Thunder please explain (please explain)

why you ask me how I am I'm fine I

wonder is it sane (is it sane)

to pierce purple eyeballs made of china

{Canon}

I love you like a son like a game I have won

like a toothbrush I used for the Eiffel Tower

my youth it is gone it's a boot stuck in the ground

is there truth to be found in an iron flower

Mmmm... I will try hard to be a spark of power

mmmm... I will, I'll never be your iron flower

Stone please explain (please explain)

why your silence makes more noise then thunder

bones, is it sane (is it sane)

to obey me and the flesh you're under

{Canon}

Your words are soon gone and it hurts, I have none

take a jump from your pretty linguistic tower

the goal of speech, so obnoxious to reach

only one thing to do, melt your iron flower

Mmmm... I will try hard to be a spark of power

mmmm... I will, I'll never be your iron flower

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
