We've all been tied to words
That we sink
Not falling in
Not falling in
We've all been tied to words
That we sink
Not falling in
I'm not falling in

Don't know what I want to do
And I hope that I never do
Don't know what I want to do
And I hope that I never do
Don't know what I want from you
And I hope that I never do
Don't know what I want to do
And I hope that I never do

Dropping anchor
Dropping anchor

We've all been tied to words
That we sink
Not falling in
Not falling in
We've all been tied to words
That we sink
Not falling in
Not falling in

Don't know what I want to do
And I hope that I never do
Don't know what I want to do
And I hope that I never do
Don't know what I want from you
And I hope that I never do
Don't know what I want to do
And I hope that I never do

And I will not play my hand just yet
And I will not and I will not
Play my hand just yet
And I will not can't believe
Though I know I said it
Kick myself
But I won't regret it

Dropping anchor
Dropping anchor
Dropping anchor
Dropping anchor
Dropping anchor
Dropping anchor
Dropping anchor
Dropping anchor

    Haha Jimmie's made a deal with the devil for pushing salmonella envelope. Totally brilliant. Dropping anchor sort of a funny story. Dude who turn me on to Jimmy's whose house I frequently frequented was a place I ended up always taking a shit at. 20 years ago still to this day when we hear that song we laugh about what it reminds us of. Me dropping anchor. Haha!

    We've all been tied to words that we sink not falling in lol

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.
