You and I should get away for awhile
I just wanna be alone with your smile
Buy some candy and cigarettes and we'll get in my car
We'll blast the stereo and we'll drive to Madagascar

'Cause when I'm with you there's nothing I wouldn't do
I just want to be your only one
I'm grasping out at straws
Thinking back to what I saw
That night on the floor when we were all alone

My love life was getting so bland
There are only so many ways I can make love with my hand
Sometimes it makes me want to laugh
Sometimes I want to take my toaster in the bath

'Cause when I'm with you there's nothing I wouldn't do
I just want to be your only one
I'm grasping out at straws
Thinking back to what I saw
That night on the floor when we were all alone

Who's gonna be the odd man out?
I don't want to be the odd man out
Is this going to be the end?
Or are you going to be my new girlfriend?

    the song is called M+M's cuz mark had an old girlfriend named michelle. (mark+michelle) This is my favorite blink song EVER. The song is pretty much about a guy who finds a girl that makes him happy. All he wants to do is spend time with her and be around her as much as possible. But unfortunately for him, this girl doesn't like him as much he likes her. He doesn't want to be the "odd man out", meaning, he wants to be her main man amongst all of the other guys that want her. Its a really great song. Now more than ever I identify with these lyrics. I wish blink had made more albums like their first 3, all of these "high-school themes" seem to have much more impact on my life because they describe my life exactly.

    Hmm... No one's going to mention that lines 7-10 are about masturbation? Read between the lines, folks!

    Lines 11-12, "Sometimes it makes me want to laugh / Sometimes I want to take my toaster in the bath," are about the narrator's attitude toward his own situation (loneliness, yearning for this girl). Sometimes he has a good sense of humor about it, with maybe a bit of self-pity. But other times, he has mood swings and feels suicidal.

    The rest is basically a love song. He wants to take her on a date and not be left alone.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. 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.
