I don't want this moment to ever end
Where everything's nothing without you
I'll wait here forever just to, to see you smile
'Cause it's true, I am nothing without you

Through it all, I made my mistakes
I stumble and fall but I mean these words

I want you to know
With everything I won't let this go
These words are my heart and soul
I'll hold on to this moment you know
As I bleed my heart out to show
And I won't let go

Thoughts read unspoken, forever in vow
And pieces of memories fall to the ground
I know what I didn't have so, I won't let this go
'Cause it's true, I am nothing without you

All the streets where I walked alone
With nowhere to go
I've come to an end

I want you to know
With everything I won't let this go
These words are my heart and soul
I'll hold on to this moment you know
As I bleed my heart out to show
And I won't let go

In front of your eyes, it falls from the skies
When you don't know what you're looking to find
In front of your eyes, it falls from the skies
When you just never know what you will find
(What you will find, what you will find, what you will find, what you will find)

I don't want this moment to ever end
Where everything's nothing without you

I want you to know
With everything I won't let this go
These words are my heart and soul
I'll hold on to this moment you know
As I bleed my heart out to show
And I won't let (I want you to know) go
With everything I won't let this go
These words are my heart and soul
I'll hold on to this moment you know
As I bleed my heart out to show
And I won't let go

    My Interpretation

    No, it's about a devotion to anything, anyone. Though devotion could easily be mistaken for obsession. It's easy to say that this song is about a boy or a girl, but this song is much more than that. It's about a life-changing moment, whether it be meeting the love of your life, gaining that one thing in your life that was missing, or memories.

    "In front of your eyes it falls from the skies when you don't know what you're looking to find."

    Myself, personally. It's me and my feelings right now. No matter what I'll love that boy with all my heart and all of me. Although things may not go my way, there is still no doubt in my mind that he loves me.

    this song is so powerful. it explains how you feel when you were lonely and depressed all your life and then finally find that special person that cares for you and you cant imagine your life without them and never want this love to end.

    in my opinion its the best song on the record.

    My Interpretation

    First off i'd like to say this is one of my favorite songs of all time. After my breakup i gained new insight to what the song might mean.

    The first lines of the song is very powerful. I think hes saying everything's nothing without you and i wouldn't have it any other way.

    "Through it all, I made my mistakes I stumble and fall, but I mean these words

    I want you to know With everything I won't let this go, these words are my heart and soul I'll hold on to this moment you know, as I bleed my heart out to show And I won't let go"

    Even though they broke up or had a falling out because of his mistakes hes not going to give it up. Hes obviously remembering a moment in time where everything was perfect and hes not going to let it go.

    "Thoughts read unspoken, forever in doubt Pieces of memories fall to the ground I know what I didn't have so, I won't let this go 'Cause it's true, I am nothing without you"

    I feel like the first line of this verse might mean that he said something to her over text or something and maybe forever in doubt means the girl is doubting it or the guy doubts if he got his point through. A very cryptic line indeed. Next he's reflecting on things (maybe qualities) that he didn't have so he want to try again knowing he needs those.

    "All the streets where I walked alone, with nowhere to go I've come to an end"

    The guy obviously is lonely and cant stand it anymore.

    "In front of your eyes, it falls from the skies When you don't know what you're looking to find In front of your eyes, it falls from the skies When you just never know what you will find (what you will find)"

    I think hes reflecting back on when they first got together. Maybe he wasn't looking for love but he found her. Or maybe he was upset or occupied with something or someone else in his life and she came in to make things better.

    Overall i think this is a very powerful song and has more meaning than first meets the eye. (or rather, ear)

    As for the motivation behind it I would say it heavily entails Derycks love for Avril and how his days of loneliness are over and that now he's finally complete. Truely Touching . . .

    I'm happy they weren't afraid to put a song like this. A great band matures even more with this CD. The lyrics are pretty straight forward...but still one of the best on the disc.

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."

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.
