You've been caught in a lie!!
You can't deny it!

So let the war begin
You're far from innocent
Hell I just don't know where it will end
You are the one to blame
You made a habit of
Fucking up my life.

Another fallacy
Is laid in front of me
Now I just don't know
What to believe
Another animal
Sent to devour what
Evers left inside

I know now!
It's all been a lie
And I'll never come to know why
I learn to discover
You're leaving me now
It's all been a lie
I don't ever want to know why
You've mastered the art of
Deceiving me now.

A mortal enemy
Has been revealed in me
How come I wasn't able to see
Another vampire
Getting their fix from
Sucking up my life
An evil entity
Had taken hold of me
Ripped out my heart and started to feed
I still remember when
I thought that all you were
Eating was my blood

I know now!
It's all been a lie
And I'll never come to know why
I learn to discover
You're leaving me now
It's all been a lie
I don't ever want to know why
You've mastered the art of
Deceiving me now.

Little puppet don't die
Little puppet you're suffering
Don't let me die
Little toy don't die

I know now!
It's all been a lie
And I'll never come to know why
I learn to discover
You're leaving me now
It's all been a lie
I don't ever want to know why
You've mastered the art of
Deceiving me now.

    This song is not about your stupid relationships and pity crap, this song is about our government lying to us this whole time. So many faggots in here trying to make every song about relationships and drugs just go die already.

    Not entirely sure what this song means. Sounds almost like his heart is being played with and every time he tries to break free she pulls him back in. He knows he's better off without her but he also knows the only way that'll ever happen is if he dies, which at this point is more desirable than the constant struggle

    What a nastyyyyyyy songgg.

    I believe that this is another song about a bad relationship that David Draiman had, where the girl would lie to him and basically just play him like a fool.

    Maybe?

    1 TDG fan that kinda goes with Stricken

    I think this song is pretty obvious. He found out a person (Maybe a girlfriend) is really out to hurt him or didn't really care for him.

    i think coolf1r3 is right. david did get played around by a girl, and she messed w/ his heart, and it pissed him off.

    The song is basically about being betrayed and decieved by a friend or loved one. When he says:

    So let the war begin, You're far from innocent, Well I just don't know where it will end. You are the one to blame. You've made a habit of censoreding up my life (OW!). Another fallacy Is laid in front of me, Now I just don't know what to believe, Another animal Sent to devour whatever's left inside...

    A mortal enemy Has been revealed to me, How come I wasn't able to see...

    -He doesn't want to believe that this person has been deceiving him, but he looks at all the things that have happened and realizes that this person has been deceiving him for a while but he just didn't allow himself to realize it until now when the made the final mistake that broke the relationship. And by the sound of it, this has happened to him before.

    At the end when he says: And it's all been a lie, And I'll never come to know why A world to discover, you're leaving me now...

    • He means that he will never understand why a person who meant so much to him hurt him like this, and now he has discovered a "world of truth" about this person who deceived him

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
