its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Please die Ana
For as long as you're here we're not
You make the sound of laughter
And sharpened nails seem softer
And I need you now somehow
And I need you now somehow
Open fire
On the needs designed on my knees for you
Open fire
On my knees desires what I need from you
Imagine pageant
In my head the flesh seems thicker
Sandpaper tears corrode the film
And I need you now somehow
And I need you now somehow
Open fire
On the needs designed on my knees for you
Open fire
On my knees desires what I need from you
And you're my obsession
I love you to the bones
And Ana wrecks your life
Like an Anorexia life
Open fire
On the needs designed on my knees for you
Open fire
On my knees desires what I need from you
Open fire
On the needs designed
Open fire
On my knees desires what I need from you
For as long as you're here we're not
You make the sound of laughter
And sharpened nails seem softer
And I need you now somehow
And I need you now somehow
Open fire
On the needs designed on my knees for you
Open fire
On my knees desires what I need from you
Imagine pageant
In my head the flesh seems thicker
Sandpaper tears corrode the film
And I need you now somehow
And I need you now somehow
Open fire
On the needs designed on my knees for you
Open fire
On my knees desires what I need from you
And you're my obsession
I love you to the bones
And Ana wrecks your life
Like an Anorexia life
Open fire
On the needs designed on my knees for you
Open fire
On my knees desires what I need from you
Open fire
On the needs designed
Open fire
On my knees desires what I need from you

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?

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.
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.
It's about anorexia. Ana == term of endearment for anorexia. For those people who STILL think that this song is about self injury or depression, here's the analysis.
Please die ana For as long as you're here we're not You make the sound of laughter And sharpened nails seem softer And I need you now somehow And I need you now somehow
He's saying that he doesn't like ana, but ana supposedly makes starvation seem easy and comforts him in a strange way(many anorexics say that), and he realizes that he needs ana.
Open fire on the needs designed On my knees for you Open fire on my knees desires What I need from you
Starvation. Pure and simple. Food is a human need. "Open fire" = fire a gun = kill. He wants ana to kill his needs and desires for food, since the body naturally desires food when hungry.
Imagine a pageant In my head the flesh seems thicker Sandpaper tears corrode the filth And I need you now somehow And I need you now somehow
Anorexics think that they are fat in their head regardless of how thin they might be (in my head, the flesh seems thicker). Sandpaper is used to scrape away at something unwanted, such as body fat on an anorexic.
Open fire on the needs designed On my knees for you Open fire on my knees desires What I need from you
And you're my obsession I love you to the bones And ana wrecks your life Like an anorexia life
"I love you to the bones" is a pun on how most anorexics end up at one point or another, bone thin. Anorexia wrecks your life, but again, it is very difficult to break free from it.
