The forgotten thoughts of yesterdays
Through my eyes I see the past
Well, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know why

I believe, I believe, I believe
In the truth from inside
Go away, go away, go away from me
Leave me alone

The ignorance spreads lies
How much will money buy?
Well, I'll take my time
As I drift and die

Unwanted, live my life in shame
Who's to blame for my mistakes?
Well I don't know, I don't know I don't know why

I believe, I believe, I believe
in the truth from inside
Go away, go away, go away from me
Leave me alone

The ignorance spreads lies
How much will money buy?
Well, I'll take my time
As I drift and die
As I drift and die
As I drift and die
As I drift and die

The ignorance spreads lies
How much will money buy?
Well, I'll take my time
As I drift and die
As I drift and die
As I drift and die
As I drift and die

As I drift and die

    just thought I'd mention that 'buy' is the correct spelling to use in this song.

The Spy

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

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.
