She said I feel stranded
And I can't tell anymore
If we coming or I'm going
It's not how I planed it
I've got the key to the door
But it just won't open

And I know I know I know
Part of me says let it go
That life happens for a reason
I don't I don't I don't
It goes I never went before
But this time this time

I'm gonna try anything that just feel better
Tell me what to do
You know I can't see through the haze around me
And I do anything that just feel better

And I can't find my way
Girl I need a change
And I do anything that just feel better
Any little thing that just feel better

She said I need you to hold me
I'm a little far from the shore
And I'm afraid of sinking
You're the only one knows me
And who doesn't ignore
That my soul is weeping

I know I know I know
Part of me says let it go
Everything must have it seasons
Round and round it goes
And every day's a one before
But this time this time

I'm gonna try anything that just feels better
Tell me what to do
You know I can't see through the haze around me
And I do anything that just feel better

And I can't find my way
God I need a change
And I do anything that just feel better
Any little thing that just feel better

Long to hold you in my arms
To all things I ought to leave behind yeah
It's really getting nowhere
I think I need a little help this time

Yeah

I'm gonna try anything that just feel better
Tell me what to do
You know I can't see through the haze around me
And I do anything that just feel better

And I can't find my way
Girl I need a change
And I do anything that just feel better
Any little thing that just feel better

    When I first heard this song I thought It's about this person who wants to move on after his broken relasionship, forget about the past and try out new things.. but I'm all confused and stuff and after I've seen the video.. How the hell they've related the video to this song?

    I'm not sure what this song's about either. Well i kind of am. I think it's about someone leaving their partner because they knew they weren't truly happy with them. Or perhaps their partner wasn't telling them everything. And that made the other person sad.. So they left to make their life better. And wanted to search for someone else who they could love and be loved back by them, not have any problems and tell each other everything. Like true love. And the car crash bit in the video.. well i'm not sure what that's about, but it could symbolise when the person's life came crashing to the ground so they thought they'd leave then. And kinda restart their life... maybe??

    i've been thinking about it, and now i think it's about finding yourself and knowing who you are. like people do things (drinking,drugs,self mutilation, etc.) to "feel better", yet it usually causes problems (like death). Maybe the car crash was like a reality check to the girl, as in she needs to wake up & realize what she's doing.

    I thinx it's about guy whose girlfriend have problems ''She said I need you to hold me I'm a little far from the shore And I'm afraid of sinking'' And he wants to break up with her but he can't do it to her ''I've got the key to the door But it just won't open And I know I know I know Part of me says let it go'' He doesn't know what to do and he is in haze. He have to choose between girlfriend and what he wants, but he doesn't know yet what it is.

    I just watched the video and I was mainly paying attention to what was happening to the girl and not him, so I'm not sure what half of the video means...

    I think that moismymonkey15 is right, that people will do anything to "just feel better" when they're depressed or angry such as cutting, drinking, drugs, etc.

    The girl was left by her dad at a young age because of her parents constant fighting. This makes it hard for her to trust anyone, because she's afraid of getting hurt again. Her friend/boyfriend is the only one who understands her, who she can trust, and who doesn't ignore her feelings:

    She said I need you to hold me I'm a little far from the shore And I'm afraid of sinking You're the only one knows me And who doesn't ignore That my soul is weeping

    Then he dies in a car crash and she's lonely again.

    I might be way wrong here, but that's just how I see it.

    it's about a guy who had been tormented by his girlfriend..they were happy but there were bad times that hurt him more..and most of the times, he felt lost...he was loosing his identity and when everything is over..he wanted to do something in his own way...something that can make him feel better...and at the same time, he's confused..whether to go back to his gf or to continue to pull away and do whatever he feels better..

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.

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.
Album art
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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/
