Rah!
(Rah!) I have a heart, I swear I do
But just not, baby, when it comes to you
I get so hungry when you say you love me
(Hush!) if you know what's good for you
I think you're hot, I think you're cool
You're the kinda guy I'd stalk in school
But now that I'm famous, you're up my anus
Now I'm gonna eat you, fool

I eat boys up, breakfast and lunch
Then when I'm thirsty, I drink their blood
Carnivore, animal, I am a cannibal
I eat boys up, you better run

I am cannibal (cannibal, cannibal, I am)
I am cannibal (cannibal, I'll eat you up, I am)
I am cannibal (cannibal, cannibal, I am)
I am cannibal (cannibal, I'll eat you up)

Whenever you tell me I'm pretty
That's when the hunger really hits me
Your little heart goes pitter-patter
I want your liver on a platter
Use your finger to stir my tea
And for dessert I'll suck your teeth
Be too sweet and you'll be a goner
Yeah, I'll pull a Jeffrey Dahmer

I eat boys up, breakfast and lunch
Then when I'm thirsty, I drink their blood
Carnivore, animal, I am a cannibal
I eat boys up, you better run

I am cannibal (cannibal, cannibal, I am)
I am cannibal (cannibal, I'll eat you up, I am)
I am cannibal (cannibal, cannibal, I am)
I am cannibal (cannibal, I'll eat you up)

Oh-oh-whoa-oh-whoa
Oh-oh-whoa-oh-whoa
Oh-oh-whoa-oh-whoa
Oh-oh-whoa-oh-whoa
Oh-oh-whoa-oh-whoa
Oh-oh-whoa-oh-whoa
Oh-oh-whoa-oh-whoa
Oh-oh-whoa-oh-whoa

I am cannibal (cannibal, cannibal, I am)
I am cannibal (cannibal, I'll eat you up, I am)
I am cannibal (cannibal, cannibal, I am)
I am cannibal (cannibal, I'll eat you up)

I love you, ha-ha-ha
I warned you
Rah!

    My Interpretation

    Guys, it's all a metaphor, a dark twisted metaphor, but still a metaphor. She is saying that before she was famous guys didn't notice her, and now that she is a star they keep kissing her ass (now that i'm famous your up my anus). She is saying watch out because she knows, and she is a bit of a maneater ;)

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
