i think it would be great

Best Friends Forever

i've come to meet you in Moscow, Idaho
i'll drive down to you if you talk specifically to pro-bo
to hear you say jessica when you're in Philadelphia
and i' would love to be courted long distance from Portland


i think it would be great
if you lived in a different state
otherwise i am to busy i'm always in a rush
and theres not enough room for all my stuff

i like boys from Tennessee
and they sure now how to make them in Ypsilanti
i'm going to bring a little brianna to you in indiana
i'll be wishin' i was kissin' with you in Michigan

i used to think it was great
when i got to look forward to seeing your face
but now that we occupy the same space
i just cant get excited in the same way

the further away the fuzzier your face
the harder to make a less desirable trace
when i'm looking at you through a telescopic lens
thats when its easier for me to use my imagination
but when i'm looking at you through a microscopic lens
thats when it harder for me to pretend

but i still think it would be great
if you lived in a different state
for thats the only way we can remain
in this lovey dovey romantic phase
without the drag of the everyday

i'm sorry that i liked you better
when i only knew you through your letters
take it from me the best way to be
is fickle and fackles and wishy and washy

let me tell you the best thing to do
when you live in a city (Milwaukee)
is find yourself a hottie
and when you realize you want more then just a smooch
pack up your bags and move to Minneapolis or Duluth

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”

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
