Bat ya da çık
가사의 "Sink or swim!"
(And watches everything)
So you know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is watching you too
You've never felt waves this strong
Just save yourself
I learned to sink or swim,
but you can't even dive right in
"You could never do it," I couldn't be happier to say.* I take aim at doubt, right between the eyes.
Some random sends me support and empathy, now they’re made complicit.
If it's sink or swim, choose to swim and at least you'll be a challenger.
Caught in the rush, lost in the flow, in over my head I want to go
The river's deep, the river's wide, the river's water is alive
So sink or swim, I'm diving in
Paul McCartney - We All Stand Together
You'll get it right
Win or lose, sink or swim
One thing is certain well never give in
One OK Rock - Save Yourself (Japanese Ver.)
You’ve never felt waves this strong
Just save yourself
I learned to sink or swim, but you can’t even dive right in
Save yourself
France is on the move, it's sink or swim, sink or swim, sink or swim
Sink or swim!
Bob Geldof - The Great Song of Indifference
Na na na etc.
I don't care if you sink or swim,
lock me out or let me in.
Rudyard Kipling - The Thousandth Man
But if he finds you and you find him,
The rest of the world don't matter;
For the Thousandth Man will sink or swim
With you in any water.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I guess I never noticed, how it came creepin in
My enemy emotion, but I can't sink or swim
I say I'm feeling hopeless
Mousse T. - Is it 'cos I'm cool
Is it 'cos I'm wrong
That you jump right in with no discipline
Baby sink or swim
Is it 'cos we're friends why you use my name just to entertain yeah
Does who we are fade out like a photograph?
'Cause if I could I'd do it all again
The good times, bad times, sink or swim
The sea comes to die
in our shattered glass
where one loves, sink or swim
Funny stories which I should have forgotten a long time ago.
Will I sink or swim?
Should I go or turn back?
Tom Morello - Let’s Get the Party Started
Just wanna run, will I ever, ever be free
It’s now or never
It’s time to sink or swim
Blue skies or tidal waves
I'm with you either way
To sink or to swim
With you, ooh, ooh ooh oh
Run until our lungs cave in
Tell all the worst lines, worst lines
Wait until they sink or swim
I break building blocks of pessimism and optimism alternately and be hurt each time when I look back.
The funny story that I should had already forgotten.
Will I sink or swim? Will I go or come back? Will it be rainy or sunny? Will I do or stop?
Will I win or lose? Can I stand up? Can I start afresh? Will I live or die?
