I Set my Friends on Fire

Aiden

Iset) I set (myfriends) My friends on fire (fire)
well I looked at your grave I do not feel alive
(I set) I set (myfriends) My friends on fire (fire)
well I looked at your eyes I do not feel alive.
I set (I set) My friends (myfriends) on fire now I will give up
(I set) I set (myfriends) my friends (fire) on fire, now I will give my life.
If I tell you now I will not feel alive,
If I kill you now I will not feel pride,
If I kill you now I have set those fields on fire,
what's this? One More Time
Burn-Lies-Lies-one more time,
Burn-Lies-Lies-set, one more time
[whispers]
tisiv ot ecalp ecin a si lleh
hell is a nice place to visit.
yaaaaa/yaaaaaa/well I gave one more time,
yaaaaa/yaaaaaa/well I gave one more time now,
"The sun came through the leaves and lit them
up like it was on fire, Right at sunset"
Let's look the world into the eyes (like it was on fire) and say
just one more time (likeitwasonfire), much less.
Let's look the world into the eyes (like it was on fire) and say
just one more time, one more time.
yaaaaaaaaa/one more/
yaaaaaaaaa/one more time/
one more life when I pray it's time.
When I gave one more time, to lie into
the after life, one more time/I/praise/one more LIE

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”

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.
