This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Boring night, boring morning, always telling me I'm wrong
Always something I've forgotten – can't they see I'm rocking on?
Music is my life, I need it more and more
Every time I write a song, it's been heard before
Fighting for my first break, I just can't work it out
It's enough to make your heart break – what's it all about?
Spoken:
Why don't you get a proper job?
Something where you can earn some money for a change
Sittin' about playing that guest music
All them symphonizes won't get far without, you know?
Suddenly I'm rich and famous, gonna be a megastar
Suddenly we're on the telly, as overnight sensations are
Mother, she's so proud, she found a colour set
But all the neighbours down our street can't forget
Now I've got my first break, she still can't work it out
It's enough to make your heart break – what's it all about?
Spoken:
Always knew he'd do it, son
How much did you take alone?
Appearing mail tonight
One inch? Gaaughh!
Took it all, smiling faces, lost it all with open hands
Watched it sliding through my fingers, fame and fortune now is gone
But music is still my life, I need it more and more
There'll always be someone who's heard it all before
But back to front existence blinkers on your eyes
Won't need no assistance, there'll be no more surprise...
Always something I've forgotten – can't they see I'm rocking on?
Music is my life, I need it more and more
Every time I write a song, it's been heard before
Fighting for my first break, I just can't work it out
It's enough to make your heart break – what's it all about?
Spoken:
Why don't you get a proper job?
Something where you can earn some money for a change
Sittin' about playing that guest music
All them symphonizes won't get far without, you know?
Suddenly I'm rich and famous, gonna be a megastar
Suddenly we're on the telly, as overnight sensations are
Mother, she's so proud, she found a colour set
But all the neighbours down our street can't forget
Now I've got my first break, she still can't work it out
It's enough to make your heart break – what's it all about?
Spoken:
Always knew he'd do it, son
How much did you take alone?
Appearing mail tonight
One inch? Gaaughh!
Took it all, smiling faces, lost it all with open hands
Watched it sliding through my fingers, fame and fortune now is gone
But music is still my life, I need it more and more
There'll always be someone who's heard it all before
But back to front existence blinkers on your eyes
Won't need no assistance, there'll be no more surprise...

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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
