Ladies and gentlemen, Presenting the outrageous
I'm music without limelight, A guitarist without stages
I'm a Hells Angel without the Harley Davidson
You're a golden state warrior without Antawn Jamison

I'm your last laugh without a punchline
I'm a fistfight in your high school halls at lunchtime
I'm dangerous like car wrecks without that drunk driver
I'm that island that traps you and votes you off like survivor

I'm MacGyver without a red switchblade, I'm man-made
Graffiti on the walls without the aerosol spray
I'm a 30-second delay without the time limit
I'm a shark-infested ocean, I dare you to dive in it

I'm that gold chain ready to be snatched from your neck
I'm that AIDS virus when you don't practice safe sex
I'm that hole in your latex that made your whole world crash
The most dangerous three letter word is Yas

Somebody back-up (there's no room to stand up)
Stop and throw your hands up, nobody can do it like this
Somebody back-up (there's no room to stand up)
Stop and throw your hands up, let's get it on like this

I'm your last bit of oxygen, I'm Waco Texas
I'm a 13-year-old kid stealing your Lexus
I'm a trilogy without the second and third sequels
I'm a crash test dummy without the smashed up vehicle

I'm everything you dream of, I'm life without death
I'm a respirator holding on to your last breath
I'm Bill Gates' Microsoft without Silicon Valley
I'm a natural born killer without Mickey or Mallory

You're a chair being thrown around at a Bobby Knight practice
I'm a cross between rival gangs and celebrity death matches
I attack this like pythons, I'm a living icon
You wanna see the apocalypse? Then turn my mic on

Somebody back-up (there's no room to stand up)
Stop and throw your hands up, nobody can do it like this
Somebody back-up (there's no room to stand up)
Stop and throw your hands up, let's get it on like this

One, two, one, two
I'm a shark-infested ocean, I dare you to dive in it
One, two, one, two
I'm a shark-infested ocean, I dare you to dive in it

One, two, one, two
I'm a shark-infested ocean, I dare you to dive in it
One, two, one, two
I'm a shark-infested ocean, I dare you to dive in it

Somebody back-up (there's no room to stand up)
Stop and throw your hands up, nobody can do it like this
Somebody back-up (there's no room to stand up)
Stop and throw your hands up, let's get it on like this

Somebody back-up (there's no room to stand up)
Stop and throw your hands up (I'm a shark-infested ocean, I dare you to dive in it)
Somebody back-up (there's no room to stand up)
Stop and throw your hands up (I'm a shark-infested ocean, I dare you to dive in it)

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
