And now I'm trying to decide if I feel dirty at all
Cause it gets hard to tell
It's never just black and white she's got a mind of her own
And she uses it well

So she invites me over outside villanova
She's got some pull-out sofa that we won't hardly need
She is only drinking soda revving up that motor
Got places we could go to but I still won't believe

That she's only gifted
When I'm standing by her side
She goes unassisted
And I start to relax as I cut her some slack

[Chorus]
So get up I gotta go to work
Facing all these people who now know I'm a jerk
And it's a set-up I gotta change my clothes
Concealing all this evidence before everybody knows
What I've done and what I'm gonna do ?again

And in the middle of the night I have a breakdown of sorts
With regret creeping in
She's gonna put up a fight and she will get her way
Cause she loves sleeping in

So I need someone to side with when she begins confiding
And I cannot provide it cause I'm endlessly cold
She says she's so excited to play some groom and bride
With me but I'm undecided so I need to be told

That she's only sinking
When I'm sleeping by her side
With a change of thinking
I could pull us away even just for a day

[Chorus]

She grows impatient to change my tune
She's geting older and legal soon
And I wasn't ready to start out and go upsetting
Some girl that I'd be forgetting
By the time the cops came by that afternoon
And I try to decide as she pulls me aside

[Chorus]

    When I first heard this song, I thought it was about a having a relationship with a woman who he knows is married... "And now I'm trying to decide if I feel dirty at all cause it gets hard to tell it's never just black and white she's got a mind of her own and she uses it well" it's her decision to cheat on her spouse, he's trying to decided if he feels badly about it...

    "so get up I gotta go to work facing all these people who now know I'm a jerk and it's a set-up I gotta change my clothes concealing all this evidence before everybody knows what I've done and what I'm gonna do …again" maybe they work together.... everyone knows what's going on but they are trying to deny it...

    "and in the middle of the night I have a breakdown of sorts with regret creeping in she's gonna put up a fight and she will get her way cause she loves sleeping in" again, he starts to regret what he is doing... but knows that she will eventually win out...

    "so I need someone to side with when she begins confiding and I cannot provide it cause I'm endlessly cold she says she's so excited to play some groom and bride with me but I'm undecided so I need to be told" she tries to justify what she's doing by complaining to him about her spouse, but he could care less... she keeps telling him about how her divorce will be final soon and they can get married... but he's not sure, especially not after hearing her talk about her current man...

    "she grows impatient to change my tune she's geting older and legal soon and I wasn't ready to start out and go upsetting some girl that I'd be forgetting by the time the cops came by that afternoon and I try to decide as she pulls me aside" she's starting to figure out that he might not commit, and she's not happy... she knows her divorce will be finalized soon, he's not ready to commit, but he doesn't want to upset her... the spouse finds out and goes crazy... tears up their house and stuff... he gets there and she pulls him aside, wants him to comfort her... and he's trying to decide (or going, oh sh!t, what do I do now?!?)

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.

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
