What, never say what you mean
All I hear is a scream
Never say that to me
Never say that to me
Wait, wipe that shit off your face
Let's don't stop till we bleed
The more you spit out your mouth the less I believe

Denial seems it had to come
Relied on me to say it all
Denial has left you all alone

I, can all that shit that you said
Ever make any sense
Where did you run to, bitch
While I was holding my breath?
What's sacred faded into nothing
Never put that on me
Never put that on me

Denial seems it had to come
Relied on me to say it all
Denial has left you all alone

Denial seems it had to come
Relied on me to say it all
Denial has left you all alone
Waste

Denial seems it had to come
Relied on me to say it all
Denial has left you all alone

Denial seems it had to come
Relied on me to say it all
Denial has left you all alone

    Personally, I think the song is about someone he used to love, but she would never admit any of it. She made him say everything about what they felt for each other, and he got sick of trying to carry on a one-sided relationship so he's telling her to f*ck off now. Having been in a situation like that in the past, this song is very catharthic for me.

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.
