Today I watched the sunset in the east
Turns out it was the sunrise
(And I walked a path as I was told a story)
(I watched you through your window)

I watched the sky as the moon was left reflecting on the day.
So if I can't have you I'll just close my eyes
And pretend she is you. Pretend you are mine.
I can see the world through your window.
And I sing to you every night from here.

Today I prayed my plane would crash.
You'd here the news
And think of me as much as I thought of you.

And if you never repeat my words
You said them before and I remember the sound
I keep the lights off
I know yuor right here
No matter what, you cant say no to me in my dreams.

Your routine is so divine. I have it memerized
As you walk to your window with your light on inside
I know you'll never find me here
As you admire the view
Do you know how pretty you look with your hair down?
I walk to your window admiring the view.

    I love it.

    "So if I can't have you I'll just close my eyes And pretend she is you. Pretend you are mine."

    Touching, in a sick FBTMOF kind of way.

    well, you do the math. whats the chances someone that really listens to this band would stumble onto this site and have some clue about what the song means? not alot apparently ;)

    to me this song sounds like it was written about an obession over someone that they couldnt be with/have/get love from or whatever. my 2 cents.

    i second that notion. cause you cant see it in these lyrics but he keeps saying "you cant say no". meaning that he can have his way any damn way he wants in his mind with this person, and they cant stop him. and then the use of the whole "do you know how pretty you look with your hair down?...i walk to your window admiring the view." that my friends..shows the obsession.

    definately one of my favorite Fear Before songs. there's just so many good lines, but the one that definately takes the cake is "so if i can't have you i'll just close my eyes and pretend she is you, pretend you are mine."

    I think this song is about a guy that is totally obsessed with a girl, and he wants her really bad, but she doesn't want him.

    "Your routine is so divine. I have it memerized As you walk to your window with your light on inside I know you'll never find me here As you admire the view Do you know how pretty you look with your hair down? I walk to your window admiring the view. "

    Sounds like he is stalking her and watching her from outside her house.

    Yeah.

    This is one of my favorite fear before songs. It's really good.

    This is definately one of FBTMOF's best.

    The lyrics seem to point to this guy having dreams about a girl who he obviously can't have.

    Alot of talk about sitting up at night. "Close my eyes and pretend she is you"

    Today I prayed my plane would crash. You'd here the news And think of me as much as I thought of you.

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.

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/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
