How do you tame a lion?
It was a savvy answer,
The repartee and argument, you look like a dancer.
You can take the east side and I will take the west,
You know I liked it better before all of the scars on your...

How do you tame a lion?
I see em when i sleep.
You know I liked it better when we pretended this was for...
I do not know what you want,
Do not know what you want,
Do not know what you feel,
Do not know if it's...

How do you tame a lion,
When they are lying low?
You be my Arthur Miller and I will be your Marilyn.
How do you tame a lion
When they are lying low?
You be my Arthur Miller I will be your Marilyn Monroe.
Marilyn Monroe.

Im not.

So we just be happy, happy now,

And tomorrow we'll be miserable right?

I know, i know, i know, i know
i know, i know, i know
i know, i know, i know i know
i know, i know i'm right

How do you tame a lion when they are lyin low,
You'll be my Arthur Miller, I will be your Marilyn,
How do you tame a lion when they are lyin low,
you be my Arthur Miller, I will be your Marilyn Monroe.
Marilyn Monroe.

How do you tame a lion?
It was a savvy answer.
The repartee and argument, you are like a dancer.
You can take the east side and ill take the west,
You know I liked it better before all of the scars on your chest,
On your chest.

How do you tame a lion when they are lyin low
you be my Arthur Miller and I will be your Marilyn,
How do you tame a lion when they are lyin low,
You be my Arthur Miller and Ill be your Marilyn,
How do you tame a lion when they are lyin low,
you be my Arthur Miller and I will be your Marilyn,
How do you tame a lion when they are lyin low,
You be my Arthur Miller and I will be your Marilyn Monroe.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

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.

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.
