Hey hey, well I'm a paralyzed soul
And I don't know where to go
Well I should open my eyes, yeah I should open my eyes

I'm a left out on the ?
The tension gets me high
And I'm so unafraid, I like fortune and fame

And when I hear the sirens coming
My temperature begins to drop, yeah
Am I so unaware that my heart's about to stop?

Hey everybody, needs somebody, wants somebody
Hey everybody cracks and bleeds
So hit your knees and pray that help is on the way
Everybody pray that help is on the way

Well I can sympathize now cause I'm finally beaten up
But this is not over yet, no this is not over yet
Even though we're damaged goods
I would love you if I could, but you are so unalarmed

By my unfortunate charm and now I'm screaming bloody murderer
As my temperature begins to drop, ah, ah
And my life is going numb
As my heart's about to stop

Hey everybody, needs somebody, wants somebody
Hey everybody cracks and bleeds
So hit your knees and pray that help is on the way
Everybody pray that help is on the way

Sometimes I wish you were dead and I'm not even joking
I'd put a gun to your head and when your world crashes down
You'll see it's not so funny, what will you say to the press

Hey everybody, needs somebody, wants somebody
Hey everybody cracks and bleeds
So hit your knees and pray that help is on the way
Everybody pray that help is on the way

    And when I hear the sirens coming, my temperature begins to drop, yeah Am I so unaware that my heart's about to stop?

    Hey, everybody needs somebody, wants somebody Hey, everybody cracks and bleeds so hit your knees And pray that help is on the way Everybody pray that help is on the way

    Well I can sympathize now cause I'm finally beaten up But this is not over yet, no, this is not over yet Even though we're damaged goods I would love you if I could But you are so un-alarmed by my unfortunate charm

    I think the song has something to do with someone hating them self and praying for someone to help them see the light.

    Song Meaning

    It's about suicide. The praying bit is hoping to get people to rush in and save him so he can be all over the news. If they failed to save him, then he'd be happy knowing that his story would be a shocker in the news. An attention seeking suicide attempt, but he succeeds instead.

Techno Ted
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

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.

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.

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/
