Two years and extra days, a block away he'd head to hang
Same corncer, neighborhood, his friends, the gang
Two years and extra days, a bigger kid would black his eye
No real reason, explanation and everyday no one knew why

The bigger kid was crazy, that made the gang afraid
When he told the gang to shut their mouths the gang obeyed
You've got to have a place to be, you need a place to hang around
So no one spoke, no one moved, no one made a sound

CHORUS
Both his eyes would twitch
The left one was always black
His lips they never moved
They stayed still with each attack
His ears were always rngining
In his head he'd hear a hum
And all the kids on the corner
Knew what it was from

Then one day it happened, he tooks his daily crack
His eyes rolled up, llike yesterday, he started falling back
The kids that watch this everyday now watched him hit the ground
And no one spoke, no one moved, no one made a sound
Amd no one made a sound

CHORUS

No one spoke, no one moved, no one made a sound
A sad silent situation, now he's not around

    sounds like someone that died from a drug overdose or used a lot of drugs and killed themself. "Both his eyes would twitch The left one was always black His lips they never moved They stayed still with each attack His ears were always rngining In his head he'd hear a hum And all the kids on the corner Knew what it was from"

    could be wrong, but it could be about cobain.

    "Two years and extra days, a block away he'd head to hang Same corncer, neighborhood, his friends, the gang Two years and extra days, a bigger kid would black his eye No real reason, explanation and everyday no one knew why."

    nevermind was a popular album; after that kurt couldn't stand all the fame ..."Two years and extra days" around 3 yrs later kurt killed himself. "Then one day it happened, he tooks his daily crack His eyes rolled up, llike yesterday, he started falling back The kids that watch this everyday now watched him hit the ground And no one spoke, no one moved, no one made a sound Amd no one made a sound" kurt didnt do crack, but its addictive like heroine.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
