Pariah Posted May 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 You, with your words like knives And swords and weapons that you use against me You have knocked me off my feet again Got me feeling like I'm nothing You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard Calling me out when I'm wounded You, pickin' on the weaker man Well, you can take me down With just one single blow But you don't know what you don't know Someday, I'll be living in a big old city And all you're ever gonna be is mean Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me And all you're ever gonna be is mean Why you gotta be so mean? You, with your switching sides And your wildfire lies and your humiliation You have pointed out my flaws again As if I don't already see them I walk with my head down Trying to block you out, 'cause I'll never impress you I just wanna feel okay again I bet you got pushed around Somebody made you cold But the cycle ends right now 'Cause you can't lead me down that road And you don't know what you don't know Someday, I'll be living in a big old city And all you're ever gonna be is mean Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me And all you're ever gonna be is mean Why you gotta be so mean? And I can see you years from now in a bar Talking over a football game With that same big loud opinion But nobody's listening Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing But all you are is mean All you are is mean And a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean But someday, I'll be living in a big old city And all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me And all you're ever gonna be is mean (Why you gotta be so mean?) Someday, I'll be living in a big old city (Why you gotta be so mean?) And all you're ever gonna be is mean (Why you gotta be so mean?) Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me (Why you gotta be so mean?) And all you're ever gonna be is mean Why you gotta be so mean?

death tribble Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 Se um dia alguém perguntar por mim Diz que vivi pra te amar Antes de ti, só existi Cansado e sem nada pra dar Meu bem, ouve as minhas preces Peço que regresses, que me voltes a querer Eu sei que não se ama sozinho Talvez devagarinho possas voltar a aprender Meu bem, ouve as minhas preces Peço que regresses, que me voltes a querer Eu sei que não se ama sozinho Talvez devagarinho possas voltar a aprender Se o teu coração não quiser ceder Não sentir paixão, não quiser sofrer Sem fazer planos do que virá depois O meu coração pode amar pelos dois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa was a rolling stone. Wherever he laid his hat was his home. And when he died, all he left us was alone. Papa was a rolling stone, my son. Wherever he laid his hat was his home. And when he died, all he left us was alone." Hey, mama ! Is it true what they say that papa never worked a day in his life ? And, mama, some bad talk goin' round town sayin' that papa had three outside children and another wife, And that ain't right Heard them talking papa doing some store front preachin' Talked about saving souls and all the time leechin' Dealing in debt and stealing in the name of the Lord Mama just hung her head and said, "Papa was a rolling stone, my son. Wherever he laid his hat was his home. And when he died, all he left us was alone. Papa was a rolling stone. Wherever he laid his hat was his home. And when he died, all he left us was alone." Hey, mama, I heard papa called himself a "Jack Of All Trades" Tell me is that what sent papa to an early grave ? Folks say papa would beg, borrow, steal To pay his bills Hey, mama, Folks say papa never was much on thinking Spent most of his time chasing women and drinking Mama, I'm depending on you To tell me the truth Mama looked up with a tear in her eye and said, "Son,.. Papa was a rolling stone (well, well...) Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died, all he left us was alone Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died, all he left us was alone."

Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place) Such a lovely face Plenty of room at the Hotel California Any time of year (Any time of year) You can find it here Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat. Some dance to remember, some dance to forget So I called up the Captain, "Please bring me my wine" He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine" And still those voices are calling from far away, Wake you up in the middle of the night Just to hear them say... Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place) Such a lovely face They livin' it up at the Hotel California What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise) Bring your alibis Mirrors on the ceiling, The pink champagne on ice And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device" And in the master's chambers, They gathered for the feast They stab it with their steely knives, But they just can't kill the beast Last thing I remember, I was Running for the door I had to find the passage back To the place I was before "Relax, " said the night man, "We are programmed to receive.

Greywind Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 Lamm said the song is about trying to write a song in the middle of the night. The song's title is the time at which the song is set: 25 or 26 minutes before 4 AM (twenty-five or [twenty-]six [until] 4).[3][4] Because of the unique phrasing of the song's title, "25 or 6 to 4" has been interpreted to mean everything from a quantity of illicit drugs to the name of a famous person in code.[5] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
