He knew what he wanted to say
But he did not want to word it
The dirty little Herbert
Was seeking an escape

But the place was well-guarded
The guiltiness that started
Soon as the other part had stopped

"D" is for delightful
And try and keep your trousers on
I think you should know you're his favorite worst nightmare

"D" is for desperately trying to simulate
What it was that was all right
Three quarters of an hour ago
That had led him to be in a position
On the brink of a mission
On the brink of an episode

He's nearing the brink but he thinks first
A parallel universe perhaps could be the perfect scene
He's nearing the brink but he thinks first
A parallel universe perhaps could be the perfect scene
He's nearing the brink but he thinks first
A parallel universe perhaps could be the perfect scene
He's nearing the brink but he thinks first
A parallel
I think you should know you're his favorite worst nightmare

"D" is for delightful
And try and keep your trousers on
You should know you're his favorite worst nightmare

    My fave line: "He's nearing the brink but he thinks first/The parallel universe perhaps could be the perfect scene"

    It sounds like a suicide attempt to me... He's going towards the brink but he doubts... and "the parallel universe" might mean the afterlife, someplace else.

    I love that little twist when it goes "The parallel... I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW YOU'RE HIS FAVOURITE WORST NIGHTMARE"

    I looove it, it gets me every time.

Corpse I Fell In Love With
Gadjits, The
He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

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.
