When it’s cold outside, can’t feel the warmth from the sun
You’re going through more than what it looks like
Ever Feel alone inside?
Wanna get away, you want to run
And you need someone more than you realize
Well…
I got you
When everything’s going wrong, I know how to carry on
YOUUUU
When everything is falling down
Yeah it’s true
When you need a helping hand
You know I got you
Ohhh
Yeah I got you
I got you
When you’ve had enough, going gets tough you and you thinkin of
How you gonna pull yourself out of this mess
It’s so hard growing up, But know that the best is yet to come
And if you ever need to get it off your chest
I got you
When everything’s going wrong, I know how to carry on
YOUUUU
When everything is falling down
Yeah it’s true
When you need a helping hand
You know I got you
Ohhh
Yeah I got you
I got you
When life gets comes calling
And you feel so small
And the Rains so hard and won’t stop falling, no
We’re not alone, Cause...
I got you
When everything’s going wrong, I know how to carry on
YOUUUU
When everything is falling down
Yeah it’s true
When you need a helping hand
You know I got you
Ohhh
Yeah I got you
I got you
Yeah I got you

    My Interpretation

    I think she's singing about how she was totally in love with a guy, and he acted like he loved her back too, but then turns around and gets with other girls. I think when she sings, "She's down, you're the the winner tonight. Are you happy you got that girl?" She's singing it angrily, as in saying, "Look what you did! Are you happy 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.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.

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.
