Aisha
We've only just met
And I think you ought to know
I'm a murderer
Babies need blood

I have a portrait on my wall
He's a serial killer
I thought he wouldn't escape
Aisha
He got out

We live in a cemetery
A cold and barren place
And science runs with us
Making us Gods

The rules are all wrong
Every perversion is justified
The art people eat dead bodies
Anything goes around here

I still wanna be human again
What am I?
What am I?
I'm a murderer

Aisha!
I'm confused
Aisha!
I'm vibrating

I'm a murderer
The Gods all suck

    Two meanings, for me:

    1) A murderer on death row. "I'm confused, I'm vibrating" is him getting electrocuted (listen to the noises he makes right after that, sounds like someone being electrocuted).

    "science makes us gods" - We created high-tech methods of execution, and we're playing god

    "we live in a cemetery" could be a reference to prison.

    OR

    2) More of a half comedic, half terrifying horror story, where he's a deranged killer who is talking to his next victim

    "Aisha, he got out" sounds very Jekyll/Hyde, as if he has no control over his serial killer self

    "science runs through us, making us gods" is very Frankensteinian, classic science vs. nature horror theme

    "I'm confused, I'm vibrating" is just the murderer being insane, confused at his own hallucinations/derangement, yet exhilarated, too. Sounds like both a plea for help and an ecstatic exclamation

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.

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.

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.
