This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
One more night,
One more before I shall whither and die.
Grant me just one more life.
One more I'm needed to make this thing right.
The more that I gave, The less I received.
It's all for them, and none for me.
I am unworthy to be sacrificed,
I'm such a tragic comic.
Doing the dance, and singing the songs,
I'm Morhpeus in a Masquerade.
The orchard of sins, I have held deep-within,
I will burn down for you.
One more night,
For me to turn into what I portrayed.
Call me by my true name.
One more time, one more before it's too late
It's not the ovations that I so adore,
It's your shrine I kneel before.
You were my beginning and you'll be my end,
My lover and my friend.
There in the dark you have always been waiting,
Waiting for me to return back home.
Hold onto me when the ballroom has emptied,
Last cadence faded.
[Solo]
Dark is the road that now lies before me,
Twisting the path to that empty house,
Where evil lurks in every darkened room.
Just waiting for you.
Liars and the martyrs,
I've got dreams to auction.
Devil can you hear me?
I've got souls to sell.
Sinner or a saint,
For me it's all the same.
I have grown so tired,
Of this Masquerade.
My ray of hope, where are you now,
When I need you the most?
You are the chile of love,
And you are all I've been longing for.
Let your morning fall upon me,
Let the night time fade away.
Bestow on me forgiveness,
And let me live for another day!
On this ground I've made my bed,
And in it I will lay.
Born at evenfall,
Now old and grey.
I'm Morpheus, please dance with me.
As always can take the lead,
And guide me through the waltz of life,
Sailing through the seas of night.
I'm Morhpeus, please caress me.
Hold my heart, too weak to beat.
For I'm not sure I want to see,
What you've come to show to me tonight
A silhouette of a broken man,
Standing by the shore-line.
He turns around,
And I can see it's me.
Standing where the ocean touched the sand,
This little boy,
Has grown to be a man.
Let me be the best I can.
Take me where the clouds curess the horizon.
Where all I hear is whisper of the wind.
A mothers womb, a soothing song once more,
And the star I used to wish upon, so long ago.
One moment, I'm broken.
My heart will be wide open.
For someone, for no one.
Cast to the wind, my ashes.
[Solo]
Here I stand, naked and ashamed.
I've been stripped down to the bone.
The Emperor's new clothes,
That no one here can see.
Yet no one cares to say,
But it's good enough for me.
Abandoned and forsaken,
By my imaginary friends.
They all leave me alone,
So I can doubt my existance.
For in the end,
I don't even know who I am.
I've shifted shapes so many times.
I've forgotten which ones mine.
So sick and tired,
Of being sick and tired.
My quest for immortality,
Has made me so much more human,
Than I ever wished to be.
My love, save me!
One more before I shall whither and die.
Grant me just one more life.
One more I'm needed to make this thing right.
The more that I gave, The less I received.
It's all for them, and none for me.
I am unworthy to be sacrificed,
I'm such a tragic comic.
Doing the dance, and singing the songs,
I'm Morhpeus in a Masquerade.
The orchard of sins, I have held deep-within,
I will burn down for you.
One more night,
For me to turn into what I portrayed.
Call me by my true name.
One more time, one more before it's too late
It's not the ovations that I so adore,
It's your shrine I kneel before.
You were my beginning and you'll be my end,
My lover and my friend.
There in the dark you have always been waiting,
Waiting for me to return back home.

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 Can't Go To Sleep
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.
No Surprises
Radiohead

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
