Bummed out again
Buy early business friend
The smell of fear is bigger than you think

Hey don't do it
Do it

Change seem to fit
In the end you just feel sick
And then you choke on an anesthetic

Hey don't do it
Lewis
Lewis
Save yourself the pain
You'll never get there
Lewis
Save yourself the pain
It never really matters here

We never noticed
We never understood
He just get crushed to fit
He never even smile

At the best, it's the best,
It's the best day I know

Lewis
Save yourself the pain
You'll never get there
Lewis
Save yourself the pain
It never really matters here

Lewis
Mistreated
I call you blue
Lewis
Mistreated
I call you blue

I don't want to talk about it
I don't want to talk about it
I don't want to talk about Lewis! Lewis! Lewis!
I don't want to talk about it
Lewis! Lewis! Lewis!

    Well, I'm thinkin' that this song is about some guy named Lewis.

    Yeah.

    Ok, there's more. Lewis is just so sick of just being another "worker ant" in the daily hustle and bustle of work and life, being just treated like dirt by everyone and told what to do (being crushed to fit), and all of the illusions of happiness that run through the media every day (take for example, most "popular" music is about love, but they're so fake that they seem like they're "under anasthetic). But no matter what he thinks he SHOULD do, the speaker coaxes him not to end his life, since we never even noticed or understood how much Lewis was going through. Now it would be the best day of his life, since now that they knew his problem, they can help him. I believe that this song is about how we ought NOT to commit suicide, and that many people are good. There is a great meaning to everything. It wasn't just POP there's the universe; there was a master planner in charge of everything. There is just too much proof to say there is no God. He definitely exists.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

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.
