Un début de janvier, si j'ai bien su compter
Reste de fête ou bien vœux très appuyés
De Ruth ou de Moïshé, lequel a eu l'idée?
Qu'importe j'ai gagné la course, et parmi des milliers
Nous avons tous été vainqueurs, même le dernier des derniers
Une fois au moins les meilleurs, nous qui sommes nés
Au creux de nos mères qu'il fait bon mûrir
Et puis j'ai vu de la lumière alors je suis sorti
Et j'ai dit
Bonne idée

Y avait du soleil, des parfums, de la pluie
Chaque jour un nouveau réveil, chaque jour une autre nuit
Des routes et des motards et des matches de rugby
Des spaghettis, Frédéric Dard et Johnny Winter aussi
On m'a dit c'est qu'une étincelle avant l'obscurité
Juste un passage, un arc en ciel, une étrange absurdité
Des frères, des tendres, des trésors à chercher
Des vertiges à prendre, à comprendre et des filles à caresser
J'me suis dit
Bonne idée

Et puis y a toi qui débarque en ouvrant grand mes rideaux
Et des flots de couleurs éclatent et le beau semble bien plus beau
Et rien vraiment ne change mais tout est différent
Comme ces festins qu'on mange seul ou en les partageant

Je marchais au hasard le soir était tombé
Avec mon sac et ma guitare j'étais un peu fatigué
Tout était si désert, où me désaltérer ?
Et puis j'ai vu de la lumière et je vous ai trouvés

Bonne idée

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
