Månen hänger lågt
över allt du tror du såg
Under trasigt moln
går ett Yeti-spår

500 mil i snön
Ett UFO över sjön
och i en blixt ser jag
Keats stå bredvid Baudelaire
Som magi ett ljus man drunknar i
Det finns små trick som får folk
att ge dig mer än du är värd...

Mary Shelleys dröm
syr en sick-sacksöm
över allt som vintern gömt
över allt som hjärtat glömt

500 mil i snön
Ett UFO över sjön
och i en blixt dansar
Lady Day vals med Astaire
Som magi ett ljus man drunknar i
Det finns små trick som får folk
att ge dig mer än du är värd...

500 mil i snön
Ett UFO över sjön
och med en blick får jag folk att tro
på magi ett ljus man drunknar i
Det finns små trick som får folk
att ge dig mer än du är värd....

    en metatext där Jocke Berg beskriver sin textskaparprocess.. hur han skriver låtar som får folk att läsa in saker som inte finns där.. "vad du tror du såg [..] yeti-spår [..] ett ufo över sjön [..] finns små trick som får folk att ge dig mer än vad du är värd", etc.. Mary Shelleys dröm och zickzack-söm illustrerar hur han binder ihop spridda strofer och minnen och får lyssnaren att fylla i resten och plötsligt dansar Lady Day vals med Fred Astaire och med en blick får han folk att tro på magi, ett ljus man drunknar i. alltså är det ingen nonsenstext utan en text om att skapa nonsenstexter.. eller?? ;)

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"

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.

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.
