This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Mrs. Hemmings was OAO,
Pretty soon we were all OAO,
We were captured by victorian vampires.
With elaborate designs
With elaborate designs
This is the land of OAO
This is the land of OAO
This is the land of OAO
This is the land of OAO
Left//
We are a romanian sound collage
searching for the ghost of past sinners (?)
but this futile coffin will not
let us gain entry
into the immortal soul
of the redneck!!
you are trapped in your basement
for a war of 16 years
to combat prevention
and in combat with yourself
we are in combat with these cultural vampires
we were trapped in the basement
we were trapped in the basement of the teenage halfway hell!!
Right\
Old black bandit
I can't stand it
I'm your planet
Old black bandit
I can't stand it
I'm your planet
I was saved by old times
I was saved by old times
I was saved by old times
I was saved by old times
I was saved by old times
I was saved by old times
I was saved by old times
I was saved by old times
Pretty soon we were all OAO,
We were captured by victorian vampires.
With elaborate designs
With elaborate designs
This is the land of OAO
This is the land of OAO
This is the land of OAO
This is the land of OAO

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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 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.

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,

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
"This is a song about my best friend Sarah Hemmings, and her basement of horror in Marietta, Georgia"
