Whatever this becomes,
Whatever words i say we are the fortunate ones,
And when the days are done I wont forget.
All i see in you and me,
is a light in the dark of humanity..
And when the days are done, i wont forget..
Timid steps, come walk with me.
And with your useless words, come talk to me.
There are broken hearts now on your stereo,
but the broken beats are just too slow..
You'll cry, it doesnt change a thing.
Kill the lights and let the rain fall..
Recall the memories of yesterdays and better ways
And know the innocence is gone, move on.
From this day on we'll never be the same.
The saddest songs make sense to me,
so with your sunken eyes come look for me.
2 hour drives are 2 hours alone but 2 hour drives are better than home
You'll die, it doesnt change a thing
Faster Words and faster kids
Faster Songs and faster ends
the one thing thats stayed the same...
Ive lived through days
And Ive lived through nights
Ive had my loves
and ive had my fights..
Youve got to know, you have my heart....

    This is my theme song. It is absolutely beautifully written. This song perfectly conveys my experiences of this past year. This song is basically about someone who broke someone's heart. He'll never forget the person. He remembers them so fondly. He can't stand to think that they will never be together again, but he knows he has to accept it. He sees them as being so perfect for eachother, but he has lost his chance. He just wants the person to know, that even through all the shit, he still loves them, he still wants them in his life. Very sad. I can strongly relate to this song. There are a few parts that I like in particularly. "Two hour drives are two hours alone but two hour drives are better than home." ---This line is so true. When you feel like shit, the last place you want to be is home wallowing in it. I can remember so many times that I've just wanted to get out and drive. It is so theraputic. "You'll cry, it doesn't change a thing, Kill the lights and let the rain fall." This part basically is just saying that it's okay to cry. Sometimes you can't help it. Crying really doesn't change anything, it's just something that you have to do...maybe if you cry enough you'll drown in your own tears. I don't know...I like that lyric. "Recall the meomories of yesterdays and better ways and know the innocence is gone, move on." Wow. That is so true. That is something that I'm definitely going through this year. At a certain point, you do lose your innocence. I wanted so badly to regain it, but eventually I realized that it's gone...and I do have to move on. You can remember the past all you want, but don't dwell in it. And my las favorite lyric is: "...the one thing that's stayed the same...I've lived through days and I've lived through nights. I've had my loves, and I've had my fights. You've got to know, you have my heart." Another 'wow.' That is exactly what I would say to a certain person if I could. I would tell them how much I still care and let them know that they have my heart, and that they always did...yeah, so anyways, that's why this song is my theme song.

    Hmmm... I always had the feeling that this song was about Hardcore and the way it has changed since the 80's... even though it does have a lot of "Two hour drives... blah blah blah" shit in it that really doesn't prove what I thought. But I don't know. Not my favorite AN song.

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.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.
