This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
We're self imploding
Under the weight of your advice
I wear a suitcase
Under each one of my eyes
Finally,
I know now what it takes
It takes money
And aeroplanes
If you Love me let me go
Back to that bar in Tokyo
Where the demons from my past leave me in peace
(ah ah ah ah)
Ill be animating every night
The grass'll be greener on the other side
And the Vampires and Wolves won't sink their teeth
(Ah ah ah ah)
I'm sick of dancing with the beast
Astrophysics,
You'll never be my closest friend
I find no comfort
In what my mind can't comprehend
Finally,
I work out what it takes
It takes money
And aeroplanes
If you Love me let me go
Back to that bar in Tokyo
Where the demons from my past leave me in peace
(Ah ah ah ah)
Ill be animating every night
The grass'll be greener on the other side
And the vampires and wolves won't sink their teeth
(Ah ah ah ah)
I'm sick of dancing with the beast
No matter how much it needs me
Go on and follow someone else's lead
If you Love me let me go
Back to that bar in Tokyo
Where the demons from my past leave me in peace
(Ah ah ah ah)
I'll be animating every night
The grass'll be greener on the other side
And the Vampires and Wolves won't sink their teeth
(Ah ah ah ah)
I'm sick of dancing with the beast
Under the weight of your advice
I wear a suitcase
Under each one of my eyes
Finally,
I know now what it takes
It takes money
And aeroplanes
If you Love me let me go
Back to that bar in Tokyo
Where the demons from my past leave me in peace
(ah ah ah ah)
Ill be animating every night
The grass'll be greener on the other side
And the Vampires and Wolves won't sink their teeth
(Ah ah ah ah)
I'm sick of dancing with the beast
Astrophysics,
You'll never be my closest friend
I find no comfort
In what my mind can't comprehend
Finally,
I work out what it takes
It takes money
And aeroplanes
If you Love me let me go
Back to that bar in Tokyo
Where the demons from my past leave me in peace
(Ah ah ah ah)
Ill be animating every night
The grass'll be greener on the other side
And the vampires and wolves won't sink their teeth
(Ah ah ah ah)
I'm sick of dancing with the beast
No matter how much it needs me
Go on and follow someone else's lead
If you Love me let me go
Back to that bar in Tokyo
Where the demons from my past leave me in peace
(Ah ah ah ah)
I'll be animating every night
The grass'll be greener on the other side
And the Vampires and Wolves won't sink their teeth
(Ah ah ah ah)
I'm sick of dancing with the beast

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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
It's "I'll be animated every night", not "animating". :)
Official lyrics say "I'll be animating every night", not "animated" <br /> Here's a link:<br /> thewombats.co.uk/music/discography,tokyo-vampires-wolves_2.htm
Top class song, definitely one of their overall best!
The band's first release was in Japan, so I think they probably spent a lot of time there early on in their career.
It's probably about the fact they have to travel round everywhere now and want to just go back to Tokyo sometimes to get away from it all. I could be wrong but I get the feeling it's not addressing a girl when he says 'If you love me let me go', I think it could be talking to a label or manager or something. I think the first verse would make more sense then too, 'We're self imploding under the weight of your advice', because they're being made to tour the world and play gig after gig after gig.

I love this song, reminds me of lost in translation.
One line I think is overlooked is "the grass'll be greener on the other side"
That's really poignant to me, it shows that he's got everything but is deeply unhappy.
I think this song is about wanting to get away from everything because they are forced to do things they dont want to do like film whatever they were filming in Japan. They think that if they go to Tokyo and forget everthing then thery will be happier (the grass will be greener on the other side). thats what i think anyway.
