Everybody
Testing 1, 2, 3...
Everybody
Here goes nothing

This hand can write the words
As fast as I can think them up
In a state of half awake
I fill the page with all my frantic thoughts

I hope one day you'll get to read
What I don't have the guts to say
I hang all the words translated
In normal conversation, so

Chorus
Everybody
Testing 1, 2, 3...
I know you're listing
So I hope I don't mess this up

This verse was the first I wrote
When I didn't know what to say to you
Now my hand is cramping up
Because when I'm hear I'm not afraid to
Write down the words you hear right now
I sing them loud, I shut them out
Hello it's me
Can I have your attention please, now

Chorus

Everybody
Here goes nothing
I know you're listening
So I'll keep my fingers crossed
Yeah

I know you're probably not impressed
I know it sounded better in my head
But if I don't get this out
You'll never hear it, how it goes

Everybody
Listen closesly
To the words I sing
Can I please have your attention now

Everybody (everybody)
Testing 1, 2, 3...
I know you're listing
So I hope I don't mess this up
Everybody (everybody)
Here goes nothing
I know you're listening
So I'll keep my fingers crossed
Yeah

    No posts on any of their songs? Disappointing. Treaty of Paris is such an incredibly talented band, and they have a lot of potential.

    This song is definately my favorite. It sounds so cool, and the lyrics are incredible. It could mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people, and I think that is one of the things that make it great.

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"

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”

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
