La-di-da
Yeah

You fled from medication 'cause it only causes pain
You won't go to the doctor, he keeps calling you insane
You're lost even when you're going the right way
You mean the world to me, even though you might be crazy

And you said we wouldn't make it
But look how far we've come
For so long my heart was breaking
But now we're standing strong
The things you say made me fall harder each day
You're a trainwreck, but I wouldn't love you if you changed
No, yeah

I shook your hand and you pulled it right away, yeah
You asked me to dance and instead I said, "No way"
Inside I was dying to give it a try
And you begged me, so I stayed
I knew you were different from the way I caved

And you said we wouldn't make it
But look how far we've come
For so long my heart was breaking
But now we're standing strong
And the things you say, you make me fall harder each day
You're a trainwreck, but I wouldn't love you if you changed, yeah, ooh
No, yeah

We were so different, but opposites attract
So my hope kept growing and that I never looked back
You're one of a kind
No one can change this heart of mine, oh

You said we wouldn't make it
But look how far we've come
For so long my heart was breaking
And now we're standing strong
The things you say, you make me fall harder each day
You're a trainwreck, but I wouldn't love you if you changed, oh
Ooh, ooh, yeah

One more thing I thought I'd share with someone special
I'm falling like I've never fell before
It's funny, you said we'd never make it, and look how far we've come
You're a trainwreck
But with you, I'm in love

    My Interpretation

    i'm pretty sure this song is about how she fell in love with a boy who was 'crazy' or had some mental illness, and didn't have any faith that their relationship could work because he may have thought that nobody could love a crazy person. "you're a trainwreck but i wouldn't love you if you changed" says that she loves him even if he is crazy, and if he wasn't he wouldn't be himself.

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.

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.

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.
