its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Masters are relentless, torture is for slaves
Money, greed and power drives you to obey
Temperature is rising, shakes me to the core
Blood and domination, victims of the law
When bloody angels spread their wings
We're drowning in madness, the heart of the Unicorn...
Dwelling in sadness, the heart of the Unicorn...
...is dead
I see the demons rising, beyond their sleeping void
Deep and down the masters take them to the light
Their piercing rays are blazing, obliterating fast
All dreams are torn to pieces, vaporized at last
When bloody angels spread their wings
We're drowning in madness, the heart of the Unicorn...
Dwelling in sadness, the heart of the Unicorn...
...is dead
I scan the dead horizon, illuminated curse
In squished imagination, catastrophies unfurl
Beyond the cataclysm, a dream of Unicorns
The purest heart in heaven, stabbed by poisoned thorns
Bloody angels, searing with fire-turn to dust
All through the millenniums, I've seen the writing on the wall
Into our oblivion, we are the riders on the storm
We're drowning in madness, the heart of the Unicorn...
Dwelling in sadness, the heart of the Unicorn...
...is dead
Beware - all dead
No light - all dead
No dreams - all dead
No life - you're dead
Money, greed and power drives you to obey
Temperature is rising, shakes me to the core
Blood and domination, victims of the law
When bloody angels spread their wings
We're drowning in madness, the heart of the Unicorn...
Dwelling in sadness, the heart of the Unicorn...
...is dead
I see the demons rising, beyond their sleeping void
Deep and down the masters take them to the light
Their piercing rays are blazing, obliterating fast
All dreams are torn to pieces, vaporized at last
When bloody angels spread their wings
We're drowning in madness, the heart of the Unicorn...
Dwelling in sadness, the heart of the Unicorn...
...is dead
I scan the dead horizon, illuminated curse
In squished imagination, catastrophies unfurl
Beyond the cataclysm, a dream of Unicorns
The purest heart in heaven, stabbed by poisoned thorns
Bloody angels, searing with fire-turn to dust
All through the millenniums, I've seen the writing on the wall
Into our oblivion, we are the riders on the storm
We're drowning in madness, the heart of the Unicorn...
Dwelling in sadness, the heart of the Unicorn...
...is dead
Beware - all dead
No light - all dead
No dreams - all dead
No life - you're dead

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.
I think the heart of the unicorn represents the mystical soul of mankind.
