Out of sight
The way you come alive, when you are all alone

Whenever you want it, wherever you want it
Whenever you want it, wherever you want it
Whenever you want it, wherever you want it

Anywhere you are, my love
Let me comfort you, your eyes dripping blue

I'll be the night fly looking for your sin
You be the bright light drawing me in
No room for doubt, so just stubbornly keep on
But for how long?

But for how long?

To be here alone, tonight, tonight
To be here alone, tonight, tonight
To be here alone, tonight, tonight

And I can't say no
Not until I reap the seeds I've sown
Not until I take that long walk home
And stare you down

Words that appeased you
Words were always, dressed up to please you
Promising "someday", whispered to you so desperately all night
Walk out the door, get rid of the tells
You say it's okay, but we're kidding ourselves
Trick me to thinking, that you could be all mine
All mine, all mine

To be here alone tonight
(Whenever you want it, wherever you want it)
To be here alone tonight
(Whenever you want it, wherever you want it)

(Whenever you want it, wherever you want it)
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight

(Whenever you want it, wherever you want it)
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight

All the time, the way you are alone
The way you hold it all
I, I stalled, I watched you come down
Oh Lord, I tried
And still it's not enough

    It pretty much sums up the idea of a someone who has just broke up with his date because he has done something unrepairable, but still keeps continuosly being chased by that person. And he doesn't want to give up, but also doesn't want to compromise; still, he is always there for her. When she gets lonely, obviously. She seems out of sight, nowhere to be found, until the moment she feels alone. Then, she seems to care and call him. 'Well', he says, 'I'll be here whenever you want it, wherever you want it'.

    I love the part he sings: "Walk out the door get rid of the tells/ say it's ok but we're kidding ourselves/ trick me to thinking that you could be all mine." It's like they're at some kind of party with their mates, and then, they see them holding each other. He wants her to get there and tell everyone it's ok, even though they themselves know it's absolutely not, it's wrong and she is just fooling around with him.

    Although, it is still lonely - not to say unfair and one-side'ish - to be always waiting for someone.

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.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
