The 1980s TV show Oshin was a rare Asian global blockbuster that had a lasting cultural impact.

The broadcaster denies trying to prevent Fedez from condemning homophobia at a televised concert.

It all began with the bright light
The bright light and the noise
The chaos of the senses
And the scream of desire

Touchin’ and bein’ touched
A million lose ends to tie up
Tickin’ of the clock
And the cradle rock

The colors stand still
And then they move around
Comin’ in and out of focus
Upside down

Empty winter trees
How space feels
Love of the soft
Flowers and the sky

One fine day
The chaos subsides
Bleeds into awareness
And a lifetime of surprise

The beauty of your mother’s eyes
The pain when you fall
You drink it in and marvel at it all
But you never really figure it out
You get used to it

The babble of the family
And the dumb TV
Roar of the traffic
And the thunder of jets

Chemicals in the water
Drugs in the food
The heat of the kitchen
And the beat of the system

The attitude of authority
And the laws and the rules
Hit me square in the face
First morning at school

The heroes and the zeros
The first love of my life
When to kiss and to kick

And to keep your head down
When they’re choosin’ the sides

I was never any good at it
I was terrified most of the time
I never got over it
I got used to it

Alone in the city
At seventeen
With the hollow, the lonely
The drowning and the drowned

I was made to feel worthless, the wretched and the mean
Beat me up like a weapon
I can’t run away from or find a way ’round
Holdin’ on, holdin’ on

The greed and the missiles
Exploding somewhere every day
Hideous dark secrets under the sea
And in holes in the ground

The cold war’s gone
But those bastards’ll find us another one
They’re here to protect you, don’t you know?
So get used to it, get used to it

Oh, the clash of religions
And the loaded prayers
Information the face of starvation
And the state of the nation

The sense that it’s useless
And the fear to try
Not believin’ the leaders, the media that feeds us
Livin’ with the big lie

You get used to it
Hey, you get used to it
It’s okay, it’s okay, you get used to it

Marlène Schiappa condemns a scene in which young brides are supposed to prove their virginity.

[Verse 1]
I know my way to your place
Like the back of my hand
There's a key on this chain
That'll spin your lock and let me in
And I'm thinkin' 'bout us again
I'm thinkin' 'bout cavin' in when

[Chorus]
I shouldn't stop right now and go back home
Turn on that TV, stare at the wall and just sleep alone
Never turn down your block
I know I need to not
Get too close 'cause you know that I'll cross that line
You say you miss me, your kiss hits me one more time
Don't wanna give us one more shot
I know I need to not
I need to not, I need to not

[Verse 2]
These lights flashing
Red light means I'm two turns from your street
The one goin' off in my head
Ain't slowin' down anything

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I'm thinkin' 'bout seein' you
I'm thinkin' about what I'll do when
[Chorus]
I shouldn't stop right now and go back home

Turn on that TV, stare at the wall and just sleep alone
Never turn down your block
I know I need to not
Get too close 'cause you know that I'll cross that line
You say you miss me, your kiss hits me one more time
Don't wanna give us one more shot
I know I need to not
Oh, and I need to not, I need to not

[Post-Chorus]
Oh
Yeah, I need to not

[Bridge]
I need to not touch you
I need to not look in your eyes
Need to come to my senses
And get the hell out of your driveway

[Chorus]
I shouldn't stop right now and go back home
Turn on that TV, stare at the wall and just sleep alone
Never turn down your block
I know I need to not
Get too close 'cause you know that I'll cross that line
You say you miss me, your kiss hits me one more time
Don't wanna give us one more shot
I know I need to not
I need to not, I need to not
I need to not, I need to not

It’s beautiful,
It’s bittersweet,
You’re like a broken home to me
I take a shot of memories and black out like an empty street
I fill my days with the way you walk
And fill my nights with broken dreams
I make up lies inside my head
Like one day you’ll come back to me

Now I’m not holding on
Not holding on, not holding on
I’m just depressed that you’re gone
Not holding on, not holding on

[Chorus:]
Beautiful mistakes
I make inside my head
She’s naked in my bed
And now we lie awake
Making beautiful mistakes
I wouldn’t take em back
I’m in love with the past
And now we lie awake
Making beautiful mistakes

Nah nah nah, in my head
Nah nah nah, in my bed
Nah nah nah, making beautiful mistakes

It’s pitiful
I can’t believe how everyday gets worse for me
I take a break, I cut you off
To keep myself from looking soft
I fill my nights with the way you was
And still wake up with broken dreams
I make these lies inside my head,
Feel like they’re my reality

Now I’m not holding on
Not holding on, not holding on
I’m just depressed that you’re gone
Not holding on, not holding on

[Chorus:]
Beautiful mistakes
I make inside my head
She’s naked in my bed
And now we lie awake
Making beautiful mistakes
I wouldn’t take em back
I’m in love with the past
And now we lie awake
Making beautiful mistakes

Nah nah nah, in my head
Nah nah nah, in my bed
Nah nah nah, making beautiful mistakes

[Megan:]
You did me wrong ‘cause I let you
Usually I like my situations beneficial
Doing something different, got me looking stupid
The only way I’m coming back to you, is if you dream it
Lucid, Prove it
If you made a promise, then keep it
Why you wanna lie and then get mad, I don’t believe it
But really I was just doing fine without you
Looking fine, sippin’ wine, dancing on club couches
Baby, why you wanna lose me like you don’t need me?
Like I don’t block you and you still try to reach me?
How you figure out how to call from me from the TV
You runnin’ out of chances and this time I mean it,
Yeah

Bet you miss my love, all in your bed
Now ya stressin’ out, pulling your hair
Smelling your pillows and wishing I was there
Sliding down to shower wall looking sad
I know it’s hard to let go, I’m the best.
Best you ever had and best you gonna get
If we break up I don’t wanna be friends,
You’re toxic

[Chorus:]
Beautiful mistakes
I make inside my head
She’s naked in my bed
And now we lie awake
Making beautiful mistakes
I wouldn’t take em back
I’m in love with the past
And now we lie awake
Making beautiful mistakes

Nah nah nah, in my head
Nah nah nah, in my bed
Nah nah nah, making beautiful mistakes
(x2)

Nah nah nah
Nah nah nah
Nah nah nah

[Verse 1]
Houston, think we got some problems
Find somebody who can solve ’em
I feel like a spaceman
I feel like a spaceman
TV tells me what to think
Bad news, maybe I should drink
‘Cause I feel like a spaceman
I feel like a spaceman

[Pre-Chorus]
They say it’s a phase, it’ll change if we vote
And I pray that it will, but I know that it won’t
I’m a spaceman
Yeah, I’m a spaceman
And the numbers are high but we keep goin’ down
‘Cause we ain’t supposed to live with nobody around
I’m a spaceman
Yeah, I’m a spaceman

[Chorus]
And I’m talking to you
But it never feels like it comes through
I’m on my own, I’m a spacеman
Yeah, yeah, I’m a spaceman
From thе dark side of the moon
I know that it’s sad but it’s true
I’m tryna get home, I’m a spaceman
Yeah, yeah, I’m a spaceman
Out on my own

[Verse 2]
Mask off minute I get home
All safe now that I’m alone
Almost like a spaceman
I feel like a spaceman
Keep on thinking that we’re close
No drugs still overdose
I’m in outer space, man
I feel like a spaceman

[Chorus]
And I’m talking to you
But it never feels like it comes through
Out on my own, I’m a spaceman
Yeah, yeah, I’m a spaceman
From the dark side of the moon
I know that it’s sad but it’s true
I’m tryna get home, I’m a spaceman
Yeah, yeah, I’m a spaceman
Out on my own

[Bridge]
Hard times make you love the view
Right now think I’m getting through
Only way that I can
But I feel like a spaceman

[Chorus]
And I’m talking to you
But it never feels like it comes through
Out on my own, I’m a spaceman
Yeah, yeah, I’m a spaceman
From the dark side of the moon
I know that it’s sad but it’s true
I’m tryna get home, I’m a spaceman
Yeah, yeah, I’m a spaceman
Out on my own

Don’t wanna be alone
Don’t wanna be
Don’t wanna be out on my own
Don’t wanna be alone
Don’t wanna be

[Intro]
Smoov, what's good, baby?

[Chorus]
What's best for me ain't always best for you
I ain't choose the life, it chose me, just fit the shoe
My closest homie told me, "do what you do
"f*ck what they gon' say, you making plays and staying true"
That's what we do
'Cause what's best for me ain't always best for you
I ain't choose the life, it chose me, just fit the shoe
My closest homie told me, "do what you do
"f*ck what they gon' say, don't break, they [?] like how we do"

[Post-Chorus]
Don't watch me watch TV, you might just miss a beat
Or opportunity to be just what you're supposed to be
Don't watch me watch TV, you might just miss a beat
Or opportunity to change your luck, change it up

[Verse 1]
Switched plans, but I never switched sides
Might land, but I'm always gonna glide
Slid in at the right time
She gon' follow me around though, when I ain't in my right mind
On a wave like it's white blind
Get rich, a nigga die trying, looking for a lifeline
For the right sign, all of my grind
Try to tell you, life's a bitch with some nice [?]
[Verse 2]
Everything I do ain't meant for you

Matter of fact, half the shit I do be way too lit for you
And I ain't mean nothing by it, we just gotta speak the truth
There can't be no us if we can't be us individuals

[Verse 3]
This life, it chose me, this shit get lonely
Four in the morning, all in my mind, I can't think
For that cold heat, start getting cold feet
What is you scared of? You fed up?
Then get up, stop wasting your time

[Chorus]
What's best for me ain't always best for you
I ain't choose the life, it chose me, just fit the shoe
My closest homie told me, "do what you do
"f*ck what they gon' say, you making plays and staying true"
That's what we do
'Cause what's best for me ain't always best for you
I ain't choose the life, it chose me, just fit the shoe (It chose me)
My closest homie told me, "do what you do
"f*ck what they gon' say, don't break, they [?] like how we do"

[Post-Chorus]
Don't watch me watch TV, you might just miss a beat
Or opportunity to be just what you're supposed to be
Don't watch me watch TV, you might just miss a beat
Or opportunity to change your luck, change it up

You think you’re so smart
You think you’re so cool
Because you won big
When the divorce judge ruled

He said sell the house
Give the money to you
But you haven’t won yet:
Guess what I’m gonna do?
I’m gonna blow myself up

People say that it’s dumb
And I’m an unbalanced man
But the logic is clear
In my foolproof plan (As follows:)
I’m gonna blow myself up
So you don’t get what you want
And I’m gonna be dead
So you’ll feel really bad
And you’ll wish that you’d been
A little nicer to me

I’m gonna blow myself up

It’s the perfect solution
I heartily recommend it
For every slight and intrusion
And every time you’re offended
Your boss is a jerk
A long line for one clerk
You can’t find your keys
Nothing good on TV
Just blow yourself up

Kids won’t do their chores
Just blow yourself up
The dog peed on the floor
Just blow yourself up
The waiter’s taking to long
Just blow yourself up
Got no idea for a song
Just blow yourself up

[Chorus]
She makes home feel like a home in my head (In my head)
And when I'm with her, I feel hope again
I swear the weather on the coast all depends
On where we are but it's still home in the end

[Verse]
I felt hopeful (For once)
You've got all of (My trust)
You have no clue (What you've done)
We were drowning (In love)
I lost myself (In us)
I don't know where to go
And who to call when things get like this
My car ran outta gas
You said you could pick me up, but I feel like an asshole
Offered you some cash, you declined, it didn't matter
I was full of glee and you were full of laughter
Laughter, and after, we went home and watched shit
Turned on the TV, kickin' back, we were exhausted
Flipped through channels 3 to 36 while eating Chex mix
Couldn't find a thing so we resorted back to Netflix
'Til we passed out and then I got up off of the couch

I picked you up in my arms and wiped the drool from your mouth
Both half asleep but I still stumbled silently through the house
Until I came upon a path that I've never known about
And then I saw some lights in my reflection of doubt
My conscience beheading North while my heart trips to the South
And honestly, I'm feelin' torn in which direction I route
Because I believe in everything we're building around
[Chorus]
She makes home feel like a home in my head
And when I'm with her, I feel hope again
I swear the weather on the coast all depends
On where we are but it's still home in the end

[Outro]
Woah, woah, woah, oh, oh
Woah, woah, woah, oh, oh
Woah, woah, woah, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
Woah, woah, woah, oh, oh
Woah, woah, woah, oh, oh
Woah, woah, woah, oh, oh
Woah, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh

I think that we’re headed down the wrong road (I swear)
Fake’s real and they say real’s fake woke (You see this?)
False prophets on these screens everywhere we go
But what did you expect when dumb people got smartphones
More memes cool make it all a big joke
Crown your fake kings and let them sit up on your fake thrones
You’re young now but just wait until you grow old
When life gets real you’ll remember all these words I wrote
I went roaming walked multiple ways
For 40 nights 40 sleeps yes multiple days (I tried)
In the desert no food water searching for the answers
But you listen to these people who got nothing to say (You wouldn’t listen)
You wouldn’t know real if it slapped you right in the face
Ain’t for the culture I can tell by the shit you embrace (I see it)
I’m in Gotham but my minds in a different place
So f*ck your co-signs, money, and your radio play
I be shaking when I write my music
I’ve been anti-violent but don’t push me ’cause I just might do it (Don’t push me)
They won’t give you no credit ’cause they know you’ll use it
And that’s what happens when the master starts fearing the student (They learn)
In this city you’re a number they don’t see you as human (They don’t see)
Just a puppet they replace for their games and amusement
In a city full of angels with the biggest influence
I see demons with a platform who just f*cking abuse it

In Gotham…

Everybody knows everybody (Everybody)
If you ain’t got a blue check you ain’t anybody (f*ck)
Redo, repeat, sleep, double tap, see copy
Lost souls unaware they’re turning into dead zombies (Zombies)
Everywhere you look is plastic all fabricated
Everything you’ve seen on TV was exaggerated (It’s so fake)
Don’t nobody see you till you get a million
Followers and when you do they treat you
Like you’re someone and you’re validated
What do you do?
How much money you make?
Who do you know?
What do you drive?
Where do you stay? (Where do you stay?)
And while you’re answering those questions
They’ll be calculating how much of it they can see themselves trying to come in and take
If you’re fragile don’t you even try come to this place (Don’t come here)
They gon’ build you just to break you then rebuild you to break

Let you reach your own limit then heroically save
And that’s exactly how Gotham turns you into a slave

In Gotham
Everyone goes and they lose their souls
‘Cause they can’t control in Gotham
Everyone lies
It’s an eye for an eye
You will lose your minds in Gotham
Everyone goes and they lose their souls ’cause they can’t control in Gotham
Living in Gotham
Living in Gotham
Living in Gotham
Living in Gotham

Nobody’s from here
But everybody comes here
Wanting to be famous
Till they realize the price of fame brings close everything that they once feared
Consumed by the algorithm it becomes clear
Life’s a simulation all controlled by a puppeteer
Blind people leading blind people driving cars
To a destination that is unclear while they can’t steer
1 year 2 years 3 years 4
Drugs alcohol addiction morgue
Fake friends women gold-digging as a sport
Who convince you, you should live a whole life you can’t afford
Nobody sees you, you’re continuously ignored
Everybody wants fame they don’t care what it’s for
They don’t wanna build theirs,
They’re just tryna take yours
This is dog eat dog in this messed up world

You think you need this place but you don’t
Happiness is not a physical place you call home
Did you ever wonder why you feel like you feel
When you take that time away from your phone
Fake shit goes viral we know this won’t
They’ll say they care but will never show
Gotham isn’t just a place it’s a mind state
Watered by the thoughts that manifest what you grow

In Gotham
Everyone goes and they lose their souls ’cause they can’t control in Gotham
Everyone lies
It’s an eye for an eye
You will lose your minds in Gotham
Everyone goes and they lose their souls
‘Cause they can’t control in Gotham
Living in Gotham
Living in Gotham
Living in Gotham
Living in Gotham

Don’t tell ’em how you feel ’cause I promise they won’t call back
Everybody’s in it for money so it’s all bad
Killing off my demons I’m rapping this in all black
I ain’t gotta
I ain’t gotta
I ain’t gotta
I ain’t gotta
Prove nothing to Gotham
They ain’t done nothing for me… for me

[Verse 1]
Were they too concealed in the TV screen?
No book I read reminds me of this scene
A storyline hung out to dry
An ending unpredictable it seems

[Chorus]
So if I don't tread on an aisle
And if I save some money, and invest it in a little while
Untouchable and true
Because you're looking at me thinking why don't I look like you

[Verse 2]
Follow right behind them with a band
Knowing that you cannot understand
Prodigious wills to harm for thrills
And harvesting the sorrow of this land

[Chorus]
And if I don't tread on an aisle
And if I save some money, and invest it in a little while

Untouchable and true
Because you're looking at me thinking why don't I look like you
Yeah, you're looking at me thinking why don't I look like you

[Bridge]
There is something
There's not nothing
Exist in this place
So fragment me
Don't lament me
I will not erase
[Chorus]
And if I don't tread on an aisle
And if I save some money, and invest it in a little while
Untouchable and true
Because you're looking at me thinking why don't I look like you
Yeah, you're looking at me thinking why don't I look like you
