It irks me when I get burned
And I realize, I don't get hurt
And always, it seems I've lost my way
When I feel you, it's not enough
And I need you to shun my touch
I notice the season's ripe for change

I'm weak
I'm weak

So with every new lesson learned
I could keep you before it turns
And the knowledge that things won't be the same
Now I realize that you have won
And there's nothing to be said or done
And I notice the wind won't blow my way

So run with the eyes of the devil

And keep them in your dreams
If you succumb to the lies of the rebel
You'll cleanse yourself of me

It kills me to watch this fade
And I realize it's all charade
And every mistake I make is the same
I beseech you to let me drown
Will it please you to let me down
And no one can save me from the pain

So run with the eyes of the devil
And keep them in your dreams
If you succumb to the lies of the rebel
You'll cleanse yourself of me [x3]

Jesus, save me! (i'm weak) [x5]
Jesus, save me from me

    i think it means to walk the line in life, to keep the devil in your dreams but never become one, if you succumb to the lies of the rebel or you will clease yourself of me - if you take the path of a rebel and destruction of yourself, you will no longer be like him. while at the same time he wants left alone to make his choices, i beseech you to let me drown, if he chooses to drown in alcohol, than that his choice alone. almost like he wants you to watch but not interfere. so basicly keep the fear in life real, but always keep running and never forget that the your inner-devil is always there to temp you!.

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”

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
