I'll burn my whole life down just to get away from you.
I'll burn my whole life down just to never hear me and
you.
I'll set it all on fire and you can listen to me drown
just so you know were through.
Now lie awake at night and remember all those things
you thought you'd never fell.
And when we leave this all behind us this failed fate
will never find us.
This failed fate. This failed fate.
My failed fate.

I can feel her hand in the clockwork of my design.
Waiting for the hourglass to empty and choke on the
sands of time.
I watched hope slip through my fingers knowing it would
never be mine.

Tonight's the night all hope turns to dust.
Tonight's the night love fails to lust.
Another cycle, there's no mending my shattered heart.

Another cycle, you're just there to play the fucking
part.

HEARTLESS!

You're just second rate and this is a half hearted
suicide.
It hurts me know but in time I'll learn to forget
everything about you.
I want to drag your face through pins and needles just
to see if you lie as sweet when you're black and blue.

Now lie awake at night and remember all those things
you thought you'd never feel.
And when we leave this all behind us this failed fate
will never find us.

This is where it starts and this is where it will end.
with her open mouth and blood-stained cheeks and death
starring in.

They all fuck the same, I can't say it enough. [2x]

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”

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.
