The Game Played Right

Emarosa

The record is broken and these cheap words your hearing
(We all know you've heard it all before)
They keep our souls aligned, I wonder how she tastes
... my ego never felt so good
Her dress fell faster and we all know what comes after

I feel this night has begun,
This fight isn't won
(Don't get me wrong?)

Is there anyone who can make me see
Help me breathe
Is there anyone who can make me feel alive inside
Sink or swim is all I know tonight
Well take me to the bed, it feels so right
Wake me up.

This should be,
That I play my hands on your waist.
Don't tell me to stop
It calls me out

I feel this night has begun,
This fight isn't won
(Don't get me wrong?)

Is there anyone who can make me see
Help me breathe
Is there anyone who can make me feel alive inside
Sink or swim is all I know tonight
Well take me to the bed, it feels so right
Wake me up.

You honestly believe
You meant something to me
I thought you knew the game
Well you should deal with the shame
No tears to make it stop
???
And think about how I did you wrong
How I did you wrong
Take me to the bed,
Because it feels so right,
Feels so right.
Take me to the bed tonight,
Tonight

Now we move so much faster than before
Straight to my room,
And baby you knock down the door
But I'm still waking up
These self inviting (whores?)
These self inviting (whores?)
Make me bring out the sun

Your body's played its role,
Its role in my game.
And now I can't believe,
I've done it
But somehow I still feel
But I still feel
So far gone...

    for some reason it sounds like he's saying in the end "i still feel so fucked up" instead of.. "i still feel so far gone""

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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,

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
