When we're together
I am alone
I doddle down the street
Shuffle my feet
Don't want to go home

There's an antique store
I go inside
All I got on me is only 20 bucks
And my pride
That's when I see them

My new tango shoes
There are my treasure
They are so cool
My new tango shoes
They are my ticket
My tools
My new tango shoes
There gonna help me dance away from you
My new tango shoes

Like Cinderella
I am transformed
Suddenly I'm taller your smaller
I am reborn
With new courage
I go downtown
To find you sitting at our table
Girls all around
And they see my

My new tango shoes
They are my treasure
They are so cool
My new tango shoes
They are my ticket
My tools
My new tango shoes
There gonna help me dance away from you
My new tango shoes

See my sexy man in my process
Right before your angry eyes
I stick around close in between my lips
I turn on my heel
And dance out of your life

You told me you love me
That was untrue
Now that were over
This dance is for you
Tango

My new tango shoes
They are my treasure
They are so cool
My new tango shoes
They are my ticket
My tools
My new tango shoes
There gonna help me dance away from you
My new tango shoes
They are my treasure
They are so cool
My new tango shoes
They are my ticket
My tools
My new tango shoes
There gonna help me dance away from you
My new tango shoes

    This song's cool, but the lyrics are a bit off. The video's funny!

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

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.

Dreamwalker
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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
