Parece cocaína
Mas é só tristeza
Talvez tua cidade
Muitos temores nascem
Do cansaço e da solidão
Descompasso, desperdício
Herdeiros são agora
Da virtude que perdemos

Há tempos tive um sonho
Não me lembro, não me lembro

Tua tristeza é tão exata
E hoje o dia é tão bonito
Já estamos acostumados
A não termos mais nem isso

Os sonhos vêm e os sonhos vão
E o resto é imperfeito

Dissestes que se tua voz
Tivesse força igual
À imensa dor que sentes
Teu grito acordaria
Não só a tua casa
Mas a vizinhança inteira

E há tempos
Nem os santos têm ao certo
A medida da maldade
E há tempos são os jovens
Que adoecem
E há tempos
O encanto está ausente
E há ferrugem nos sorrisos
Só o acaso estende os braços
A quem procura
Abrigo e proteção

Meu amor!
Disciplina é liberdade
Compaixão é fortaleza
Ter bondade é ter coragem (e ela disse)
Lá em casa tem um poço
Mas a água é muito limpa

    • Lá em casa tem um poço mas a água é muito limpa.

    Bem essa música é muito interessante pois a princípio mostra uma realidade de frustrações e medo, apresenta uma certa melancolia e até mesmo um pessimismo. Tudo isso fica explícito quando ele fala: "Muitos temores nascem do cansaço e da solidão. E o descompasso e o desperdício... H tempos tive um sonho. Não me lembro não me lembro. Tua tristeza é tão exata. E hoje o dia é tão bonito..."

    Tudo isso pode nos levar a não acreditar que as coisas podem melhorar só que ao final ele diz: "E ela disse: - lá em casa tem um poço mas a água é muito limpa" Então o que podem esperar de um poço? Água suja, salobra, impura...mas quando ele fala: mas a água é muito limpa, significa que ainda existe esperança. Parece que ele dialoga com a vida cheio de insegurança e ela diz que existe ainda um caminho, existe ainda uma chance, uma esperança!

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.

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,
