Tonight this one's for us.
Hey brother!
I see what they done to you.
Hey brother!
Can you see what they done to me to?
No where to turn and we got nothing to lose,
But you can count on me if I can count on you. It's true!

Hey brother all we've got's each other
In a world of shit, why'know they made us suffer.
Hey brother all they let us have is each other
So let's fuck society up...

They'll never see the side of life I've seen
They'll never understand what made this hatred inside me breathe.
I found my family on the city streets
Because they locked me out of their American dream. They lie!
And through those years of redemption denied
I couldn't see the truth through the blood in my eyes. They lie!
I know they want to tear us up my friend,
But we can spit in their face until the bitter end, my friend!

Hey brother! I see what they done to you!
For you I will fight!
Hey brother! You can see what they've done to me too!
For you I'll do it right!
Hey brother! We got nothing to lose, it's true!
For you I'll defy!
Hey brother! So tonight this one's for you!
For you I'll fucking die...

Hey brother, all we got's each other
And they been treatin' us rough.
Hey brother, all they let us have's each other
So tonight this one's for us.

Hey brother, all we got's each other
Through these years so rough.
Hey brother, all they let us have's each other
So let's fuck society up.

They won't break my heart again.
They will never take my heart again. never again
They won't break my heart again. never again
They will never tear us up again, my friend.

Tonight this one's for us...

    this song ain't some silly gangster song for all the crooked half-white boy limp bizkit jerkoffs to feel hot to, nor is it a rally cry for violence. This is a song about finding friendship in a cold hard world and finding family where you had none.

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.

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.
