Questions drip from my umbrella
Shadows hang over me

Stand here, waiting
I know the sky will break
And bleed its light
And kiss my face with mercy

I'll endure the rain
I will wait an hour more
Not sure if I'll see anything
Can I wait here anymore
I'll endure the rain
I will wait an hour more
Not sure if I'll see anything
Can I wait here any longer

Teardrops vanish in a moment
Rainbows hang over me
Darkness fading
I know the sky will break
And bleed its light
And kiss my face with mercy

Can I wait here any longer
Wait here any longer

    I have no idea what the meaning of this song is, but the remix is relaxing.

    I think it's about a girl waiting around for a guy-- Though she's uncertain if he'll show- and so she's asking herself if she can "wait here any longer."

    I kind of like how she uses the rain to get her point across.

    This band is really good, but since they are a Christian band i totally think that shes just talking about how cool God is and everything like that and how she cant wait to get up to Heaven an hang out with Him! and she uses the rain to show some of the awesome gifts that God can bring!

    I think this song is about being tired of being in a certain situation in life that never seems to want to go away. It could be waiting for a guy, but I seem to think of it as waiting for her relationship with God to move on to a greater level. Sometimes no matter what you do, you can feel like you're not getting anywhere, and it sometimes causes you to begin to lose hope. For me, its about waiting for breakthrough. ^^;

    i definately think it is about waiting for response or action for God. Sometimes God remains unheard or unseen to strengthen us. We wait through the silence just waiting to see one peak or one whisper from Him

    Sometimes we're just in a bad place...don't know what's coming, don't know what's going on...and the only sane thing you can do is just hang in there and wait.

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,
