What is Love All About?

World Party

I only breathe when your mouth opens
I only dream when you're asleep
When I'm in this room, I don't see nothin'
'Cept whatever's runnin' through your mind

I only breathe when your mouth opens
I only dream when you're asleep
I only see this room when you are in it
And they're askin' do I know what love's about

I only sigh when I'm not with you
I can't remember why I am
I only speak when you are thinkin'
And they're askin' do I know what love's about

(What is love all about?)
(What is love all about?)
(What is love all about?)
Everyone should know
(What is love all about?)

Everyone should know
(What is love all about?)
Everyone should know, everyone should know
Everyone should know
(What is love all about?)

I only speak when you are breathin'
(What is love all about?)
I only dream when you're asleep
(What is love all about?)

I only see this room when you're in it
(What is love all about?)
Same for the sea and trees and lonely sky
(What is love all about?)

I only sigh when I'm not with you
(What is love all about?)
I can't remember why I am
(What is love all about?)

I only speak when you are thinkin'
(What is love all about?)
And they're askin' do I know what love's about
And they're askin' me if I know what love's about

Everyone should know
Everyone should know
Everyone should know
Everyone, yeah
(What is love all about?)
Everyone should know

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”

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
