Well, here we are again
Throwing punchlines, no one wins
As the morning sun begins to rise, we're fading fast
And we won't work this out

No, we're not gonna work this out tonight
(We won't work this out) no, we're not gonna make this right
So I'll give a kiss and say goodbye
(Give a kiss goodbye) 'cause we're not gonna work this out, tonight

Every single word's been said (whoa-oh-oh)
Broke each other's hearts again (ohh-oh-oh)
As the starlit sky begins to shine, we're breaking down
She screams out

No, we're not gonna work this out tonight
(We won't work this out) no, we're not gonna make this right
So I'll give a kiss and say goodbye
(Give a kiss goodbye) 'cause we're not gonna work this out, tonight

(Oh, oh, tonight, tonight, oh, oh, oh) we don't have to fight, tonight
(Oh, oh, tonight, tonight, oh, oh, oh) we just gotta try
Tonight (we gotta work this out)
(Oh, oh, tonight, tonight, oh, oh, oh) we don't have to fight, tonight
(Oh, oh, tonight, tonight, oh, oh, oh) we just gotta try
Tonight

No, we're not gonna work this out tonight
(We won't work this out) no, we're not gonna make this right
So I'll give a kiss and say goodbye
(Give a kiss goodbye) 'cause we're not gonna work this out, tonight

Well, there's no need to fight, we're just wasting time
(Tonight) if you give it a try well then maybe you'll find
(We might work this out) well, we know we're in love so let's keep it alive
Keep it alive, keep it alive (tonight)
I'm starting to see the morning light
We finally worked this out

    My Opinion

    this isn't music. this is banal pop major label bullshit.

    Led Zeppelin is music. Jimi Hendrix is music. Death From Above 1979 is music. Tool is music. and Nirvana is music.

    these bands talked about things that mattered, and played their music with motherfucking heart.

    but not The Jonas Brothers. this is pure fucking filth. this is garbage and you people who like them make me and many other people fucking SICK.

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.

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.
