Today I’m sleeping in
I’ll wake up with the world on fire
And I’ll listen to music instead of the news
‘Cause I have been here before
Chasing dreams you can get so tired
Too tired to tell the dreams coming true

I got careless
I pushed you away to live for the day
But tonight I can’t bear this
I’m breaking free
But what good is free if I cannot share it
With you
A cloud on the sun in a sky so blue
I was careless
So careless with you

if I could do this again
Every chord, every note, every page
Every song that I sing I would sing them for you
So I will steady my pen
Write these words from your busted bird cage
And I’ll watch the world pass from the bars you broke through

I got careless
I pushed you away to live for the day
But tonight I can’t bear this
I’m breaking free
But what good is free if I cannot share it
With you
A cloud on the sun in a sky so blue
I was careless
So careless with you

When the gold of daylight breaks
Feel the sunshine on my face
Will you take me back
Even after all of my mistakes?

I got careless
I pushed you away to live for the day
But tonight I can’t bear this
I’m breaking free
But what good is free if I cannot share it
With you
A cloud on the sun in a sky so blue
I was careless
So careless with you

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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
