Well I was lonely in spring for this kind of thing
She's shivering alone
I bumped into you somehow
You can wear

My duct-taped vest was my party best
But it’s really all I own
Everything's changing now
And there’s all these winter stars still flying
Cassiopeia
Everything's changing now

She said it’s alright
It's just a bonfire

Lightning comes and lightning goes
And it’s all the same to me
Let it in
‘Cause i want you so
I can hardly breathe and release
Into a thousand pieces
I have broke into
Over you
Kill the flames at dawn,
I keep burning on and on

And I check myself
‘Cause there’s no one else
It’s just us hanging out
Everything's changing now

Maybe we could live like kings
We could take a risk
We could live in doubt
Everything's changing now

And the lightning comes and lightning goes
And it’s all the same to me
Let it in
‘Cause i want you so
I can hardly breathe and release
Into a thousand pieces
I have broke into
Over you
Kill the flames at dawn,
I keep burning on and on

This, this is, this is the last time, its the last time
This, this is, this is your goodbye
This, this is, this is the last time, its the last time
This, this is, this is your goodbye!

Some girls break you down
Just to see you come undone
Everything's changing now

Maybe you and I are cursed
Maybe you and I are one
Thats the universe
Around, around

And lightning comes and lightning goes
And it’s all the same to me
Let it in
‘Cause I want you so
I can hardly breathe and release
Into a thousand pieces
I have broke into
Over you
Kill the flames at dawn,
But I keep burning on and on and on

It’s what you always wanted
It’s what you always wanted
It’s what you always wanted

    LOVE this song live...I've seen it twice, its pretty catchy. LOVE the whistle, love the mythology reference.

    When I saw them at a show I got to go to a press conference stephan was having. He was talking about music that had influenced him and he pointed out how much he had listened to hip hop and how he liked the idea of a beat being able to fit a lot into a short sentence. For all you true 3eb fans, stop and think about how many songs are like that.

    I think this particular song is kind of made to be catchy, they will prob release it as a single. To be honest I think its a little immature to be singing...it sounds like a senior year of hs song. But I still love it! And I can't wait for the new stuff...but perfect it first boys, no rush.

    Definitely see them live if you get the chance...they are awesome in concert and cool to meet!

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.

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/

Plastic Bag
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.
