And to it all
Falling down
Who's in touch with everyone who ever stood their ground?
If you could then I know I do to
Lost inside a maze of problems with you

Is it so hard
Every time I say
Won't you come and fight with me
Because if I thought I were you

Every word I say
Would come out wrong and make you look the other way
You know, if I thought I were you,
Time and time again
And if I did we won't be friends

And tell me I'm brought down again
Never the one I'd explain

Can't you ..., don't you lie
There've been times when I've felt good because you're hurt inside
No that's not true I'm just acting tough
I don't know what it is I'm feeling
I don't know if you are enough

Is it so hard
Every time I say
Won't yo you come and fight with me
Because if I thought I were yo you

Every word I say
Would come out wrong and make yo you look the other way
Yo you know, if I thought I were yo you,
Time and time again
And if I did we won't be friends

And tell me, I'll fall down again
Never the one, I'll explain

So answer that you never know
Don't want it back it seems to go
It's so hard, so hard

'Cause I feel alive and it feels alright
Keep on telling me that its over please
And I feel the one
Lying in the sun

(Could I, should I, would i....)
It's so hot in here
It's the clothes I wear
Don't you even ask

I won't let you pass
But my guard is up
And you stole his care
(could I, should I, would i....)

    I tried submitting the correct lyrics, but they were never posted .. so i'll just put them here.


    "...And She Told Me To Leave"

    And to it all falling down; Losing touch with everyone who ever stood their ground. If you could, then I know I do too. Lost inside a maze a problems with you.

    Is it so hard everytime I say.. wont you come and fight with me?

    Because if I thought i'd win you, every word I say would come out wrong and make you look the other way. You know, if I thought i'd win you time and time again.. And if I did, we wont be friends. And tell me i've brought down again.. Never the one i'd expect.

    Can't you.. Don't you lie.. There have been times when i've felt good because you're hurt inside. No! That's not true, i'm just acting tough.. I don't know what it is i'm feeling, I don't know if you are enough.

    Is it so hard everytime I say.. wont you come and fight with me?

    Because if I thought i'd win you, every word I say would come out wrong and make you look the other way. You know, if I thought i'd win you time and time again.. And if I did, we wont be friends. And tell me i've fallen down again.. Never the one i'd expect.

    So answer that "you never know" .. "dont want it back".. it seems to go.. It's so hard.. So hard..

    Cause I feel alive, and it feels alright. Keep on telling me that it's over, please. And I feel the burn lying in the sun. It's so hot in here, its the clothes I wear. Don't you even ask, I wont let you pass. Now my guard is up, and you stole this care.

    Could I? Should I? Would I?


    Anyways, this song is about a series of arguments with your good friend, which possibly leads to the end of a friendship.

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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
