What am I gonna say, I get carried away
So sad when you're not around
Now what am I gonna do at the end of the day?
So sad, like some obstinate clown

I'm losing my mind
All of the time

So if you want my love
Don't put me in the middle of your hell
If you still need my love
Just don't put me in the middle of your hell
In the middle of your hell

I know that you're the one, thought I touched the sun
I fell when I found you
Oh how hard I tried, still I worry why
Why you don't want me too

Just take my hand
I wanna be your man

So if you want my love
Don't put me in the middle of your hell
If you still need my love
Just don't put me in the middle of your hell
In the middle of your hell

Don't put me in the middle of
Don't put me in the middle of
Don't put me in the middle of your hell
Don't put me in the middle of
Don't put me in the middle of
Don't put me in the middle of your hell

Don't put me in the middle of
Don't put me in the middle of
Don't put me in the middle of your hell
Don't put me in the middle of
Don't put me in the middle of
Don't put me in the middle of your hell
Don't put me in the middle of
Don't put me in the middle of
Don't put me in the middle of your hell

    Phenomenal song by the great Cheap Trick.

    I particularly dig the way Cheap Trick incorporate the middle-eight chord progression from The Beatles' "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" directly into the middle-eight of this song. Very cool (cheap) trick. They also tip their hats to The Beatles with the "oooooh" harmonies.

    In addition to being a great song in its own right, its also a great, sly tribute to The mighty Beatles.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Page
Ed Sheeran
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. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
