This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I'm a fast breather
I'm a hairless dog
and alone at the end of the day I am just like the gahering fog
I'm a slow mover
I'm the best-laid plans
and alone at the end of the day I just sit with my head in my hands
but we speak easy
and we seldom fight
and I chew on the bones of the day while you sleep soft and warm in the night
and I can't see you
with anyone else
even if that means holding you down
even if that means losing myself
he's a smooth talker
and he shaves his face
and I wonder if you look at me and instead see him taking my place
but I do need you
and no one else
and I hope you're around and forgiving when you see me losing myself
dadadada dadadada dadadada dadadada
dadadada dadadada dada
I'm a hairless dog
and alone at the end of the day I am just like the gahering fog
I'm a slow mover
I'm the best-laid plans
and alone at the end of the day I just sit with my head in my hands
but we speak easy
and we seldom fight
and I chew on the bones of the day while you sleep soft and warm in the night
and I can't see you
with anyone else
even if that means holding you down
even if that means losing myself
he's a smooth talker
and he shaves his face
and I wonder if you look at me and instead see him taking my place
but I do need you
and no one else
and I hope you're around and forgiving when you see me losing myself
dadadada dadadada dadadada dadadada
dadadada dadadada dada

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
What an amazingly beautiful and sad song.. it certainly sounds to me like he's in a relationship he feels like he shouldn't be.
They don't fight, and he pretends everything is okay but deep down knows its not, and he can't get it off his mind - "but we speak easy and we seldom fight and I chew on the bones of the day while you sleep soft and warm in the night".
Even though he feels like he's 'losing himself' and can't give the relationship 100%, he loves her enough that he can't stand to see her with another man - "and I can't see you with anyone else, even if that means holding you down, even if that means losing myself"
However, he can't help but think she feels the same, and he worries about her straying - "he's a smooth talker, and he shaves his face, and I wonder if you look at me and instead see him taking my place."
The only part I don't get is the last line: "and I hope you're around and forgiving when you see me losing myself".... I think he knows 'losing himself' is inevitable, and just hopes she'll take care of the person he is becoming when he stays with her.
Heavy stuff! Brilliant song though.
This song seems to be about desperation and an inability to let go of a lover.
He is over-analyzing their relationship; finding it perfect in theory, but in reality it is fading and she loses interest.
I'm a fast breather I'm a hairless dog and alone at the end of the day I am just like the gathering fog
Missing a "t" :) Other than that, great job!
I adore this song so much - Robin's such a talented songwriter, as well as a musician.
I really love this song. I love the line "I chew on the bones of the day while you sleep soft and warm in the night." Such a beautiful way to explain someone that can't let things go and stays up late analyzing their actions and the day's events. I guess this song is about someone that is standing in the way of their own relationship. That's how it comes across to me anyway.
i think the line is "heather stalk" instead of hairless dog. heather stalk as in the stalk of a heather plant.
i'm not taking anything away from what you're saying, but i'm just wondering: how would that fit in the song? not meant in any sort of hostile way.
Speaking from experience I think it's about him feeling that she deserves to be with someone else but not wanting to lose her.
He feels his anxiety ("I chew on the bones of the day while you sleep soft and warm in the night"), low self-esteem ("I wonder if you look at me and instead see him taking my place") and depression ("alone at the end of the day I just sit with my head in my hands") is "holding [her] down," when in reality she could be perfectly content with the relationship.
