Remember when there was nothing else to do
But lie in bed and
Wonder how it was always up to you
And no one else and
Early mornings, made by warnings
What's the point of the alarm that I'm ignoring?
It's even raining, I'm not complaining
But waking up is hard to do, so

Turn my head, it's back to bed with no delay
Can't be bothered by the phone ten times today
Why get up? My morning doesn't even start 'til two
Forget reality, waking up is hard to do

Remember when we would hang out every day?
And we would rather
Not be told what to do or what to say
'Cause nothing mattered

Never boring, slept in mornings
Not ashamed of the habits that I'm forming
It's not important if days are shortened
I can't make time when nothing's new
'Cause waking up is hard to do, so

Turn my head, it's back to bed with no delay
Can't be bothered by the phone ten times today
Why get up? My morning doesn't even start 'til two
Forget reality, waking up is hard to do

What's a day when it all ends up the same
And lasts forever
Can't complain when there's nothing there to blame
And things can't be better
Summer evenings, teenage grieving's
Got no problem with the life that I've been leading
No concentration on hesitation
I can't make time when nothing's new
'Cause waking up is hard to do, so

Turn my head, it's back to bed with no delay
Can't be bothered by the phone ten times today
Why get up? My morning doesn't even start 'til two
Forget reality, waking up is hard to do

    Mine too! This song's about laziness and depression too. Just wanting to sleep all day, and everything is fucked and pointless. Day after day... But nothing is really wrong, not that you can put your finger on, so there's nothing to blame. Nothing to do, nothing to see... There's no reason to worry about shortening the day, you're not missing a thing. Don't talk to me about bad habbits, I'm not ashamed. I will sleep all day, I don't want to answer the phone. Reminscing, remembering when you used to actually do things, you and your friends, and you weren't bored... and now you just hate everything and just want to sleep lfie away... Ahh this song is sooo good.

    As soon as I heard this song, I was addicted to Sum 41. This (and Handle This) is by far my fav song. So when i was at the Sum 41 concert on April 15, I was sooo stoked when they played it. Anyway, back to what I think it means...I think it's just about growing up, not having to go to school or have any worries about anything. If anything bothers you (like that something where theres nothing to blame) then you can sleep it away, because you have nothing else to waste your time on...I dunno but this song rocks.

    What’s a day when it all ends up the same, and lasts forever? Can’t complain when there’s nothing there to blame, and things can’t be better.

    those lines describe exactly how i used to be.. and still sorta am.. i was so depressed but there was no reason for it, i tryed making excuses, to be depressed. i love Sum 41's songs because theyre all about things that regular people go through.. i know, i can sure relate to their songs.

    Like technicalitea, I used to be like this, and still am sometimes. This is why people love Sum 41. :) Not very often I find music I can relate to.

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran

From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.
