I always have an alibi
You allow me there
But tonight I have no conscience
So what comes after that

You're coming down already
This high won't see us through
Nothing I can change now
I've learnt to lie to you

What happened to me
What happened to you
You were pulling me on
I was leading you through
Lie to me

I always had a vision
That love would see us through
But what's the point in wishing
When my dreams depend on you
Gonna need support now
Your friends can gather round
And you can tell them stories
On how I let you down

What happened to me
What happened to you
You were pulling me on
I was leading you through
Lie to me

Deceiving is believing
Deceiving is believing
Deceiving is believing
Deceiving is believing

I'm much too young to be cynical
It's you that makes me miserable
Can you tell a lie through a smile
In bed we always deviate
And I'm the one who comes too late
These things hide inside of my mind, my mind

I always have an alibi
You allow me there
But tonight I have no conscience
So what comes after that

What happened to me
What happened to you
You were pulling me on
I was leading you through
Lie to me

Lie to me
Lie to me
Deceiving is believing
Believing
Believing
Believing

Believe

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.

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”

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
