At first I was terrified
to lose these jewels of mine
a life of foreign dreams
a life-time of someone else
twenty some-odd years
give it all away
then I find myself alone and on the floor

Where's the sun today?
Has it gone away?
Can't it break through the clouds?
Where's my world today?
I left it yesterday
Now I feel alone

Let go of everything
all your hopes and dreams
give them all away
and move to some other town
Words are razor-blades
they cut through accolades
Then you'll find yourself alone and on the floor

Where's my world today?
I left it yesterday
Can I carry on?
Where's my world today?
Layers stripped away
Left alone with myself...

and the pain of discovery
and the tears of agony
when you're shown in reality
that you're not who you thought you should be
and the beauty of simplicity
when you're shown a diamond inside
when the truth is realized
that you were meant to be who you are

Where's your world today?
What is life today?
Can you carry on?
Where's the world today?
Have you any strength?
The courage to carry on?

    i forgot exactly how - but i came across mindhead on this site and i downloaded their stuff and they are REALLY good, thank you suzannej27....

    they're like experimental soft rock. comparable to radiohead (note the head :P) but i think theyve certainly have their differences from them - they're not as dark. mindhead is not a dark band (except maybe evolution) they're really great

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
