Well I saw you with your hands above your head
Spinning around, trying not to look down
But you did and you fell hard, on the ground
And you stumbled around for a good ten minutes
And I said I'd never seen anyone look so dumb before
And you laughed and said I still know how to turn you on though

You're the only one who
Drags me kicking and screaming through fast dreams
And you're the only one who
Knows exactly what I mean

And I probably forgot to tell you this
Like that time when I forgot to tell you about the scar
Remember how uncomfortable that made you feel?
See you're not what I expected
But you're the only one who knows how to handle me
And you're such a great kisser and I know that you agree

And you're the only one who
Drags me kicking and screaming through fast dreams
You're the only one who
Knows exactly what I mean

I hope you can forgive me for that time
When I put my hand between your legs
And I said it was small, because its really not at all
I guess there's just a part of me that likes to bring you down
Just to keep you around, because the day that you realise
How amazing you are you're gonna leave me

You're the only one who
Holds my hair back when I'm drunk and get sick
You're the only one who
Knows exactly what I mean yeah

You're the only one who
Drags me kicking and screaming through fast dreams
And you're the only one who
Knows exactly what I mean, exactly what I mean

Well I saw you with your hands above your head
Spinning around, trying not to look down
But you did and you fell hard on the ground

    to me,...this song kind of hints upon an abusive relationship(both physical and mental)...I dont know,...I could be wrong,..but I just get that feeling.

    "i guess there's just a part of me that likes to bring you down just to keep you around cause the day that you realize how amazing you are you're gonna leave me"

    "and you're the only one who drags me kicking and screaming through fast dreams"

    I heard her talking about the song and she said that each chorus is about a different boyfriend and he feeligns towards him.

    I think that's a really great idea for a song. It's pretty p-i-m-p.

    I think that she really loves her boyfriend and thinks that he means the world to her. It kinda reminds me of how a lot of us fell towards our boyfriends and crushes.

    I don't know if any of you have ever listened to Ani Difranco, but this girl sounds like she's trying to sing like her.

    "and i probably forgot to tell you this like that time when i forgot to tell you about the scar remember how uncomfortable that made you feel? see you're not what i expected but you're the only one who knows how to handle me "

    "and you're the only one who holds my hair back when i'm drunk and get sick " These two parts are something I can relate to... unfortunately, I hate that person now, because that's the only way I won't end up hurt. But I think she's talking about how she cut herself and she told the guy and he got all freaked out but also understood and took it the way one should take it.

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
