SO YOU’RE BORED WITH YOURSELF, YOU STILL GOT YOURSELF, YOU ALL KNOW WHAT I MEAN
TO NEGOTIATE, OR INFILTRATE? FUCKIN SEPARATE AND KEEP ON SINGING
I WAS ALWAYS TAUGHT TO FOLLOW, I WAS ALWAYS TAUGHT TO BUY INDOCTRINATION BY DESIGN
MAKE SOME NOISE, CALLED IT “SONG” AND SEE EYE TO EYE WITH WHO SINGS ALONG
KIDS DON’T KNOW BASEMENT SHOWS, NO RADIO, BUT I’LL KEEP SINGING
WON’T LET THEM HAVE CONTROL OF MY LIFE, WON’T GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT
IN YOUR TRADITION I’LL DEFY

YOU MAY SAY IT'S JUST A SOUND, BUT I KNOW
THERE'S MORE THAN JUST A SOUNDTRACK THAT KEEPS PEOPLE COMING AROUND
YOU MAY SAY IT'S JUST A SOUND

I’M HEARING LIES FROM A SUIT AND TIE, I HOP YOU ALL KNOW WHAT I MEAN
YOUR INDUSTRY DON’T MEAN SHIT TO ME, I’VE GOT NOTHING TO LOSE
SO I’LL KEEP SINGING
I WAS ALWAYS TAUGHT TO FOLLOW, ACCEPT THEIR DOCTRINES AS MY OWN
CAN’T LET THEM REAP WHAT THEY HAVE SOWN

I’VE GOT NO VOICE BUT I’VE GOT A SONG, I NEED NOTHING ELSE TO CARRY ON
NO NEGOTIATIONS, NO INFILTRATIONS, FUCKING SEPARATIONS IS WHAT I’M SINGING
BUG MY OWN GRAVE AGAIN ONE TO MANY TIMES
BEEN THROUGH THIS SHIT ENOUGH TO KNOW I JUST CAN’T STAY IN LINE

THIS AIN'T NO ANTHEM
WE MUST FIGHT THEM

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”

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.

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.
