This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Eddie's got one crazy eye
That turns him into a cartoon
When a pretty girl comes by
And there's nothin' here to do anymore
He sits on the stoop all day
Like there's something he's waiting for
Cunt-finger Louie picks up Eddie in the alley
He's got all those guys with him
From that town where they all look like Frankie Valli
They speak fluently blonde
From her legs to her cigarette
And Louie told Eddie that he'd fix him up
But he ain't come back yet
Well, you know
It's more trouble than it's worth
It's more trouble than it's worth
Oh Wild and the Only ones
Tell him where you are -
Oh Wild and the Only ones
Tell him where you are
Tell him where you are
Zero quit school
And she lost her job again
And then her boyfriend beat her up
And now he won't let her in
So she's walking by his joint
In a black and blue dress
She looks at Louie who elbows Eddie who says
"Don't tell me, lemme guess."
It's more trouble than it's worth
He's more trouble than he's worth
Oh Wild and the Only ones
Tell him where you are
Oh Wild and the Only ones
Tell him where you are
Well at first when it was this way
When they're the only ones
And you've got all these ideas
You never tell to anyone
There are always magnets
Pulling each of you there
Living every story you'd dare
To be the only ones
The only ones
Oh, who are living it up
Oh yeah, we're living it up
Oh yeah, we'll be living it up
Oh yeah, we're living it up
Gotta be living it up
Oh yeah, we're living it up
Oh yeah, we're living it up
Oh yeah, we're living it up
Oh yeah, we're living it up
Oh yeah, we're living it up
Louie and Eddie found a reason then and there
Carried her over the bridges like fluttering pages they didn't care
In the terminal where dreams
Let so many tickets through
When strangers look in faces
And see somebody there they knew
You might meet me tomorrow
As all the lights are blooming green
And you're feeling a little lonely,
A little sad, a little mean
Remember a place
Inside of that hotel
Where you could do anything you want to do
You couldn't tell
If it's more trouble than it's worth
Ah, this is more trouble than it's worth
Oh Wild and the Only ones
Tell him where you are
Oh Wild and the Only ones
I'm waiting you could
Tell him where you are
Oh Wild and the Only ones
Why don't you tell him where you are?
That turns him into a cartoon
When a pretty girl comes by
And there's nothin' here to do anymore
He sits on the stoop all day
Like there's something he's waiting for
Cunt-finger Louie picks up Eddie in the alley
He's got all those guys with him
From that town where they all look like Frankie Valli
They speak fluently blonde
From her legs to her cigarette
And Louie told Eddie that he'd fix him up
But he ain't come back yet
Well, you know
It's more trouble than it's worth
It's more trouble than it's worth
Oh Wild and the Only ones
Tell him where you are -
Oh Wild and the Only ones
Tell him where you are
Tell him where you are

And then her boyfriend beat her up
And now he won't let her in

It's more trouble than it's worth
He's more trouble than he's worth

When they're the only ones
And you've got all these ideas

Tell him where you are
Oh Wild and the Only ones
Why don't you tell him where you are?

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

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”

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Nobody seems to know the meaning here. Please let me know if you have any ideas at all. Here's all I can think of (and it's very incomplete).
We all know that, whilst writing this incredible album, she was going through a lot of hurt as the result of Tom Waits' sudden split to New York. She, and he, Chuck E., and so on, were all part of a gang of musicians and drinkers who hung out at The Troubadour (amongst other joints) and had a lot of fun and a lot of original ideas. Each character was probably pretty unique. Perhaps they may collectively have been "Wild and the Only ones"; a group of artists, undamming those crazy "ideas you never tell to anyone"; that hive of creativity (and love of life and liquor) the "magnets pulling each of you there" if not the attraction which drew Waits and Jones into a brief, and ultimately painful, relationship.
Rickie Lee Jones told DJ and music-journo Simon Barnett about "Cunt-Finger Louie" in an interview which the BBC never ultimately broadcast. It's in the archives somewhere and deserves to be heard.
According to RLJ, elsewhere, he was one of many funny stories told by her friend and sometime collaborator, Sal Bernadi.
As for Eddie and his crazy eye — who knows?
