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.
Every phone call
Every single wasted breath
Is always taken down
There's at least a single paragraph a day
On numbers you left out
Single out a camera to focus on
Burn another bridge with your smile
It's a made up conversation
It's supposed to take you a while
There is a message from the company:
On your way to the park
There is an agent who will greet you
Hand off the plates and go dark
There is the danger of complicity
Stay on target
All I need is a spark
Stay on point
If they can see through your duplicity
Keep to the mission
Check if your wineglass is marked
Stay in the moment
One false turn and it all starts again
In a villa on the outskirts of Taormina
They're staking your room out
On a rogue tip off a busker in Vienna
Who rolled you once down south
Churchill even painted a burro there
Really isn't part of your style
Is this a made up confrontation?
Are you keeping us in denial?
You dropped your boarding pass for Tuscany
Your train is prepped to embark
There is a separate continuity
The poisoned watermark
One false turn and it all starts
All over again
Every single wasted breath
Is always taken down
There's at least a single paragraph a day
On numbers you left out
Single out a camera to focus on
Burn another bridge with your smile
It's a made up conversation
It's supposed to take you a while
There is a message from the company:
On your way to the park
There is an agent who will greet you
Hand off the plates and go dark
There is the danger of complicity
Stay on target
All I need is a spark
Stay on point
If they can see through your duplicity
Keep to the mission
Check if your wineglass is marked
Stay in the moment
One false turn and it all starts again
In a villa on the outskirts of Taormina
They're staking your room out
On a rogue tip off a busker in Vienna
Who rolled you once down south
Churchill even painted a burro there
Really isn't part of your style
Is this a made up confrontation?
Are you keeping us in denial?
You dropped your boarding pass for Tuscany
Your train is prepped to embark
There is a separate continuity
The poisoned watermark
One false turn and it all starts
All over again

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday
Bee Gees
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 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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Why are there no comments on this song????? Amazing somg and one of my favourites off Information Retrieved.
Anyway, I think it's pretty suggestive of someone being followed by some government agents. Maybe a nod to X-Files, following the sci-fi theme of a lot of their work. But it mainly makes me think of Alexander Litvinenko, the ex-KGB who was poisoned they believe through a drink somewhere.
The lyrics are about a secret agent, but I\'m not sure the song is about that. I think it\'s about someone\'s narcissistic fantasy about being a secret agent. Like being watched, having weird meetings and conversations, but always having a starring role in their own thoughts.
I think this song is about someone who is high ranking in American government. Could be a president. Could be an intelligence agent. I feel like there are multiple references to WWII (Churchill;Tuscany; the company). If this is true, then the song is about being a paranoid leader. Facing a major time of strife.
