Kelsey

Metro Station

So take one word, you said
You put it in your bed
You rest your tiny head on your pillow
You wonder where you're going next
You've got your head pushed to my chest
And now you're hoping that someone will let you in
Well I swear I'll let you in
You know I'll let you in, oh Kelsey, you

So don't let anyone scare you
You know that I'll protect you always
Now, through the thick and thin, until the end
You better watch it, you know you don't cross it
Because, I'm always here for you and I'll be here for you

I know, I know, I know
I know how it feels
Believe me, I've been there, and
I know, I know, I know
I know what it feels like, tell me, Kelsey

And I'll swim the ocean for you, the ocean for you
Whoa, Kelsey
And I'll swim the ocean for you, the ocean for you
Whoa, Kelsey, oh you, darling

Now it's gonna get harder and it's gonna burn brighter
And it's gonna feel tougher each and every day
So let me say that I love you, you're all I've ever wanted
You're all I've ever dreamed of to come
And yes you did come
I want you so bad, can you feel it too?
You know I'm so, I'm so in love with you
I want you so much, I need you so much
I need your, I need your, your touch

And I'll swim the ocean for you, the ocean for you
Whoa, Kelsey
And I'll swim the ocean for you, the ocean for you
Whoa, Kelsey

And I'll swim the ocean for you, the ocean for you
Whoa, Kelsey
And I'll swim the ocean for you, the ocean for you
Whoa, Kelsey

And you never, ever let me in (let me in)
And you never, ever let me in (let me in)
And you never, ever let me in (let me in)
And you never, ever let me in

    okay first i love the cat rationale. everytime i hear this song that's all i can think of. [and there is always a cat-related ad on this page. idk what that means, but i laugh] this song is really really catchy. and i think it's just about a guy who really loves a girl. and will always protect her. how charming.

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.

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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.
