I'll say what I want
Do as I please
What you only dream of
I will achieve
I'm changing the world
I've got the answers you seek
I can move mountains
With the truth that I speak

You love your money
You love your cars
Your diamond earrings
Your credit cards
And it doesn't matter
How much I paid
'Cause please believe me baby
Better live for the day
Alright

He's dressed up in black
From his head to his toes
And when he comes calling
Nobody knows
He doesn't take bribes
No matter how much they'll pay
He won't turn his head
To look the other way

You love your money
You love your cars
Your diamond earrings
Your credit cards
And it doesn't matter
How much I paid
'Cause please believe me baby
Better live for the day
Alright

Some they live long
Some never grow old
But no man can see
What lay ahead
Of the road
You're a 9 to 5 prisoner
Trying to live like a king
The same thing that drives you
Your death it will bring

You love your money
You love your cars
Your diamond earrings
Your credit cards
And it doesn't matter
How much I paid
'Cause please believe me baby
Better live for the day

You love your money
You love your cars
Your diamond earrings
Your credit cards
And it doesn't matter
How much I pay
'Cause please believe me baby
Better live for the day

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
