Speechless

Self Against City

All alone, and do it better on my own,
And 'til the telephone rings, plead your case with broken wings,
Give yourself away, to everyone and now there's nothing left of you,
There will come a day, when everything will come right back down on you,

Comeback, I know you feel the same,
Speechless, I don't know what to say to you to pull us through

Just when I, assume that everything's alright,
Your gone again, I'm gonna spend my whole life wondering,
Why you give yourself away, to everyone and now there's nothing left of you,
There will come a day, when everything will come right back down on you,

Comeback, I know you feel the same,
Speechless, I don't know what to say to you to pull us through,
And you're right, I know that I was wrong,
I'm lost, I've been here for so long but please don't let it slip a...

I've got to lie to explain(I just wanted to say that I miss you)
There's so much we left unsaid(Disaster comes with this distance)
There's no one left to blame(From moment to truth, and us closer)
But ourselves for feeling this way

Give yourself away, to everyone and now there's nothing left of you,
Today will be the day, when everything will come right back down on you,

Comeback, I know you feel the same,
Speechless, I don't know what to say to you to pull us through,
And you're right, I know that I was wrong,
But I'm lost, I've been here for so long but please don't let it slip, AWAY, AWAY,

AWAY, AWAY,
AWAY, AWAY(Comeback, I know you feel the same, Speechless, I don't know what to say...)
AWAY, AWAY(...to you, I let it slip)

    All alone, and do it better on my own,

    It sounds like it should be -

    All alone, and doing better on my own..

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”

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
