Where were you
My thoughts screamed
Do you even love me
Oh how my heart ached
Abandoned to the horror
Of my solitude
Where were you
Lifeless and loved less
Double shifts and overtime
Dont make sense to a lonely child
Your absence is the void
Growing within my soul
Where were you
Lifeless and loved less
How the tears came so easily
Now that
You have departed from this world
An age has come
When questions are abound
Inquiries into your existence and life
I then recalled something you said
I never claimed to have all the answers
Although you thought I should
I was driven by love
Motivated by you
I tried to provide the best that I could
I couldnt grasp their
Meaning that solemn day
But your tone moved through my heart
Driven by love
I have kept them safe
Since that solemn day
Knowing that they would one day
Ring true
Driven by love
So I sit here alone
Again while he is dreaming
Thinking of you
And everything I did not understand
Forgiveness
As I hold him in my arms
All I think of is you
I finally understand
What kind of hell
You were going through
We are all driven by love
We are all sometimes sacrificed
For the sake of love

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”

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.
