We crashed through cased glass
And the white pot burst of the fiery blast
We fled through chilled air and the deafening land, scattering ash
Sun is here and I'm gonna crack, crack, crack
Sun is here and I'm gonna crack

We soared through sharp quotes in a jewelry store
As your sister and dad
Concerned with kept poisons, why in the world is here his light?
Sun is here and I'm gonna crack, crack, crack
Sun is here and I'm gonna crack

Sun is here and I'm near a heart attack
Flash of fear and national blasting wield to black

'Cause kids, when I forsake the morals I was right and she was wrong
But that just kinda meant she was bringing back
When I was first the driver, I felt good and he felt bad
But kids, you'll find that most the time you feel trapped
Spring is gone and you go gas, gas, gas
Spring is gone and you go gas

And friends, when I first say the ' in the darkness of the tomb
I was unversed through it all, I was right
When I first saw the problem inside I just cried
Some have cars and cries to stop, just say it now
Fall is here and you talking down, down, down
Fall is here and you talking down, down, down
Winter is here, it's too cold to drown, drown, drown
Winter is here, it's too cold do drown, drown, drown
Winter is here, it's too cold to drown, drown, drown
Winter is here, it's too cold do drown, drown, drown
Winter is here, it's too cold to drown, drown, drown
Winter is here, it's too cold do drown, drown, drown
Winter is here, it's slowing down
Winter is here, and I'm nearly '
I don't want me around

    Since LyricFind is stupid and messed up the lyrics, here are the lyrics again, from the Silver Gymnasium booklet:

    We crashed through crazed glass in the white-hot burst of the fiery blast. We flared through choked air, in the deafening blare, in the scattering ash. We said, "Summer's here and I'm gonna crack crack crack." We sort through shocked quartz like a jewelry store -- while your sister and dad consort with kept courtesans, while the whole world sits in ruins. We laugh, "Summer's here and I'm gonna crack! Summer's here and I'm near a heart attack or flash of real feeling, teeth gnashing, and blasting and reeling through black."

    Because, kids: When I first saw your mom, I was right and she was wrong about just the type of man she was bringing back. And when I first met her dad, I felt good and he felt bad. But, kids, you'll find that, over time, you're just trapped. And spring is gone and you're gonna gasp gasp gasp.

    And, friends: When I first saw the groom rise from the darkness of the tomb, I was unnerved (though, overall, I was wowed). And when I first saw the bride, the look inside her eyes just cried, "If someone has some cause to stop, say it now!" But now fall is here, and the leaves all go down. And then winter's here, and it's too cold to drown, and I'm nearly whited-out, snowblind, like it's no business of mine if life doesn't want me around.

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
