The gods watch over you
And they consider what you've done

But now you've hidden away
To gain your strength
Deep in a cave
Your power is regained

And your legacy has spread
To the deepest of the sea
The one who brought them vengeance
To fight for his belief

He can swim through matter
He has poisoned teeth
His tentacles have murdered
His scream can kill the weak

He's got
Explosives (check)
Corrosives (check)
A master at the art of murder
Mermaids weep the blackened tears

So you swim to a sunken ship
Invited by a soul who bleeds at the lips
This prophet who beckons you wades in the dark
Speaks an ancient language This language is of sharks

He says you're the one that I decree
The one who can save us and set us free
You've gained the power of a deity
You have the strength to wake us from this sleep

And so you swim on (swim on)
And so swim on (swim on)
Keep swimming now

And the prophet gives to you this warning
If this path is chosen you'll be met with strife
For you will be seen as an enemy of the sacred
And the gods will curse you for the rest of your life
And you say

I get by just fine (check)
I've known much worse life (check)
I've conquered dark times (check)
They should fear my mind (check)

So you know then go then
Swim on through the cold then
Harness your strength
Because one day you may be called
To meet the mighty gods
Deep within the ocean
And if you are not prepared your soul will not be spared

Your eyes have gone black
You'll never look back
You'll never stop swimming
You'll always be tracked

Your life has transformed
Your power has grown
Your minions stretch for leagues
For a bloodies coral throne

A crown of murdered foes will sit upon your head
Those that wish to challenge you
Will wish that they were dead

The beasts of the sea will collect and submit
Prey for your forgiveness and live as you permit

And you'll say
I am the water god

You will bow to the water god
You will live for the water god
And you will die for the water god

Live for the water god
Die for the water god

And the deities loom nearer
They will find you....

    I definitely like how this Murmaider tells more of a story. Taking power that was not his, he swims on, always watching his back for those whose rage he incited. A powerful tale that should be heeded by anyone seeking power.

    The song is okay, but the first Murmaider is better.

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.

Gentle Hour
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,

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
