You know how it is! I'm, I'm, I'm,
I'm forty now and I got a family and I got shit to do.
And, you know, I made the decision when I was forty,
I'm goin' on the wagon, you know?
No more drinking, no more drug taking, no, oh, this?
This is a beer, but, you know, this is light beer!
It's, it's not even like drinking beer!

I've become a cliche.
I've become a cliche.
I've become a cliche.
I've become a cliche.

Okay, well, I'll have a drink or two at shows,
But only to loosen up.
I totally stopped doing drugs.
Oh, prescription drugs are, you know, that's different.
It doesn't have to be my prescription.
If a doctor prescribes these drugs, they've gotta be pretty safe.
But, you know, I definitely don't do street drugs anymore.
I mean, unless you've got some.

I've become a cliche.
I've become a cliche.
I've become a cliche.
I've become a cliche.

Oh, you're not holding.
That's cool.
No big deal.
You know, I never do it unless it's just around,
Or someones offering it.
Oh, I know a guy!
Yeah, he's, he's like ten minutes away.
I'll, I'll drive. I'll drive.
You know, I got money too!
Oh, oh we, yeah we could just stay here.
Or, I'll be back in twenty.

I've become a cliche.
I've become a cliche.
I've become a cliche.
I've become a cliche.

Whaddya mean?
This is not last call.
This is first call.
We'll, we'll, I know a place we can go.
We'll go right,
You threw up!

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
