Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
I made a choice that very night to become a slightly better man.
I started by washing my hands of all those past sins,
And as you waited alone in your car outside, I politely but quite firmly declined your invitation for the evening.
So hold out your weary hand, let me tell your fortune again.
The future is brighter than you'll ever know,
Now that we are on our own.
There are things that you deserve to know, the rest you have to earn.
I have no remorse.
As soon as I hung up the phone I knew this disaster was finally through,
And I could hear through the cloudy line that this took you by surprise.
So hold out your weary hand, let me tell your fortune again.
The future is brighter than you'll ever know,
Now that we are on our own.
It's true that I have no idea what the universe has in store,
But I do know that when you think it can't get any worse,
It does.
So hold out your weary hand, let me tell your fortune again.
The future is brighter than you'll ever know,
Now that we are on our own.

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.

@[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.
This is my favorite Fake Problems song. Whenever it comes on, I can't stop dancing.
