Jesus, when you coming back
Jesus never coming back
Jesus won't take me back
Jesus never coming home

Jesus seemed to steal my soul
He'll never let me go
Jesus gonna make me pay
Never should have run away

I want to go home

Jesus when you go will you come back
Jesus when you go will you come back
Jesus I dare you to come back
Jesus when you go will you come back home

Never seems to climb inside
Walk in through my open eyes
Never shoulda ever shown
And he's all I've ever known

Jesus, when you coming back
He's never coming back
You'll never take me back
We're never going home

I want to go home

Jesus when you go will you come back
Jesus when you go will you come back
Jesus I dare you to come back
Jesus I dare you to come back home

Jesus, when you coming back
Jesus never coming back
Jesus won't take me back
Jesus never coming home

Jesus seemed to steal my soul
He'll never let me go
Jesus gonna make me pay
Never should have run away

I want to go home

Jesus when you go will you come back
Jesus I dare you to come back
Jesus I beg you to come back
Jesus when you go will you come back home

I wouldn't come back if I'd have been Jesus
I'm the kinda guy who leaves the scene of the crime

I wouldn't come back if I'd have been Jesus
I'm the kinda guy who leaves the scene of the crime

I wouldn't come back if I'd have been Jesus
I'm the

    The songs rythm makes me think of summer. The lyrics make me think of Jesus. I guess.

    Sounds very similiar to The Verve's Butterfly, more in the bass line than anything. But overall, "Jesus" is given a drug-dealing like personae in the lyrics, like the lamentation is craving the next fix. Brilliant band and songs!

    Yeah id agree with Heethan about the drug dealer connection. Using Jesus as a metaphor he is using a person who has the power to cure disease and relieve pain. Just like a drug dealer to a junkie.

    if I have to take it at it's literal meaning...its a mockery of Christ...(taunting him to come back to Earth).

    But the drug references are indeed intriguing... I've always loved the bass line on this one..

    Great tune.

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.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

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.
