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.
With you,
With you,
I wish we had another time,
I wish we had another place
Now Romeo and Juliet,
Bet they never felt the way we felt,
Bonnie and Clyde,
Never had to hide like,
We do,
We do
You and I both know it can't work,
It's all fun and games,
'Til someone gets hurt,
And I don't,
I won't let that be you
Now you don't wanna let go,
And I don't wanna let you know,
There might be something real between us two, who knew?
Now we don't wanna fall but,
We're tripping in our hearts and it's reckless and clumsy,
'Cause I know you can't love me here
I wish we had another time,
I wish we had another place,
But everything we had is stuck in the moment,
And there's nothing my heart can do (can do),
To fight with time and space 'cause,
I'm still stuck in the moment with you
See like Adam and Eve,
Tragedy was our destiny,
Like Sunny and Cher,
I don't care,
I got you baby
See we both,
Fightin' every inch of our fiber,
'Cause ain't no way,
It's gonna end right but,
We are both too foolish to stop
Now you don't wanna let go,
And I don't wanna let you know,
That there might be something real between us two, who knew?
And we don't wanna fall but,
We're tripping in our hearts and it's reckless and clumsy,
And I know you can't love me here
I wish we had another time,
I wish we had another place,
But everything we had is stuck in the moment 'cause,
I'm still stuck in the moment with you
See like,
Just because this cold cold world saying we can't be,
Baby, we both have the right to disagree,
And I ain't with it,
And I don't wanna be so old and gray,
Reminiscin' 'bout these better days,
But convention's telling us to let go,
So we'll never know
I wish we had another time,
I wish we had another place,
'Cause everything we did,
And everything we have is stuck in the moment,
Yeah
I wish we had another time,
I wish we had another place,
But everything we have is stuck in the moment,
And there's nothing my heart can do,
(Nothing my heart can do),
To fight with time and space 'cause, (and space)
I'm still stuck in the moment with you,
Yeah,
With you,
I wish we had another time,
I wish we had another place
Now Romeo and Juliet,
Bet they never felt the way we felt,
Bonnie and Clyde,
Never had to hide like,
We do,
We do
You and I both know it can't work,
It's all fun and games,
'Til someone gets hurt,
And I don't,
I won't let that be you
Now you don't wanna let go,
And I don't wanna let you know,
There might be something real between us two, who knew?

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”

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.

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.
this is sad..im not really a justin bieber fan, but some of his songs are good, to me this song means, there relationship would be frowned upon by there friends, family, peers, but they had such strong feelings for each other. they broke up or whatever , but they still love each other very much, but they cant be together like said in the line, "like adam & eve, tradgey was our destiny" , everything they had is stuck in the moment, meaning...he still thinks of her & the memories they had, hes still living in that moment but doesnt know whether to let go of her or not.
Instead of that straight forward relationship business, where it's frowned upon. I see it to be as Justin is already in a relationship with somebody, but has fell in love with this girl he is describing.
Here I believe he's realising that it's wrong what he's doing saying: "You and I both know it can't work, It's all fun and games till, someone gets hurt, and I don't, I won't let that be you. I think he's saying that he loves having her to be with and spend time with but doesn't want her to get hurt at the end of it all.
But later in the song it's revealed she's becomed attatched to him and shares similar feelings for him: Now you don't wanna let go, and I don't wanna let you know, that there might be something real between us two, who knew? Realising that they've both fallen for eachother...
Here I believe that Beiber is saying how reckless it is to fall in love with someone else: Now we don't wanna fall but, we're tripping in our hearts and it's reckless and clumsy, cause I know you can't love me. Saying she can't be with him becuase he's already with someone, most likely regretting kidding themselves in the first place - 'wreckless and clumsy'.
This continues throughout the song, I think it's him wishing he could have been with her. I wish we had another time, I wish we had another place, cause everything we did and everything we have Is stuck in the moment. I think that's bascially saying that if he wasn't taken, and had the same situation, just in 'another time and another place', things would have worked out for them. But they're just stuck living in this world of theirs and are relluctant to let what they shared go.
Just my two cents anyway, it's how it related to me.
I think he saying that everyone is against their relationship but he still wants to be with her
I love this song!! This is me & my boyfriends song we both love this!!:)
I'm in love with this song. I can't get enough of it.
i agree with babygirl90 Their relationship wasnt meant to work but he still wishes they could be stuck in the moment with her. Luvv this song :)
this is exactly what im LIVING right now! im soo in love with my boyfriend, but society is telling us that we can't be together because of our ages...so we were FORCED to break up but we cnt let go of eachother bcuz it would be too painful && we dnt want to wonder if what we had was real wen we look backk on everything! so we r jus staying put bcuz we dont want to lose out on our potential FOREVER!
with this song....i wasn't just stumbling upon it and found it and then thought..."wow! I can really relate to this song. I love it" no. a crush from a different town had told me to listen to this song because it described his feelings better than the way he could....but basically after i listened to it (and loved it) he said that he fell in love with me when we were together and when we went back to our own towns, all he could do was reminisce..if i spelled that right. he wished we could see each other again. but he said it wouldn't be the same because things had changed.....all of his friends thought i was just another girl to deflower and then he would move on...but he didn't want to cause me the embarrassment or hassle of trying to make something work because he liked me and he didn't want me to get hurt. so he basically cut off all contact with me....but he mailed me a letter the other day saying...."I'm still stuck in the moment with you" <3 so yeah, this song is on my daily playlist :)
So.. my, now, ex girlfriend broke up with me for a week ago. And she sheared this song on facebook. I ofc listened to it and I can agree with you guys what it could mean. But my question is.. is there still a shot for me? Or is it REALLY over? What do you think of that? Please, comment. And sorry for bad english!
It's about a fan. not his sister, not a cousin A FAN. Jesus..
