The Butterfly

Razorbladekisses

Window was open
Flying with your wings
Another world
Another scent

I swear I heard you
crying softly

The butterfly
The butterfly


Not a letter
How long has it been

you haven't even
a single smile

Is this the end
of her sweet life

And then her death
And then her death

(delam gerefteh hast
delam gerefteh hast
be eyvan miravam

va dasthayam ra be poosteh
keshideyeh shab mikesham

cheragheh rabeteh tarikast
cheragheh rabeteh tarikast)

Did I tell you
your wing is bleeding

Did I tell you
It makes me cry

Empty and fragile
The shape of your heart

My butterfly
My butterfly

I remember
Your last words to me
About a journey
With no return

Is this the end
She'll never come back

And then her death
And then her death

(kasi mara be aftab moarrefi nakhahd kard
kasi mara be mehmaniyeh
gonjeshk-ha nakhahad bord

Parvaz ra be khater bespar
Parandeh mordanist
Parandeh mordanist)

How long have you been flying blind
Searching for the peace
you could not find

Could it be you were the butterfly
The butterfly
The butterfly

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”

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/

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.
