I Want You

Danko Jones

I'm gonna leave my situation in the morning
Why don't you jump into my car and we'll hit the road
I got no place I'm going no destination
When I leave I ain't never going home

Let's just drive into the sunset no expectations
And when we leave we tell nobody no one will know
It's bout time we got the hell out and made the distance
And with you riding shotgun I'm always home

When everybody said I couldn't
You said that I could

I wanna leave, I want out
I ain't confused I have no doubt
I wanna leave, I want out
I want out, I want out

I've grown tired of my place I ain't going nowhere
I think I made up my mind long time ago
So the question is are you coming with me?
I can do this better with you than all alone

'Cause when everybody said I couldn't
You said that I could

I wanna leave, I want out
I'm not confused I have no doubt
I wanna leave, I want out
No need to scream or jump and shout
I wanna leave, I want out
I'm not confused I have no doubt
I wanna leave, I want out
I want out, I want out

I wanna leave, I want out
I want out, I want out
I wanna leave, I want out
I want out, I want out
I wanna leave, I want out
I want out, I want out
I wanna leave, I want out
I want out, I want out

    Danko should be the agony aunt for every young nervous teenager who has no idea of how to talk to women!

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
