i've seen so many of our friends!

you say, the light is coming from up the night sky
reflect off the rise realize that we were
safe in each other for some time now
the new world sung whatever's come our way
sing out to whatever you believe in
sing out to bring it all out
now sing out to anyone to anything
or to everything at once

you're so ----
---------------
you're part of me
you're part of us
you're so far
you're so ----
you're part of me
you're part of everything

let's rock!

i look back and see these facial expressions upon your knees
and we ask ourselves too many questions
about what creation is and what it means

we've come a long way to find this
true love so let this remind us
of everything that we found together
in times of trouble past the times of doubt

we've come a long way to find this
true love so let this remind us
keep keepin' your head up and you'll see
that good things are on the horizon

sometimes i feel like i know
the answers to this constant flow
a continue of consistant confusion
not to be confused with fickle frustration

and i ask what is the meaning
of that word we use so loosely
it's a term we define too highly
in a center which we recieve and grieve so widely

in the end, when it's not going on, do we give up?
do we leave our concessions to mend something that's not to be taken lightly?
do we move on? we most past---
past the ugly, past the flask
success it's true what you make it
what we firmly define as being yours and mine

keep it going
yup

you're part of me
you're part of everything

i look back and see these facial expressions upon your knees
and we ask ourselves too many questions
about what creation is and what it means

we've come a long way to find this
true love so let this remind us
of everything that we found together
in times of trouble past the times of doubt

we've come a long way to find this
true love so let this remind us
keep keepin' your head up and you'll see
that good things are on the horizon

all i wanna do is spread love to you
over and again through every song that we do
this is the truth the audience
is here but not so near and
all i want to do is be a part of you
and this is the truth
it's not a fight it's just how it feels
it's right

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

No Surprises
Radiohead
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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
