It's amazing what you can get away with saying, when you present it right.
Are you here to learn? Or are you here to sell drugs?
I heard you could do both, you just have to wake up.

Think about the things you've learned and how you can give meaning to meaningless.
That can't apply if you're house is a car.
As a parent, you just can't drink and drug.
I've heard you can, you just have to wake up.

What we're doing is giving meaning to meaningless.
I'm going back to get my grade ten.
You can't just go crying shit wolf.
This is about the worst thing you've ever done.

Where is the - chicken?
It's essential to our - operation.
I assure you that it's not.

[Growling]
What's your problem. Mr.Dick? Why do you still have an erection?
This is about the worst thing you've ever done.
I assure you it's not.
Done eleven times over.
I've got Responsibles.
You know? I'm ashamed.
I admit it to many chefs in the same pot.
Don’t you think, it's kinda funny the way birds of a feather flock?

There aren't enough hours in each day.
And if everyone agrees why not just add more? No one wants to admit when they blow it.
I'm ashamed. I admit it.
No one ever wants to own up to eating nine cans of ravioli.
It's all about the presentation, and I want it so, ever since I got out of jail.

You can't just go taking the blame - It's already been taken.
Stop shooting - someone's actually hurt here.
Stop shooting - someone's actually hurt.
Don't make me take off my pants.
Give me a cigarette.
I'm having a heart attack.
Where's my fucking BBQ? I know you have it.

    its a crazy hobo going on a killing-barbeque stealing-ravioli eating spree, and in the meantime he's got an erection.

    we've all been there.

    This is about some strange TV show on cable they were watching about trailer park types and their lives.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.

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.
