[chorus only]

Faithless, on my way
Defenceless, from my heart won’t you be

Heartless, you and me
Breathless, from the sad misery

    Please don't put it into words 'Cause I fear what you're thinking It's gonna make it hurt You better not try to make me Believe in someone new

    [Chorus:] Faithless On my way Defenseless From my heart, won't you be Heartless, here with me Breathless, from this night's misery This night will start the Exile... RUN!

    Now you tell me what it was worth Was it meant to be broken The circle that wouldn't shed a single tear And now you wanna redirect me from the face of the earth Not willing to share your time Not near Not far I'm just a spectator, once loved Just fear Just scars A sheer introduction to what I've lost, to what I've lost...

    [Chorus:] Faithless On my way Defenseless From my heart, won't you be Heartless, here with me Breathless, from this night's misery (from this night's misery) One more endless night...

    To notice all the things I have to be...

    [Solo]

    [Chorus:] Faithless on my way Won't forget... From my heart, won't you be Heartless, here with me Breathless, from this night's misery This night will start the exile... RUN!

    My interpretation of this song

    "Please don't put it into words

    Cause I fear what you're thinking

    It's gonna make it hurt

    You better not try to make me

    Believe in someone new"

    (I believe he's saying he doesn't want to hear the truth about their relationship with one another... and how they or one them is turning into another person)

    "[Chorus:]

    Faithless

    On my way

    Defenseless

    From my heart, won't you be

    Heartless, here with me

    Breathless, from this night's misery

    This night will start the Exile... RUN!"

    (I think he's saying he just wants to forget their differences or whatever is going on and just be how it use to be and just run away from it all)

    "Now you tell me what it was worth

    Was it meant to be broken

    The circle that wouldn't shed a single tear

    And now you wanna redirect me from the face of the earth

    Not willing to share your time

    Not near

    Not far

    I'm just a spectator, once loved

    Just fear

    Just scars

    A sheer introduction to what I've lost, to what I've lost..."

    (i think he's saying that the person keeps showing that they are changing and how much its hurting him and effecting him and how different everything is and how the person isn't showing any attention at all to him )

    This song means a lot to me I may not be correct at all on what it means but I have been able to relate these words to some people in my lives relationships and soilwork is just plain amazing in every song they have! Even more amazing in concert <3 Soilwork

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”

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
