Not one to be alarmist
panic's not really my style.
Dealing with my nervousness
and forcing a smile... see?
I'm good at coping
Cool, poised, self-controlled
No that's OK I'll be alright
These are coffee shakes, that's all
Quit Quit I can't Quit
Quit Quit I can't Quit

Eager for a challenge
Sure I wasn't over my head
Had the very best intentions
The tougher, the better, I said
I know you're very busy,
I can see you're working very hard,
but I'm scared
Don't want to interrupt you
But I've got to tell somebody
that there's big trouble here
Run for cover and say your prayers!

Everything was researched
followed the best advice
Spent days on end in reference
confirmed all sources twice
Realistic expectations
practical methods and tests
Confident in the outcome
final result this crisis
Quit Quit I can't Quit
Quit Quit I can't Quit

Every angle, every option
checked my facts again and again
Tore it apart a thousand times
and stood it on its head
Went over it and over it
considered different points of view
Put things in perspective
but I can't find the error
no ideas, no clues
Well, what the Hell am I supposed to do?

I've really got a problem here
...Quit... no... no problem

I'd rather not admit it
this is hard for me to say
I'm proud and independent
and I don't like to make mistakes
But all I need is a different slant
and objective overview
And I couldn't keep from thinkin'
just what it was you'd do
Quit Quit I can't Quit
Quit Quit I can't Quit

You'd pull this all together
as if it were routine
Dazzle me with logic
brilliant line of reasoning
You'd crack through solutions
your genius on demand
You could move a little faster
hurry up and get us out of this jam
Cause I've given up, I Quit, I can't

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”

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.
