I got this feeling on the summer day when you were gone
I crashed my car into the bridge, I watched, I let it burn
I threw your shit into a bag and pushed it down the stairs
I crashed my car into the bridge

I don't care, I love it
I don't care

I got this feeling on the summer day when you were gone
I crashed my car into the bridge, I watched, I let it burn
I threw your shit into a bag and pushed it down the stairs
I crashed my car into the bridge

I don't care, I love it
I don't care

You're on a different road, I'm in the Milky Way
You want me down on Earth, but I am up in space
You're so damn hard to please, we gotta kill this switch
You're from the '70s, but I'm a '90s bitch

I love it
I love it

I got this feeling on the summer day when you were gone
I crashed my car into the bridge, I watched, I let it burn
I threw your shit into a bag and pushed it down the stairs
I crashed my car into the bridge

I don't care, I love it
I don't care, I love it, I love it
I don't care, I love it
I don't care

You're on a different road, I'm in the Milky Way
You want me down on Earth, but I am up in space
You're so damn hard to please, we gotta kill this switch
You're from the '70s, but I'm a '90s bitch

I don't care, I love it
I don't care, I love it, I love it
I don't care, I love it
I don't care, I love it, I love it
I don't care
I love it

    My Interpretation

    "I got this feeling on the summer day when you were gone I crashed my car into the bridge, I watched, I let it burn I threw your shit into a bag and pushed it down the stairs I crashed my car into the bridge

    I don't care, I love it, I don't care

    I got this feeling on the summer day when you were gone I crashed my car into the bridge, I watched, I let it burn I threw your shit into a bag and pushed it down the stairs I crashed my car into the bridge

    I don't care, I love it, I don't care"

    A relationship. There's an emphasis on their closeness as "threw your shit into a bag and pushed it down the stairs" implies they lived together. "I crashed my car into the bridge, I don't care, I love it, I don't care" implies she's going to do stupid things because she's angry at how the relationship has ended, but she doesn't care about the stupidity of her actions because she just loves the feeling of being in "love".

    "You're on a different road, I'm in the milky way You want me down on earth, but I am up in space You're so damn hard to please, we gotta kill this switch You're from the 70's, but I'm a 90's bitch

    I love it, I love it"

    This verse gives us more information on their relationship. They aren't compatible as they're obviously opposites with him being practical ("you want me down on earth") and her more out there ("I'm in the milky way" & "but I am up in space") leading to fights ("you're so damn hard to please"). "We gotta kill this switch" implies these fights happen a lot as a switch is something easily turned on and off like their relationship. "You're from the 70's, but I'm a 90's bitch" could be seen as an age difference, but I see it more as another hit at their personality clashes. The other person in the 70s is again old-fashioned and practical while she, as a 90s bitch, who is more open to new experiences.

    Both verses repeat again, imply to me the girl and her partner keep doing this again or at least she continues to do it again because she hasn't learned that her kind of love doesn't work... or she simply doesn't care because she loves it.

    My Interpretation

    I don't like this song but I jokingly showed it to one of my friends a long time ago and she said "Its about a girl who got in a fight with her boyfriend and she walked out went inside her car crashed into a bridge and it blew up she turned to a ghost leaving her boyfriend while she is in heaven" and tbh I can't argue

    Song Meaning

    bridge=connection; car=communication; when I was alone I made up my mind there was no communication between us I now break our connection. all your thoughts I threw out(your shit in a bag). heading different directions; 70's vs 90's bitch (goal oriented vs free spirit); down to earth im in space (reality vs imagination); kill the switch (we only argue) relationship break up song, lets go our separate ways so says the song

    Song Meaning

    Caroline Pop was quoted as saying the meaning to the song was "It’s about when you’re tired of being sad. You wake up and you say “f*** it” and then you go and just try to break free from all that"

    Love this song, so simple yet the meaning is so effective and easily relatable too.

    My Opinion

    I love this song! It makes you want to forget all your cares and do something crazy. Because you just don't care. And you love it. :)

    They could be talking about rebelling against their parents, but I think you could generalise it to rebelling against anyone that deserves it. The line "I threw your shit into a bag and pushed it down the stairs" says to me that the singer has finally had enough of this person and is going to stop putting up with them and start doing whatever she wants.

    Go Icona Pop!

    My Interpretation

    "I got this feeling on the summer day when you were gone" "I threw your shit into a bag and pushed it down the stairs"

    sounds to me like she's been left by someone she lived with. It is her place, so she can throw his stuff out. This rules out parents in my opinion.

    "You're on a different road, I'm in the milky way You want me down on earth, but I am up in space You're so damn hard to please, we gotta kill this switch You're from the 70's, but I'm a 90's bitch"

    She has been in love with an older man, who is settled and down-to-earth and she feels she cannot meet his standards.

    "I crashed my car into the bridge, I watched, I let it burn" "I don't care"

    This is an act of liberation from the standards of her lover. The car seems to symbolize these standards, perhaps bought with his money? Or is it wealth and security she abdicates from?

    I find this song repetitive and dull, like most modern pop music.

    Song Meaning

    She's in a difficult relationship that makes her angry a lot and drives her nuts ...

    But she loves it! And she loves him!

    She's out of her mind but she doesn't want it to end. If you brush your teeth and comb your hair you can find a new lover every weekend. But the ones that can make you ache 50 years later? Life gives you maybe one or two in a lifetime.

    She's lucky enough to have one now!

    Are you smart enough to be JEALOUS?

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.

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.
