I lit a match today
I watched it burn away
All that I had, all that I've owned
All that I've wanted, all that I've known
I can rebuild bigger and higher
I can replace what I lost in the fire
I lit a match today
I watched it blow away
Yeah, they'll investigate
Sift through the mire
To determine the cause of this beautiful fire
Let ‘em speculate to their heart's desire
This wasn't arson, it's a funeral pyre
Let it all burn up to the sky
There is a freedom you cannot deny
I can rebuild, bigger and higher
I can replace what I lost in the fire
See the parade fall in line
Yeah, look at the diamonds in their eyes
Not just from the riches, nor from the gold
But from all of the spoils that they found in the coal
Let them feel the warmth of their newfound desire
As they dance through the ashes of what they lost in the fire
Let it all burn up to the sky,
There is a freedom you cannot deny
I can rebuild bigger and higher
I can replace what we lost in the fire
Ash and the candle, fortune untold
Blissful indulgence as the future unfolds
The wheat and the chaff will all burn away
With resurgence and splendor, listen as we sing
Let it all burn up to the sky
There is a freedom that won't be denied
I can rebuild bigger and higher
I can replace what we lost in the fire, yeah, oh!
Oh, what we lost in the fire
We will replace what we lost in the fire
Sing, sing! 2, 3, uh!
I watched it burn away
All that I had, all that I've owned
All that I've wanted, all that I've known
I can rebuild bigger and higher
I can replace what I lost in the fire
I lit a match today
I watched it blow away
Yeah, they'll investigate
Sift through the mire
To determine the cause of this beautiful fire
Let ‘em speculate to their heart's desire
This wasn't arson, it's a funeral pyre
Let it all burn up to the sky
There is a freedom you cannot deny
I can rebuild, bigger and higher
I can replace what I lost in the fire
See the parade fall in line
Yeah, look at the diamonds in their eyes
Not just from the riches, nor from the gold
But from all of the spoils that they found in the coal
Let them feel the warmth of their newfound desire
As they dance through the ashes of what they lost in the fire
Let it all burn up to the sky,
There is a freedom you cannot deny
I can rebuild bigger and higher
I can replace what we lost in the fire
Ash and the candle, fortune untold
Blissful indulgence as the future unfolds
The wheat and the chaff will all burn away
With resurgence and splendor, listen as we sing
Let it all burn up to the sky
There is a freedom that won't be denied
I can rebuild bigger and higher
I can replace what we lost in the fire, yeah, oh!
Oh, what we lost in the fire
We will replace what we lost in the fire
Sing, sing! 2, 3, uh!

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
This song talks about all the instances and feelings you hold on to and/or liberate when you move to a next step of something in your life Troy himself explained that, instead of losing our heads over a problem (in this case, a burning fire), if we just sit on it instead, we let ourselves be consumed by the fire and then reborn as someone greater than when we were before. All that while exploring the ashes of the past and seeing it all for what it is. When something burns, something dies, something ceases to exist. And if this 'something' is bad for you, you experience the freedom of its ashes.
"Let them feel the warmth of their newfound desire As they dance through the ashes of what they lost in the fire"
It's a powerful song that talks about loss, freedom and second chances, all in one take. If it was something you weren't great at, you can do better. If it was something that was holding you down, now you're free to walk on on your own feet.
