I feel you crawling beneath my skin
Through open wounds I let you in
Hoping you could drain the poison pumping through these veins
But my body shakes and my skin goes white
As you dig in deeper like a parasite
Tainting worse the chemicals that flow into my brain

The scratches on the wall will let you know I wanted out
Bloody fingertips I try to hide each day
The scratches from your fingernails remain upon my back
From sleepless nights when all we had would surely fade
The scratches on the bedpost is just another sign of being used
So take it all as I scratch you away
Take it all I'm scratching you away

I felt you sink into my pores
On rain soaked nights when the thunder roars
Hoping you would wash away the filth inside my head
But you dirtied it up from the inside out
You flooded my mind with your cynical drought
And this mental dehydration leaves no fluid to be shed

The scratches on the wall will let you know I wanted out
Bloody fingertips I try to hide each day
The scratches from your fingernails remain upon my back
From sleepless nights when all we had would surely fade
The scratches on the bedpost is just another sign of being used
So take it all as I scratch you away
Take it all I'm scratching you away

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”

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
