(Dimly man I'm not calling you)

Another disappointed soul
Well I try
I try to keep it in control
Well I
I will end up on the dole
It's my life
And now fall into it I go

Well Blue, you've got me on the go
So don't worry
You'll never know
Your eyes
Are never cold
To me
Well at least that's what I was told

Girl
You made
My dreams come true
It's all a clue
It's all for you

Myself is still eighteen
In cue
And it's all
That I want to do

I know when I look into the sky
There is no meaning
And I'm the only one believing
That there's nothing to believe in

I'm dreaming
My aspirations got a ceiling
And now I'm constantly cleaning
The skies you're dealing

Well my guts are on the floor
For you to adore me
And all I can be

See
What I say
On the horizon
The skies are grey
The skies are grey

Has this hit
Aah has this hit

Well I'm tired every night
Some things never seem quite right
I'm never fully content
I wish it were and went

Well, for one
If you're kind
Then people are cunts
They pull stunts
To stunt your progress

I know it's slow to digest
The way you're inside stress
You're not blessed
You're definitely not blessed
I don't deserve history repeating itself
Always see myself getting picked up and left back on the shelf
Again and again
Again and again

You're not my pen
You're my paper
You're not my heart
You're its breaker
You're its breaker
You're its breaker
You're its breaker
You're its breaker

    My Opinion

    On his Zoo Kid bandcamp site, Archy says this about another song: "NOTE TO LISTENER: Perspectives change throughout." And I think that's true with a lot of his songs, including this one. A lot of times he seems to alternately address a girl who's usually called Blue or Baby Blue, or just Guuurl :) , and at other times he bitterly addresses some sort of controlling authority figure he seems to despise, like in the lines: "I don't deserve history repeating itself/ always see myself getting picked up and left back on the shelf" and "you're not my pen, you're my paper/ you're not my heart, you're its breaker." Anyway, this song overall just seems to express his feelings of futility about life and possibly also his hope that the girl can help lift him out of those negative feelings that are dogging him.

    My Interpretation

    "Another disappointed soul Well I try I try to keep it in control Well I I will end up on the dole It's my life And now fall into it I go

    Well Blue, you've got me on the go So don't worry You'll never know Your eyes Are never cold To me Well at least that's what I was told"

    I feel like this is Archy's essential break up song. In the first two verses, he summarizes his relationship with this Blue girl, it's a constantly changing and hectic one, and Archy is finding himself disappointed as he realizes that it's spiraling into something out of his grasp. He's doing all he can to save this relationship and keep her with him, but even he's beginning to doubt if he loves her anymore -- "your eyes are never cold to me, at least that's what I'm told."

    "Girl You made My dreams come true It's all a clue It's all for you

    Myself is still eighteen In cue And it's all That I want to do"

    I love the emotion in his voice in these verses, as well as the ones that follow them. He sounds so distressed and angry, bitterly singing about how Blue used to make his dreams come true. He's tried and tried to stay with her, but this is his final clue that maybe things are really done. Whether or not it's her fault or his, he doesn't say, but he brings up his youth as a sort of defense, trying to excuse his mistakes.

    "I know when I look into the sky There is no meaning And I'm the only one believing That there's nothing to believe in

    I'm dreaming My aspirations got a ceiling And now I'm constantly cleaning The skies you're dealing"

    Definitely my favourite part of the song. Archy feels no emotion when he sees something beautiful, like the sky. He feels empty, almost nihilistic, claiming that there's nothing to believe in, and he feels alone in this philosophy, and even when thinking about his future and his dreams, he sets limits for himself, and refuses to allow his hopes to get too high. And Blue, this girl, is dealing skies, much like the sky that Archy finds no beauty in, as well as the one that relates to this saying: "the sky's the limit." At one point, Blue made him feel like anything was possible, like he could accomplish whatever he wanted, but now that they've been torn apart, Archy's cleaning out all those ideas of optimism that she left in his head.

    "Well my guts are on the floor For you to adore me And all I can be"

    This is a good summation of the last few very personal verses. Archy has finally admitted all of this, and perhaps, despite the bitterness and the doubt and the hate, he still craves the feelings Blue gave him, and hopes that somehow, she will hear him spilling his guts about her, and see he still has feelings about her, and just maybe, she might return them.

    I'm pretty sure the last half changes perspective to a grander scale, but keeps within the theme of feelings of betrayal and loss and general dislike of everybody around him.

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.

Amazing
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.

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.
