There is a mask
That covers up one's true intentions
Once removed, things become very clear
Analyze behavior patterns to see beneath

The person that is presented to you
Vulnerable through trust
Life is a twisted maze of obstacles
Presented by people with a secret face

What's on the outside
Is not always all that is real
Live by caution, what I feel
When things are reversed

People are shown for what they are
The truth is revealed
Banish the false
Pacifying moments with an acquired disguise to obtain

The things they want
By the anguish of someone else
Materialistic motives are fulfilled
Cherish the true

Vulnerable through trust
Life is a twisted maze of obstacles
Presented by people with a secret face

    ^ hahahaha, you wish.

    Well its pretty simple. It's about how some people are not who they seem to be.

    The first Verse says: peoples true intentions are hidden until they do some act that reveals who they really are. By behavior, or some other thing like that.

    The Chorus: This one seems to be how people are obstacles, esp. the ones with a secret intention.

    Verse 2: Just because they look a certain way doesn't mean they act that way, like people that look all raggady, could be the smartest, and wealthiest person. But if things are reversed like in a mirror, It'll show who you are on the inside.

    Bridge: Talking about peoples gain from Materialistic things. and saying cherish the truth.

    well thats it, From the looks of it again, it could be about the Gov't and how they hide behind a mask, and have another intention hidden.

Cajun Girl
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”

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
