You did not like us 'cause your girlfriend likely does
And all your friends agree on her soft spot for me
I'll have my hot hands over her soft spots soon you will see

But if you want a list of all her favourite bits
Then next time I am free, quite comprehensively
Then I will scrawl them all down for you as an apology

Tell her the times we shared, what's broke has been repaired
? of our old jokes of ones that death beats hope
But with a different girl, funnier now they've been rehearsed

Oh I hung on your every word
Til we were interrupted by the birds
Singing 'Oh your mask is slipping, Oh your mask is slipping'

Songs I've written about your girlfriend
Are just songs out of spite since you came too early

'Cause I've never made her smile like that
And she never made me smile right back
Although I always made her purr like a cat
And I never made her smile like that

She stubbed a whole club's crest on me with cigarettes
It's just to match the bird upon her football shirt
She would lift up me, She would wear that thing like a skirt

The last time I was there she let me wear her clothes
She painted my lips red so that we both ensured
I kissed her every inch, my god the girl looked like she'd burned

Oh I hung on your every word
Til we were interrupted by the birds
Singing 'Oh your mask is slipping,
Oh your mask is slipping'

Songs I've written about your girlfriend
Are just songs out of spite since you came too early

Songs I've written about your girlfriend
Are just when my heart is on

'Cause I've never made her smile like that
And she never made me smile right back
Although I always made her purr like a cat
And I never made her smile like that

    I'm quite sure it's "she would lift the hem".

    I love the attitude in this song. On one hand he's breaking up a relationship, being the other guy, but on the other hand he's heart broken & bitter because it's over and they never connected beyond physically. He's apologizing to the guy while rubbing it in. It's consoling ("I never made her smile like that") and then twisting the knife right after ("I always made her purr like a cat")

    How often do you get songs with such awesome arrogant/bitter/evil/sympathetic attitude? So far beyond "I love her" or "I miss her"

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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

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.
