Boy Division

My Chemical Romance

If all my enemies threw a party
Would you light the candles
Would you drink the wine
While watching television

Watch the animals
And all the tragedies
And sell your arteries
And buy my casket gown

Well it better be black (woah)
And it better be tight (woah)
And it better be just my size (woah)

I'm stalking these metro malls
And airport halls
And all these schoolgirls say

I'm not asking
You're not telling
He's not dead
He only looks that...

Way out nowhere
Take me out there
Far away and
Save me from my
Self-destruction
Hopeless for ya
Sing a song for California

I buy my enemies rope to hang me
And the knives to gang me
You can watch them stab me
On your television

Stalk the halls
Because the bathroom walls
Would have a lot to say
About the lines you’re putting down

Well it better be white (woah)
And it better be cut (woah)
And it better be just my size (woah)

Until my capillaries
Burst from boredom
I'll be waiting

I'm not laughing
You're not joking
I'm not dead
I only dress that…

Way out nowhere
Take me out there
Far away and
Save me from my
Self-destruction
Hopeless for ya
Sing a song for California

Wherever you are
Wherever you are
Whoever you are
Whoever you are

La la la la

‘Cause we got the bomb
We got the bomb, let’s go
We got the bomb
We got the bomb, let’s go
We got the bomb
We got the bomb, let’s go
We got the bomb
We got the bomb, let’s go

Way out nowhere
Take me out there
Far away and
Save me from my
Self-destruction
Hopeless for ya
Say a prayer for California

We got the bomb
We got the bomb
We got the bomb
We got the bomb

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”

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.
