This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Since when did you become so cold,
And such a life-less piece of work?
I can't take the sound of you anymore,
Or the thought of you.
Don't worry,
Take what you need,
I left you and your dying breed.
But before we forget,
When the lights burn out,
Don't come home crying to me.
I will,
Surrender myself,
For the better health,
Of someone who really cares.
Why would you throw it away so fast?
It's gotta' get better than this,
Too hard for too long,
I'm holdin' on,
Try to go but it just don't feel right.
This light,
Your eyes,
I'm easy.
I should've known better by now,
But you look so,
Damn good.
Go get your black dress baby,
And put your dancin' shoes on [x2]
I swear to God,
My intentions were gold,
I swear to God,
My intentions were,
Gold.
Run away,
From your mistakes.
Just like the ones you hid from me.
Why can't you see that,
I was expecting this all along?
The road is long,
Where's the light?
I'm tired of walking alone.
Alone.
Alone.
I hope you know,
I hope you know,
I left you long before you left me [x2]
Time's up.
And such a life-less piece of work?
I can't take the sound of you anymore,
Or the thought of you.
Don't worry,
Take what you need,
I left you and your dying breed.
But before we forget,
When the lights burn out,
Don't come home crying to me.
I will,
Surrender myself,
For the better health,
Of someone who really cares.
Why would you throw it away so fast?
It's gotta' get better than this,
Too hard for too long,
I'm holdin' on,
Try to go but it just don't feel right.
This light,
Your eyes,
I'm easy.
I should've known better by now,
But you look so,
Damn good.
Go get your black dress baby,
And put your dancin' shoes on [x2]
I swear to God,
My intentions were gold,
I swear to God,
My intentions were,
Gold.
Run away,
From your mistakes.
Just like the ones you hid from me.
Why can't you see that,
I was expecting this all along?
The road is long,
Where's the light?
I'm tired of walking alone.
Alone.
Alone.
I hope you know,
I hope you know,
I left you long before you left me [x2]
Time's up.

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.
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
I'm so glad Austin Carlile is out of this band and every other band hes been in. He's a monotone whiney little bitch. All he has is his girl screech "screams" and that son of a bitch made Jaxin and his fiancee break up a while back and Jaxin had a sign for their tip jar at warped that said "Help me buy my girlfriend and NEW engagement ring." Austin Carlile can suck Jerry Roush's dick cause Jerry blows that douchebag out of the water.
Fuck off. If you don't like OM&M then get off the page. I like both bands but don't troll OM&M on their own page. Thats what asshole douche bags do. And the bands still have mutual respect for each other so don't make Jaxin out as a savior and Carlile as a whiney little bitch, cause your description of Jaxin at Warped Tour 2011 makes it seem like the roles are reversed.
Guess what!!! He's back in!! And Jerry Roush was filling in for Austin while he was out of commission from the multiple heart surgeries he had.
