(Now I can see your pain, I'm sorry
Goodbye, I cry so hard
Now I can see your pain, I'm sorry
Goodbye, I cry tonight)

The necks of this youth
With their necks through this noose
We're told lies like it's truth
And we suspect that it's you
So you strap them with the AK
It's motherfucking mayday
They swear I'm fucking crazy
Ain't nothing gonna save me

I'm breaking, I feel it
I'm naked, I'm kneeling
I'm shaking, I'm reeling
My God I keep bleeding
I watch the world die through crimson eyes
I cry it turns to night
I die, I see the light
And now I'll say goodbye

Now I can see your pain, I'm sorry
Goodbye
I cry so hard
Now I can see your pain, I'm sorry
Goodbye
I cry tonight

If I could take all this pain away
Use the rage of our youth today
Whose to say that it's you to blame
It's the people above you
The ones who say that they love you
Look what the world has come to
So now it's time to say 'Fuck you'

If you care then they drug you
And no one's there when they numb you
Fill you with terror and crush you
Pretend they care as they shove you

So you look to me to find the truth
And what I say is what you do
But everyone you look up to
Is really as fucked-up as you

Time is getting shorter
With these enforced disorders
And we get blamed and pushed around
So who's the fucking villain now?

Now I can see your pain, I'm sorry
Goodbye
I cry so hard
Now I can see your pain, I'm sorry
Goodbye
I cry tonight

We can't stop now
We're so close now
'Cause these times are almost over
I won't give up
So God, save us
It feels like we're getting closer

We can't stop now
We're so close now
'Cause these times are almost over
I won't give up
So God, save us, wow

Now I can see your pain, I'm sorry
Goodbye
I cry so hard
Now I can see your pain, I'm sorry
Goodbye
I cry tonight

Goodbye
I cry tonight

I'll cry tonight
I cry tonight

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.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
