I need you
Simple words
But words which had never been heard
By the soul
Stoned to death
But still living
And so he froze where he stood
And he looked to the ground
And he cried
He cried

Ride our minds
If you must
But there's always a line you don't cross
Time is short
Don't be cruel
Oh you don't know the power
In what you're saying
Oh...
And so he froze where he stood
And he looked to the ground
And he cried
He cried

People where
I come from
They survive without feelings or blood
I never could
Was stoned to death
But I'm still living
So he froze where he stood
And he looked to the ground
And he cried
He cried

So he froze
And he looked, and he looked
To the ground
And he cried
He cried

    Such a beautiful song, I'm sad that no one has interpereted this yet, so I will attempt to. I think that the soul stoned to death and the person crying is Morrissey himself. In the first part, the person crying is obviously the soul stoned to death and then later Morrissey says that he himself was stoned to death so I think they're one in the same. Also, "Stoned to death but still living" means that he was insulted so much, for whatever reason, that he has died inside. Almost like in 'You Have Killed Me'. The second section is directed towards the people doing the insulting who "don't know the power of what [they're] saying". "Ride our minds if you must" Prehaps the 'our' is gay people, if you want to look at it that way. So maybe he's saying if you must hate, you can keep your hate to yourselves but don't be cruel to people. In the last part I think he's saying that he is a sensitive person coming from a place where people are really insensitive, "They survive without feelings or blood." I think the part about not being cruel is bascially the point of the whole 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.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
