Da da, da da da
Da da da, da da da da

What just happened?
Did you kiss me?
'Cause that's a place we've never been until now

And I don't know how it's gonna be after this
Do we pretend these feelings don't exist at all
Or do we fall?

My confusion shows whenever you get so close
I stumble, I stutter, forget what to say
I'm nervous, I wonder why I'm acting this way

It's temporary insanity
What's going on with you and me?
Is it real or is it fantasy?
Forever or just temporary?

Whoa, oh, oh (insanity)
Whoa, oh, oh

You made a moved and changed your mind
Too much to lose, you've crossed the line between friends
And something more

Was it all a big mistake?
And if it was, it's much too late to undo
And I don't really want to

Let you go but I still don't know
How I feel about you
What this really means
It's crazy to want you
Is it meant to be?

It's temporary insanity
What's going on with you and me?
Is it real or is it fantasy?
Forever or just temporary?

It's temporary insanity
What's going on with you and me?
Is it real or is it fantasy?
Forever or just temporary?

Whoa, oh, oh (insanity)
Whoa, oh, oh

Oh, what you do to me?
What comes over me, oh?
If this is crazy there's nothing I'd rather be

Da, da da da, da da
Da, da da da, da da
Da, da da da, da da

It's temporary insanity
What's going on with you and me?
Is it real or is it fantasy?
Forever or just temporary?
It's temporary insanity
What's going on with you and me?
Is it real or is it fantasy?
Forever or just temporary?

Losin' my mind
Losin' my mind
Losin' my mind

Losin' my mind
Losin' my mind
Losin' my mind

Da, da da da, da da da
Da, da da da, da da da
Da, da da da, da da da
Da, da da da, da da da
Da, da da da, da da da
Da, da da da, da da da
Da, da da da, da da da
Da, da da da, da da da
Da, da da da, da da da
(Da, da da da, da da da)

    Ok. This song has got to be like my favourite by her atm! It's so ridiculously relatable, it's not even funny. Basically, this guy she's known for a while (probably a friend) just kissed her and now she's all uncertain how to preceed (even if she does like him) cus she doesn't want to screw up their friendship or anything. She doesn't know whether to start being 'with' him or whether to pretend the ordeal didn't happen, move on but then lose the chance (hence the 'do we pretned these feelings don't...). She's also confused as to why she has begun feeling nervous around this guy she used to be so comfortable with. She's confused and not sure what to do. She wants to know whether it's just a phase or whether it could last (hence the 'it's temporary insanity. what's going on with you and me? is it real or is it fantasy? forever or just temporary...'). She begins to wonder (maybe he says something or begins to act weird or distant) if maybe it was a mistake but if it was, it can'tbe undone cus they're more than friends now. And although she wonders if messing with their friendship was a mistake, she doesn't know if she'd want it to be any different cus she's happy and falling for this guy (and maybe realizing they could be sooo perfect). So although she's confused and nervous and hesitant, she's pretty happy with the mental confusion cus she has him. She just wants to know how to proceed so she doesn't screw too much more up (if they can only be just friends)

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.

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”

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.
